Building Information Modelling (BIM) is the future of construction, yet its implementation (particularly by the public sector) varies enormously from country to country.

Over recent years, we have built up an extensive track record and experience, competent knowledge and a broad range of skills in the design and development of new products for our markets.

Building Information Modelling, (BIM), is gathering momentum in the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) industry globally; some individual research over your morning coffee will quickly convince you of that.

Poland is a very attractive location for foreign direct investment (FDI) because of its stable economy, well-educated workforce, central location, infrastructure, large market (population of Poland is 38 million) and business-friendly environment.

The high cost of renting flats in Warsaw have led to a new housing service which has appeared on the rental market, the aim of which is open access to affordable rental apartments.

What interesting changes can we expect this year in the broad sense of construction law?

Apparently two-thirds of employees experience stress before going to work on Monday. The phenomenon is called 'The Sunday Night Blues'.

The office market in Warsaw is very active. It won’t slow down this year despite the fact that there will be fewer new projects in 2018 than in previous years.
