I am Aigars Kauliņš, a Latvian construction procurement and international sourcing professional. I have coordinated procurement for eight residential buildings in Latvia while working remotely from Turkey. Now I bring that experience, and an established procurement office, from Bulgaria.

What do you need to know first?
Choose the question you would ask in an interview. The profile opens with the relevant evidence—not a ten-minute career chronology.
THE DELIVERY EVIDENCE
Eight buildings. One coordinated procurement function.
Working with developers, architects, a general contractor, suppliers and multiple subcontractors, I supported the material decisions and sourcing required to keep construction packages moving—even while based in Turkey.
08RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGSA Latvian development coordinated through remote procurement periods
CASE FILE 01 / PROJECT DELIVERY
Large-scale coordination without permanent site presence.
I handled procurement coordination for an eight-building residential development in Latvia, including periods based remotely in Turkey. The essential skill was not distance—it was keeping specifications, decisions, supplier commitments and project communication connected.
Worked with architects, developer representatives, the general contractor and suppliers.
Coordinated procurement needs across up to 16 subcontractor interfaces.
Covered material categories including façades, flooring, doors, ceilings, paint and finishes.
Selected experience summaries reflect professional assignments. Commercial comparisons below are separate examples; they are not presented as financial results of the eight-building project.
Commercial thinking / selected comparisons
A sourcing decision is more than a price.
02 / VALUE
Find the alternative. Protect the specification.
Direct factory sourcing, competitive quotations and technical comparison can uncover meaningful price differences. But a lower unit price is only useful if the product, compliance documents, freight and schedule work for the project.
The examples shown are historic quoted-price comparisons across selected sourcing assignments. They are not audited realised savings, and they do not include a claim of final landed-cost equivalence.
Façade tiles
€18→€15/ m²

Mapped to your vacancy
Choose a requirement. See how I address it.
Kuzu's advertisement places equal emphasis on architectural materials, end-to-end procurement, international logistics, stakeholder coordination and reporting. This is how I connect those demands to practical work.
01 / MATERIAL & DESIGN
Materials must satisfy the design—not just the purchase order.
Experience across façades, cladding, HPL, flooring, doors, paints, ceilings and interior finishing packages. I work from specified performance and aesthetic requirements before comparing available suppliers and alternatives.
Relevant experienceMaterial package sourcing and architectural coordination for Latvian residential construction.
Proposed Kuzu outputTechnical / commercial comparison, samples and documentation status, risks and recommendation for approval.
A repeatable procurement process
Six gates. Clear accountability.
Select any phase to see where my work ends, where Kuzu's approvals begin, and which evidence gets recorded.
GATE 01 / BEFORE SOURCING
Start with a brief the market can actually quote.
Confirm BoQ, drawings, specifications, quantities, target budget, required dates, acceptance criteria and decision owners. Incomplete requirements become visible risks rather than silent assumptions.
MY RESPONSIBILITYStructure the package, flag gaps, define supplier enquiry and procurement milestones.
KUZU RETAINSDesign ownership, specifications, budgets and approval of the RFQ baseline.
An alternative to a conventional hire
One procurement function. Two locations. Clear decisions.
I propose a B2B professional services agreement through KATE LINE GLOBAL, subject to Kuzu's actual scope, site requirements and mutually agreed terms.

A practical conversation
Let's discuss the procurement packages, not just the job title.
I would welcome a conversation about the material packages Kuzu needs to deliver, critical dates, the interface with Riga site management, and whether a dedicated remote-first procurement service is the right structure.
