Our Expertise
HKI BUILD offers a distinctive range of services designed to support developers, architects, engineers, and contractors in achieving optimal results tailored to the specific demands of each construction project. We believe that the most effective building materials are not always the most expensive. Instead, the right materials are those that fulfill their intended purpose efficiently while staying within a reasonable budget.
Our Experience
HKI BUILD views specification writing as a collaborative process between the designer and the specification expert. We actively engage with design teams to ensure their vision is accurately and effectively translated into comprehensive documentation. Our collaborative approach sets us apart and makes us an essential partner in delivering successful projects.
Recognizing the importance of budget adherence in today’s construction landscape, we tailor our specification documents to align with project constraints. By leveraging our extensive database of master specification templates—covering a wide range of formats and depths—we ensure documentation is both purpose-driven and cost-effective.
Throughout the design phase, we provide technical guidance on building materials, drawing on a vast repository of product data and the expertise of our specialist advisors. We help architects and engineers identify the most appropriate materials, systems, and solutions to meet their project needs.
Our recommendations are grounded in internationally recognized standards, including American and European norms, and we are well-equipped to evaluate the technical compliance and suitability of materials for any given application.
Specification
At HKI BUILD, we specialize in delivering professional technical services and expert support in the field of specifications. Our team is well-versed in developing project specifications aligned with the leading formats and standards commonly used across the Middle East. These include CSI MasterFormat, British Standards, and QCS (Qatar Construction Specifications), among others.
We recognize that every project is unique—and so should be its documentation. That’s why we don’t rely on generic templates. Our specification documents begin with well-established master files and are carefully tailored to reflect the specific requirements and design intent of each project. This ensures that our deliverables are precise, relevant, and aligned with both technical and project goals.
Bill of Quantities
At HKI BUILD, we support multiple sectors of the construction industry by offering professional Bill of Quantities (BOQ) preparation and comprehensive quantity surveying services. Our work benefits both consultants and contractors by delivering tailored solutions at each project phase.
In the pre-award stage, we assist consultants by preparing precise BOQs that align with the project’s design intent and technical specifications, ensuring clarity and accuracy for bidding.
During tendering and post-award phases, we support contractors through BOQ verification, preparation of revised BOQs, and tailored services based on the contract type. This enables contractors to develop accurate, competitive pricing submissions and maintain cost control throughout project execution.
Technical Reviews
At HKI BUILD, we provide clients with in-depth technical reviews to evaluate the constructability of their projects and proactively identify potential issues before they impact execution. Our expertise enables us to detect and flag technical challenges early on, helping to prevent design deficiencies and construction-phase complications.
In addition, we offer reliable support in the prequalification process for contractors, sub-contractors, and manufacturers—ensuring that only capable and compliant entities are considered for project participation.
Technical Training
HKI BUILD offers technical training services for construction professionals, focusing on the critical aspects of building materials. A solid understanding of material performance and compliance is essential for architects, engineers, and site inspectors to ensure quality and durability in construction projects.
Our team also actively engages in regional seminars and industry events, contributing to technical discussions around specifications and construction standards. We regularly participate in conferences, training sessions, and presentations organized by institutions such as the Order of Engineers and Architects (Lebanon) and the American Institute of Architects – Middle East, reinforcing our commitment to continuous professional development and industry collaboration.
