About the firm
Founded in 2013 in Dhaka, Kaymonto & Partners emerged from a specific gap: multinational tenants and developers operating in Bangladesh had no dedicated PMC advocate. Every “project manager” available was either employed by a contractor with delivery incentives, or an architect with design fees at stake. Neither could offer the client genuine independence.
Khurshid Almeher founded Kaymonto to correct that. The firm was structured from the outset to hold a single loyalty — to the client — with no financial interest in the contractor selected, the materials specified, or the supplier appointed. This is not a positioning statement. It is a legal and commercial reality built into how the firm operates.
Over 13 years, Kaymonto has delivered 75+ projects and 1.3M+ square feet across Bangladesh — including 430,000+ sft of green-field construction — spanning corporate headquarters, banking operations centres, hotel renovations, factory fit-outs, and structural safety audits. Clients include HSBC, Unilever Bangladesh, Chevron Bangladesh, InterContinental Dhaka, JTI, Standard Chartered Bank, and the International Finance Corporation.
The firm's approach has not changed. When Kaymonto takes on a project, it takes on one obligation: to deliver the client's brief, on time and within budget, without compromise.

Founder
Khurshid Almeher has 23+ years of experience in architecture and project management across Bangladesh and Japan. He holds a PhD in Architecture from the University of Tokyo (2005) and is a certified Project Management Professional (PMP, 2009). Before founding Kaymonto in 2013, he spent over a decade in Tokyo's design and construction industry — including project leadership roles delivering major fit-out and relocation programmes for Barclays Global Investors and Lehman Brothers — before returning to Dhaka to run the PMO for a US$235M mixed-use development. See his full career history below.
In 2020, Kaymonto & Partners was recognised as PMO of the Year by the PMI Bangladesh Chapter — a distinction that reflects the firm's consistent approach to programme governance and client accountability. Khurshid has served as Management Delivery Partner (MDP) across the HSBC Bangladesh portfolio, a designation that reflects the level of accountability HSBC placed in his team across a programme valued at over US$30M.
His sustainability record spans three LEED Gold certifications (Barclays Global, HSBC, Unilever), one LEED Platinum (HSBC), and one EDGE-certified project (IFC's head office). Alongside Kaymonto, he serves as an independent consultant on development projects funded by the World Bank, KfW Development Bank and IFC, and teaches Construction Management as Adjunct Professor at the University of Asia Pacific.
His academic rigour translates directly into how Kaymonto operates: structured planning before mobilisation, documented controls throughout, and complete handover at closeout. No shortcuts. No assumptions.

The team
Our team of 24 — based mainly in Dhaka, with a presence in Chattogram — combines project managers, quantity surveyors, MEP engineers and site supervisors. Every engagement is led by a senior professional with direct project accountability, backed by the full bench of the firm. Every member operates under a single Health, Safety & Environmental policy: no one gets hurt, no environmental damage, and world-class HSE performance on every site we touch.
“We work exclusively for the client, with zero financial interest in who builds or supplies.”
No referral arrangements with contractors. No joint ventures with suppliers. No secondary revenue streams tied to project delivery. When Kaymonto recommends a vendor, the basis is performance — not margin.
This structure matters most at the moments when projects are most at risk: when a contractor submits a variation claim, when a supplier proposes a substitution, when a schedule slips and someone needs to decide who bears the cost. At each of those moments, Kaymonto's position is unambiguous. We work for the client. Only.
Our process
Every Kaymonto engagement follows a structured process built around the client's programme, not the contractor's.
We establish project scope, programme, and budget before any contractor is engaged. Ambiguity at this stage becomes a variation claim later — we close it before ground is broken.
Project Execution Plan, risk register, procurement strategy, and site controls — fully documented and agreed before mobilisation. This is the governing document for the entire project.
Independent daily oversight on site. Weekly progress and EHS reports to the client. Variation claims reviewed, challenged, and certified against the contract — not the contractor's invoice.
Defect rectification, financial closeout, as-built drawings, O&M manuals, and full document handover. A project isn't finished until every record is in the client's hands.
