Our experience extends from the planning to the construction of demanding projects, through to the implementation of PPP projects—from modernization to new-build. Proximity to our clients is writ large at our local units which have the character of medium-sized companies. Together with our clients we realize projects in the metropolises and, where necessary, also follow them up regionally.
