Exponent Engineers (Pvt.) Limited was instituted in the year 2002. From a small team of structural engineers providing solutions to structural engineering problems, the company has grown into a sizeable team of professionals, offering Design Consultancy and Project Management expertise on Infrastructure, Highways/motorways, Environmental Studies, and steel / concrete Structure Projects. Over the years, the Company worked extensively on JICA, ADB, USAID, and World Bank-funded projects providing its team members opportunities to work alongside international professionals and institutions of high repute. The company has also expanded its realm of services to Feasibility Studies, Transaction Advisory and REIT support services. Our Company has regional offices in three major cities of Pakistan, i.e. Islamabad, Lahore, and the Head office at Karachi.

When I look back, it appears to me as if the journey has just started yesterday and this two decade’s achievement is too little. At this juncture, I ponder and enquire myself what shall be our goals and targets for the future. Shall we set a target for the size of the company in terms of the number of employees and the financial turnover? The answer, I get is No! This kind of target will focus our energies on a narrow purpose and perpetual chase of numbers instead of the pursuit of everlasting achievements, honor, and repute amongst the engineering fraternity.

Exponent Engineers shall grow in a way that shall leave an everlasting mark on society and set a direction for future generations to follow. The very fabric of Exponent Engineers shall be woven with hard work, honesty, integrity, responsibility, commitment, and loyalty. Instead of size and financial gains, Exponent Engineers shall focus on and shall cultivate ethical values best suited for the social and cultural uplift of our country and society.

Exponent Engineers shall be a company known for its superior time-oriented, and innovative engineering solutions for its clientele. It shall set new standards of principled and pioneering engineering that shall serve as a reference for others to follow. This all is possible by stimulating the Exponent Team members to relentlessly improve upon their technical skills and moral values. Senior team members shall endeavor to become mentors and should focus on the growth and training of their future generation. Our efforts shall further lead to providing a capable and talented future generation of engineers to our beloved country. Dear Exponent Family, we have to work together as a unified force of engineers for our successful, prosperous, and honorable future. Let us Join hands with a common vision to strive for this cause !!!
