Independent engineering supervision, so your building is built to the drawings

Guyana is building faster than ever, and not every site keeps up. Footings poured without inspected steel, columns out of plumb, concrete mixed by eye and roofs that leak in the first rainy season are expensive to put right once they are covered. OTEK's engineers sit on the owner's side of the table and check the work before it is hidden, at every stage that matters.

What we deliver

We supervise projects built by other contractors as the owner's engineer, carry out structural assessments and roof-load checks, investigate cracks, settlement and leaks, and design the remedial work. Every visit ends with a written report with photos, so owners, lenders and insurers have a record they can rely on.

All engineering follows Guyana's national building codes and international standards including ASTM, ACI and BS/Eurocodes, with engineering sign-off for government, commercial, industrial and residential clients.
