Check official records
Ask for the contractor authorisation number and verify it through the relevant Turkish public service. Review company registry records, authorised signatories and any material changes in ownership.
Visit completed work
Inspect comparable completed buildings, confirm occupancy permits where relevant and speak directly with former landowners about timing, variations and defect resolution.
Test current capacity
A good historic record does not prove current capacity. Review concurrent projects, technical team, financing plan, supplier exposure and the security offered for your project.
Frequently asked questions
How many proposals should I compare?
Usually at least three credible proposals, compared on scope, security, timing and delivery capacity as well as commercial return.
