Our architectural technical translation teams work with mother-tongue familiarity in more than 200 language combinations. From Europe to the Far East, we build teams that live and work in your target territory, have a native understanding of the culture you’re working in, and know the local building regulations inside out. Working with local building regulations, electricians, plumbers, and structural engineers, we produce drawings, specifications, and mechanical/electrical layouts that conform to local requirements. That’s why some of the most recognisable names in construction and building services trust Absolute Translations with their tenders, building plans, and technical specifications. Some of those names include Balfour Beatty plc, Laing O’Rourke, AECOM, ARUP, and Barhale Construction.
