Who are the right Turkish counterparts in construction and building technology?
It depends on your product and route to market. These are the counterpart types we usually look for:
| Counterpart | Role |
|---|---|
| Building material distributor | Stocks and sells products to dealers and contractors |
| Contractor | Specifies and buys products for projects |
| Developer | Decides on systems and materials for residential and commercial projects |
| Architecture and engineering firm | Specifies products in project designs |
| Manufacturer | Local production or assembly partner |
What should you prepare before meeting Turkish companies?
Turkish companies decide faster when the basics are ready before the first meeting.
- Technical documentation and test reports in English
- Conformity marking and certificates your products hold
- Reference projects and case material
- Installation and after-sales support model
- Indicative pricing and lead times
How do we qualify counterparts in this sector?
We screen every company against criteria agreed in the brief. Typical criteria in this sector:
- Project portfolio and the segments they serve
- Technical team able to specify or install the product
- Distribution or dealer coverage by region
- Interest in the specific technology, such as seismic or energy-efficient systems

Why is earthquake resilience a recurring topic?
Turkey is in an active seismic zone, so structural safety and earthquake-resistant technologies regularly come up in conversations with contractors and developers.
If your products address structural safety, retrofitting or seismic isolation, make that clear in your brief so that we target the right engineering and project decision-makers.

Frequently asked questions
Do building products need Turkish certification?
Requirements depend on the product. Turkey aligns many technical regulations with the EU; check with the Turkish Standards Institution (TSE) or a specialist from our partner network.
Should we target contractors or distributors first?
For standard products, distributors usually come first. For systems and specified products, contractors, developers and engineering firms matter more. We decide the target mix in the brief.
