Construction is the culmination of several months (even years) of collaboration amongst architects, engineers, project managers, construction crews, and government administrators. When performing projects with multicultural and geographically dispersed teams, construction projects rely heavily on good communication. It’s critical that all components of your communication be accurately translated, and accurate construction translation services become indispensable for the industry.

Types of Construction Translation Services We Provide
# Architectural Translation Services
Are you an architectural firm looking to translate your building plans, designs, construction proposals and marketing content into Chinese? The modern architecture business is global. This is why some of the best, landmark skyscrapers and buildings around the world are designed by architects from different countries.
# Commercial Elevators Translation Services
The modern elevator and escalator systems make ultra-tall skyscrapers and contemporary buildings a reality. These complex machines require sophisticated installation and operating instructions to ensure the best operational performance.
When it comes to international installations, elevator documentation must be translated accurately into the local language to ensure safety and commercial compliance.
For example, China and the US have different regulatory standards for elevators. China follows its own GB/T standards, while the US adheres to ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers) codes. The documents need to reflect compliance with the specific standards of each country.
# Building Materials Translation Services
Translating building materials is one of the areas of our expertise. We know that sometimes, you need to work with foreign suppliers, who may not understand your language, or you, as a building materials manufacturer, might be looking to supply to buyers in foreign markets.
For example, the roof tiles in China and in the UK refer to different types of materials. In China, the focus may be more on traditional clay tiles, while in the UK, there’s a wider range of materials, including clay tiles and slate, each with its own specific terminology.
