We respond flexibly to the individual needs of our employees (for example in adjustments to workloads) and work to find solutions together.

Joy in doing what we do
Together with our employees, we create an environment that forms the basis for excellence. We bring our strengths to shaping tomorrow's planning and construction. Trustworthy. Focused. Visionary.

We use focus groups ("communities") to present and discuss topics relevant to forward-looking architecture, allowing us to continue to develop our knowledge.

We are a training company, investing in the future by passing on our knowledge to the next generation. We are also an active sponsor for cultural and sports events.
