About

Founder-led expertise built over three decades

Afaq Hussain

Door Specs Consultant is a founder-led architectural hardware consultancy established by Afaq Hussain. His more than 30 years of industry experience spans project sales, hardware scheduling, specifications, estimation, tender support and technical coordination across Pakistan and the GCC.

The consultancy supports project teams with structured, independent and project-specific door hardware advice, pairing hands-on project-sales and commercial experience with deep technical expertise, from design intent through execution.

Experience with internationally recognised organisations

  • Häfele
  • JB Saeed Home & Hardware
  • Al Danube Building Materials
  • Haroon Company

  1. Where it started

    1995–2001

    Showroom & Sales Management

    Haroon Company, Sharjah

    It began on a showroom floor in Sharjah: running showroom operations, quotations and inventory control, and learning one customer question at a time what door hardware actually has to do once it is installed. That is the technical foundation the consultancy still runs on.

  2. From showroom to site

    2001–2004

    Projects, Ironmongery & Joinery

    Al Danube Building Materials, Sharjah

    Delivering building-material, ironmongery, joinery and kitchen/bathroom-fitting packages meant answering to programme and quality, and keeping suppliers, contractors and clients aligned long enough to get there.

  3. Scale, and the technical side

    2005–2013

    Regional Hardware Management, GCC

    Häfele

    Then a step up in scale with the German furniture-fittings and architectural-hardware leader: regional operations and key accounts across Eastern Province KSA, Bahrain and Abu Dhabi and, increasingly, technical guidance to the architects and contractors specifying the work.

  4. Leading the whole package

    2014–2026

    General Manager, Pakistan

    JB Saeed Home & Hardware

    Leading architectural hardware, furniture fittings and building-material projects in Pakistan end to end: clients, architects, contractors and consultants, from enquiry through completion. Three decades of seeing where hardware schedules hold up and where they fail is what Door Specs Consultant was built on.
