Construction

Construction process

Our approach


We manage the entire construction process, providing comprehensive support from the permitting stage through to successful project completion. We also engage in selected phases of the investment. 


Our advisory services in the construction process go beyond legal aspects. They are built on a solid understanding of the market and a business-oriented perspective that sets us apart. This combination ensures that the investments we support proceed quickly, efficiently, and safely. 

For whom? 


Our advisory services in construction investment processes are addressed to all participants in these complex projects – primarily contractors, developers, designers, contract engineers, and investors (including industrial, real estate investors), regardless of the type of investment (greenfield, brownfield, blackfield, etc.).


We serve medium and large companies from Poland and abroad, including the largest contractors and investors of private investments in the country. We also have experience in managing cross-border construction projects carried out worldwide. 

Construction investments are not just about plans and schedules – they are complex undertakings aimed at achieving a defined goal while interacting with numerous stakeholders with different expectations and responsibilities. We support entrepreneurs throughout this intricate process, ensuring real control over the project.
