Who we are
Nota Consultants is a small firm set up in 2026 by an architect and an electrical engineer. We write and review contract and technical documents for construction projects, working remotely with the site team.
Our founders
Nota was founded by Ahmet Serkan Artırma, architect, and Gökhan Güney, electrical engineer: more than 45 years between them on FIDIC projects, on both the Contractor's and the Engineer's side.
Why we set up Nota
Between us we have more than 45 years of experience. We have worked on hospitals, government buildings, metro projects, shipyards and industrial plants. We have managed technical offices, design teams and electrical packages, and under FIDIC contracts we have worked on both the Contractor's and the Engineer's side.
We set up Nota because we saw the same problem on almost every project. Site teams do their work well, but they are too busy to give the documents the time they need. As a result, letters go late, submittals come back with unnecessary revisions, and claims are argued from memory instead of records.
We fill that gap. We work like part of your site team, preparing and reviewing the technical and contractual documents remotely. Without adding staff on site, you have a team with years of project experience behind your documents.
Behind the two of us is a network of experienced engineers we have worked with on site over the years. When a project needs more hands, we bring them in for the work, and every document still goes through the founders' review before it reaches you.
Our working principles
We serve only one party on each project: the Employer, the Engineer or the Contractor. By never advising more than one party on the same project, we guarantee full confidentiality and a working relationship free of conflicts of interest.

Site visits when the project needs them
We work remotely from the contract and the project record. Only when it is needed, and as agreed with you, one of us attends important meetings on site.
- Kick-off meeting with the site team
- Key meetings with the Engineer and the Employer
- Claim and dispute meetings
Four rules for every document
Start from the contract
Letters and submittals follow the contract, the specification and the drawings, and say so.
State the effect early
Every letter and RFI states its time and cost effect while there is still time to act.
Both of us on every document
One of us writes it, the other checks the technical content and the contractual wording.
Records that hold up later
Letters are written knowing they may be read again in a claim or a dispute.
Tell us what your project needs
A short note about the project is enough to start.
No obligation. Tell us the contract and the problem; we tell you honestly whether we can help.
