Civil engineering design
We carry out civil engineering projects for new buildings, extensions, and modernizations in Romania, including Oradea and Bihor, by coordinating architecture, structure, and installations.

Design brief and building organization
We develop projects for new civil constructions, extensions, and modernizations by correlating the design brief with urban planning regulations, topographic data, and the geotechnical characteristics of the site. We analyze functional requirements, necessary capacities, usage flows, and access conditions to define the spatial organization and volumetric configuration. We establish the relationships between spaces, internal and external circulation, level elevations, and utility connections, integrating site constraints and future development possibilities.
Structures, foundations, and interventions
We define structural and foundation solutions in relation to the building's purpose, geometry, spans, height regime, and the characteristics of the foundation soil. We dimension structural elements and joints based on relevant actions and calculation combinations, ensuring compliance with ultimate and serviceability limit states. We analyze load transmission, assembly stiffness, behavior under seismic actions, and deformation compatibility. For interventions on existing buildings, we base our solutions on available documentation, surveys, investigations, and the conclusions of necessary technical expert reports, addressing the connections between preserved, modified, and newly introduced elements.
Coordination of architecture with installations
We coordinate architecture, structure, and installations by verifying the geometric and functional compatibility of the solutions. We determine the position of openings, shafts, technical channels, and equipment spaces, as well as the conditions for their support, access, and replacement. We address the penetrations of constructive elements, joints, connections, and interfaces with exterior landscaping, aiming to avoid interferences and maintain the continuity of fire, water, noise, and thermal protection. We correlate site leveling with access points, water drainage, and existing infrastructure.
Building envelope, protection, and use
We detail the assembly of the building envelope, partitions, roofs, and elements in contact with the ground, depending on exposure conditions and usage requirements. We analyze the continuity of thermal and hydro-insulation, the treatment of thermal bridges, condensation risk, and joint airtightness. We integrate requirements for acoustic protection, fire safety, security, and accessibility in use, according to the building's function. We select materials and constructive solutions in relation to necessary performance, layer compatibility, durability, and access for inspection, maintenance, and repairs.
Documentation and site supervision
We prepare technical reports, calculation briefs, plans, sections, execution details, specifications, and bills of quantities, corresponding to the design phase and the investment's scope. We specify material characteristics, installation conditions, tolerances, and quality checks necessary for realizing the designed solutions. We correlate documentation across specialties and analyze the technical and economic implications of proposed variants in relation to the budget, schedule, and execution conditions. We provide technical assistance to clarify details, resolve inconsistencies, and adapt the project to on-site conditions.
