Project management support, prepared remotely
Contract correspondence, technical submissions, programmes, reports and registers, plus specifications, contract health checks and bills of quantities.
Documents we prepare and review
It can be a full documentation package or a single critical submittal. At Nota every piece of work is reviewed by at least two specialists: one prepares it and the other checks it independently. Gaps and risks are found before the file reaches the other party.
Project management documentation
Your remote project office. You share the contract, drawings, programme and correspondence; we prepare or review what has to be written, check it against the contract and hand it back ready to issue under your own letterhead, whichever party you represent.
Contract correspondence
Contractual correspondence between the project parties: notices of claim within the contractual time bar, variations, instructions and replies, backed by contemporary records.
Letters, Notices under 20.1 / 20.2, Variations, Claims
Technical submissions
Material submittals with clause-by-clause compliance statements, method statements and ITPs written for the site conditions you describe, shop drawing transmittals, and RFIs that ask one clear question. For the Engineer, we review submittals and method statements against the specification and draft RFI responses.

Common questions
Do you only work on FIDIC contracts?
No. FIDIC is our specialism, but we work under any construction contract: public works, private and Employer-specific contracts, in Türkiye and abroad.
Do you come to site?
Not as a rule. We work remotely from what you share: contract, drawings, specification, programme, site photos and correspondence. Your team keeps control of the site; we take the paperwork off them. Only when it is needed, and as agreed with you, we attend important meetings on site.
Which contracts do you work with?
Mainly the FIDIC 1999 and 2017 suites. We have also worked under U.S. government contracts (USACE).
Can you start with something small?
Yes. You can start with one submittal or one notice and move to ongoing remote support later.
Which countries do you work in?
Any country. We work from Istanbul and support contractors wherever the project is, as long as the documents are in English or Turkish.
In which languages do you work?
English and Turkish.
Not sure which level of support you need?
Send a short note about the project and we will propose a starting point.
No obligation. Tell us the contract and the problem; we tell you honestly whether we can help.
