The organization is divided into two main areas – Building & Sustainability and Engineering & Infrastructures – managed by specific Departments and a Steering Group. Cross-functional roles such as Administration and Management Control ensure efficiency and process oversight. We have chosen to operate according to a model inspired by major international design firms: solid, integrated, and innovation-driven.
