Sworn and technical translation by civil engineering specialists of FIDIC contracts, international construction tenders, architectural and structural drawings and industrial facility specifications.
Document translation for megaprojects such as international construction, infrastructure, power plants, bridges and industrial facilities requires the precise integration of civil engineering, architecture and international procurement law. A mistranslated dispute-resolution clause in a FIDIC contract or a tolerance value in a structural calculation report can halt site work, trigger million-dollar claims and lead to international arbitration.
The construction and architecture sectors have two main translation needs. Tender bids, letters of guarantee, FIDIC contract annexes, work-completion certificates and environmental impact assessment (EIA) reports submitted to international public works tenders by the General Directorate of Highways, State Hydraulic Works, Ministry of Transport or foreign public bodies are prepared as sworn and notarised translations. Architectural concept presentations, technical legends on BIM/CAD drawings, site daily reports, material data sheets and quantity schedules are delivered as professional construction and architectural translations while preserving formats and drawing layers.
Our senior technical translators have backgrounds in civil engineering and architecture. We provide global language support for major projects with expertise in FIDIC Yellow, Red and Silver Book terminology.
Our linguists with domain-specific background work in strict compliance with international standards, statutory terminology, and custom corporate translation memories.
The certification level depends on whether your construction documents are for a tender committee or a project site:
An official translation stamped by an engineer-translator sworn before a notary, as required by public authorities and arbitration boards.
Specialist translation for direct use by site engineers and architects when notarisation is not required.
Tender submissions and binding FIDIC agreements require sworn translation certified by a notary. Professional architectural translation of drawing legends and site instructions can help accelerate project workflows.
FIDIC conditions, particular specifications, consortium and joint venture (JV) agreements.
Construction materials, tolerance limits, acceptance criteria and public tender bids.
DWG and DXF plans, sections, structural legends and building services details.
Environmental impact reports, geological surveys, hydrology analyses and seismic assessments.
Cost estimates, unit price analyses, work schedules and final progress payment files.
Site rules, working-at-height instructions and risk assessment matrices.
Translation of bids for billion-dollar infrastructure tenders in the Gulf, Europe, Africa and Central Asia.
Localisation of installation, commissioning and architectural implementation guides for turnkey facilities built by foreign contractors.
Arbitration translation of claim files in disputes between employers and contractors.
We build a project glossary for the relevant construction discipline, such as tunnelling, bridges, power plants or superstructures.
We assign a technical translator familiar with civil engineering and FIDIC contract terminology.
We translate legends and text directly in AutoCAD files without disturbing drawing layers.
A legal editor and a civil engineer jointly review contract clauses.
We complete notarisation in line with official tender requirements and deliver physical or digital copies.
Fees depend on the engineering and legal content, the number of CAD drawings, tender urgency and notarial certification requirements.
We preserve layout and drawing alignment for AutoCAD legends and deliver in the original format without an additional charge.
Yes. We deliver architectural plans, structural drawings and CAD legends directly in .dwg and .dxf formats without disrupting drawing layers.
Senior translators with dual expertise account for both civil engineering terminology and international arbitration and contract law.
Yes. We coordinate teams of engineering translators and can deliver tender files hundreds of pages long within 24–48 hours.
Our engineering translators with chemistry and biology expertise follow international environmental regulations, World Bank environmental standards and local regulatory terminology.
Yes. After notarising tender documents, we can arrange an apostille from the Governor’s Office and, where necessary, follow the relevant consular certification process on your behalf.
