Net-Zero Properties
We have worked on client projects across Greece in a variety of projects, including off-grid and net-zero properties.
Such projects involve special licensing and often we need to deal with different local challenges and bureaucratic procedures.
When a project - such as an off-grid construction - needs to be submitted to more than one public authority, we have the expertise and experience to efficiently manage the licensing process in a timely manner.
