Kazakhstan-based engineering company Engineering Services continues to expand its international project portfolio. The company will participate in the delivery of the new Digital Residence residential development in Baku, further strengthening the presence of Kazakh engineering expertise in Azerbaijan.
For Engineering Services, Baku is not a new market. The company has already been working on projects in Azerbaijan, and Digital Residence will become another addition to its growing international portfolio.
This project reflects a broader trend: Kazakh companies are increasingly exporting not only goods and construction materials, but also knowledge-based services – design, construction supervision, project management, and engineering expertise.



Engineering is different from traditional exports. Entering a foreign construction market requires more than opening a representative office or finding a local partner.
Companies need to adapt to a different regulatory environment, client requirements, construction practices, and models of interaction between project stakeholders.
At the same time, the core professional principles remain universal: the quality of design solutions, safety, construction control, schedule management, and early identification of technical risks.
The ability to successfully transfer and adapt accumulated expertise from one country to another is becoming an important indicator of an engineering company’s maturity.
For many years, Kazakhstan’s exports have primarily been associated with raw materials and manufactured products. Today, another segment is gradually developing – the export of professional expertise.
Kazakh architects, designers, IT teams, engineers, and consultants are increasingly able to compete for projects beyond the domestic market.
This is particularly significant in the construction sector. Every new international project demonstrates that foreign clients value not only competitive labour costs, but also the knowledge, practical experience, and professional competence of Kazakh specialists.
“For me, an international project is an indicator of how competitive our engineering school is beyond Kazakhstan. When a Kazakh team is trusted to work on a project in another country, that is a real export of expertise. I believe we should talk more about this kind of export,” says Karimzhan Bikbayev, CEO of Engineering Services.

Azerbaijan has become one of Engineering Services’ international areas of development. Working on multiple projects in the country enables the company to continuously build local expertise, develop teams, and gain a deeper understanding of the Azerbaijani construction market.
Digital Residence will continue this work.
For the company, international projects also serve as an important tool for professional development. Working with different regulatory systems, clients, and construction practices allows the team to transfer effective solutions between markets and strengthen its engineering competencies.
The significance of Digital Residence goes beyond another contract for Engineering Services. It reflects a broader trend: Kazakh engineering is gradually becoming a professional service that can be successfully exported.
For domestic engineering companies, this creates opportunities to grow beyond Kazakhstan’s construction market and compete for projects across Central Asia, the Caucasus, and other regions.
Digital Residence in Baku is another example of a Kazakh company contributing to projects abroad by exporting what matters most in engineering – knowledge, expertise, and a systematic approach to quality management.
Engineering Services provides services in design, construction supervision, technical assessment, project management, and financial and technical monitoring.
The company’s mission is: “We create a sustainable and reliable environment for life.”
