Embassies & Secure Environment
Embassies & Secure Environment
Embassies, in good times and bad, represent native country values while they are in host countries and are strong enough to withstand the force of bombs. While previous designs may have once resembled fortresses and bunkers, new diplomatic buildings are created to comply with strict security standards. BIM in our projects was a useful tool in helping the designers, planners and contractors.
