ABOUT US
The construction industry, both in our country and globally, is undergoing a major transformation. From construction methods to business management practices, rapid changes are taking place. Building materials and solutions are increasingly diversified and customized to meet the evolving needs and expectations of consumers.
This transformation has led us to reevaluate our traditional production habits and adopt a more flexible, innovative, and efficient approach to our work. As a company, we continuously update our systems, leaving behind some old methods either partially or entirely in favor of more contemporary practices.
Our planning department has identified time pressure as one of the biggest obstacles to quality. With this in mind, we have implemented Total Quality Management in all our construction practices. This enables us to consistently deliver projects that are timely, cost-effective, and of high quality, while constantly raising our standards.
Beyond construction, our company also embraces its social responsibilities. We actively support urban transformation projects and contribute to renewal efforts and seminars organized in collaboration with local authorities. To ensure sustainable development, we provide our workforce and management teams with ongoing, practice-oriented training sessions.
Founded in 1968, our company believes in the continuity of change and progress. With over 40 years of experience in the industry, we have combined this deep-rooted expertise with a dynamic structure that is quick to adapt to new technologies. Our flexible organization, skilled team, and pioneering approach have secured our rightful place in the sector.
At Ä°LKTAÅž Construction, we continue to move forward with determination—staying true to our values and embracing innovation every step of the way.
Sincerely,
Merih Ä°lk
