SERVICES

We provide services to regional and international clients in four operational business divisions; Building & Places, Environment & Resource Conservation, Roads & Network, Conservation of Heritage Sites & Upgradation of Infrastructure Facilities in Urban Fabric.

We are ALWAYS able to meet the most complex challenges and tasks of our customers – offering cost-efficient, reliable and carefully planned services.

Buildings + Places: Good architecture combines aesthetics with functionality and profitability with sustainability. Holistic customer orientation, goal-oriented creativity and sustainable benefits are at the heart of our thinking and actions. We apply these values in our projects, from iconic buildings, offices and commercial buildings, to logistic parks, sport arenas and production facilities. The technical interaction between our architects and engineers and our innovative and award-winning use of Building Information Modelling (BIM) ensures tailored, technically feasible single-source solutions and a conflict-free planning process across borders. At HMS, we place particular value on the protection and conservation of the environment. We support our clients in areas such as sustainability consulting and building certifications. Our local expertise will ensure you always comply with the applicable directives and regulations.

Environment: Sustainability, resource conservation, alternative energy, and improved quality of life through protection and preservation of the environment are the engines for a successful future — but adopting these principles and approaches can pose a major challenge to companies. HMS helps realize your visions, guide your strategies, tackle your challenges, and achieve your individual environmental goals. Our service teams and consultants use their global expertise in environmental and infrastructure projects and understanding of market leading technologies, relevant laws and the latest research to support you with your projects. We can help you deliver a better world for the next generation.

Roads & Network: The modern world demands high mobility and fast connections. Our roads give us freedom, individuality and together with the car define a certain standard of living. With profound experience and technical know-how, HMS is the ideal service provider delivering all road and civil engineering services from one source. This includes asphalt or block paving roads and surfaces including hydraulic engineering, nature and flood protection. Our specialists build all types of roads and highways including airport runways with all auxiliary activities such as earthworks and sewerage systems. Best qualified employees and the use of state-of-the-art technology and machinery guarantee work of the highest quality completed by the deadline. Our partnership with strategically placed asphalt mixing plants means HMS is positioned to guarantee an independent and cost-effective execution of any project.

Conservation of Heritage Sites & Upgradation of Infrastructure Facilities in Urban Fabric: Cultural endowments such as traditional architecture, unique streetscapes, and historic sites are increasingly recognized as important economic resources in both developed and developing countries. Cities are often an important focal point for development based on these resources because they provide concentrations of heritage assets, infrastructure services, private sector activity, and human resources. Improving the conservation and management of urban heritage is not only important for preserving its historic significance, but also for its potential to increase income-earning opportunities, city livability, and competitiveness.

World Bank-financed projects have found that heritage conservation has increased city livability by preserving streets and neighborhoods built at a human scale, public areas that support positive community interaction, and green spaces that offer recreational activities. By preserving their heritage, cities can create a unique sense of place and singular urban landscapes, developing strong branding and conditions to attract investors. This is especially true for investors in tourism, which is one of the largest industries in the world today and has a track record of creating significant levels of employment for unskilled and semi-skilled workers. In addition, improving a city’s self-image and identity through recognition of heritage assets has been shown to increase civic pride and energize communities to actively address a wide range of development and livelihood issues. Today’s rapidly-urbanizing cities, with uncontrolled growth and informal expansion, pose a significant risk for irreplaceable cultural and natural resources. For example, developers exert pressure to demolish low-rise traditional buildings and eliminate parks in favor of high-density developments, and municipalities install needed infrastructure in a manner that has unnecessarily negative impacts on traditional cityscapes. As urban populations rapidly expand, local resources tend to be scarce and most municipalities struggle to provide basic infrastructure services, making investment in heritage conservation a low priority. Therefore, it is increasingly important for World Bank-financed projects to include wellthought- out interventions that include heritage conservation elements because of their potential contributions to economic development and urban revitalization.

HMS is proud to be part of that few resource that has learnt with time to strictly follow the World Bank and UNESCO guidelines to execute projects of façade up-lifting and infrastructure upgradation in heritage sites and walled cities of Pakistan. The extensive training programs of our staff and our specialized equipment systems have enabled us to win the trust of our clients in this domain. Be it the public health engineering or the telecommunication/electrical infrastructure upgradation, we stick ourselves to international standards of procedures and materials selection.
