WHO WE ARE
Know Our Story And How We Work.
Werkz deSquare was started in the year 2013 by Ashwin George Benjamin, a civil engineer with over a decade’s experience in India and Singapore. Ashwin started his career working with project management companies and within a span of a few years, rose to the position of Manager – Projects. His client management, contract negotiation, budget & time management and communication skills soon saw him handle large-scale fit outs for office spaces and luxury hotels. He has successfully completed and transformed, over half a million square feet of retail space, over a million feet of corporate interior spaces apart from projects in hospitality and residential sectors.
While he successfully delivered several projects, he realised his passion for aesthetics, quality and detail in boutique and high-end projects. These projects required a level of insight, attention to detail and coordination between stakeholders across countries which he loved handling. Upon his return from Singapore, he decided to start his own venture which focused on project management consultancy for luxury/high end projects.
“Project management when done right, is achieving the outcome with a series of pre-determined, deliberate acts, well-orchestrated between multiple stakeholders.”
-Ashwin George Benjamin
