Hashim Naqui has been known to me for a very long time, as a person of integrity, honesty, hard-working and very talented in the design field. He has provided us some very innovative and effective solutions for our 300 bed super specialty corporate hospital, and we are very happy with his work, dedication and the end results. We plan to use his future services as we have a very special relationship with him at many levels and he has already done some additional work for our other operations. Please feel free to contact me.

I have know Hashim professionally since he joined O’Brien/Atkins Associates, PA in 1994 until my retirement as President and COO in 2015. I worked with him both in his role as a Project Architect for O’Brien/Atkins and in his role as the Director of his firm own firm in Hyderabad, India, which he started in 2000 to support O’Brien/Atkins’ architectural work. During my 20-year association with Hashim, he has worked successfully on upwards of forty projects, many large and complex, with O’Brien/Atkins’ architecture, engineering and planning teams.

I have known Hashim Naqui for over 20 years; as a professional colleague and as a friend. He is smart, talented and skilled at his trade. He has been keenly instrumental as a consulting architect in assisting O’Brien Atkins Associates with the production of construction documents on sizable projects under our commission. Most importantly, he is honest and maintains the highest integrity in all that he does.

Hashim is a great architect and a wonderful human being. I’ve known him professionally since I first met him nearly a decade ago in Hyderabad and his approach to design was always creative at the same time functional. We’ve worked on a 20-acre development in Hyderabad and my apartment in Mumbai. This ability to combine beauty, cost and functionality is what sets him apart from the others. His professional integrity, which is relatively standard in the western world, is not as common for someone operating in India and elsewhere. His ability to lay out a big picture as well as smaller details of the project is valuable for quality conscious clients. Having worked in diverse environments like the US, Middle East and India he has a unique understanding of culture which is so integral to design. I would have no hesitation in recommending him for a project of any size anywhere and to be paid top fees, as every penny would be worth several times over in the work he will produce and execute.
