BUILDING ENGINEERING
The engineering and design branch of Builders & Partners is made up of specialists with international careers, who have had the opportunity to experience what is involved in completing a design from the initial sketch phase right through to the construction design phase, on projects of all sizes and types.
To the prerequisites of quality, reliability, a commitment to sustainability as regards technical/engineering matters, the firm adds a “BIM Native” method, the fruit of the cumulative experience acquired by the Bim/Data Management Department of Builders & Partners since 2013.

TÉMOIGNAGES
DOMINIQUE JANASIK,
Director, Fluids and Electricity Engineering and Design Division
The intense synergy with the other departments in the Group allows our specialists in all trades and professions to tie their efforts in with a deep understanding of the challenges faced by all the other stakeholders, first and foremost our clients, whether they are developers, core investors or value-add investors.
That spirit of collaboration between the different divisions also makes it possible to anchor sustainable development and energy optimisation at the heart what we do.
NICOLAS TASLAUD,
Manager, Clash Detection Department
Above and beyond the work of clash detection of building services and architectural components led by us, the culture of clash detection within the Building & Partners group guarantees optimum risk management and control of the process of spatial coherence, from the due diligence audit and/or feasibility phase to the seamless completion of a construction project.
YANN BRUNEL,
Director, Building Envelope Department
A building consists of a structure and fluids within an exterior envelope, like the skin on a human body. Our skin can, in fact, adapt to the climate around us and projects our image to our peers. Building envelopes must draw inspiration from it.
The personalised services we provide for architects and stakeholders in real estate and construction in terms of building envelopes for new projects and renovations include audits, design and management of works, in cohesion with the other departments at Builders & Partners.
