Politecnica is one of the top Italian firms providing integrated service in architecture, engineering and urban planning. It is independent and fully controlled by its 40 cooperative associates, mainly engineers and architects, who have worked on projects in over 50 countries worldwide.
Politecnica has 5 offices in Italy – Modena, Milan, Bologna, Florence, Catania – and has consolidated its presence abroad in 10 countries (Armenia, Belize, Malta, Democratic Republic of Congo, Sierra Leone, Turkey, Ethiopia, Kenya and Panama).
Politecnica has developed projects in every field, public and private, for education and healthcare, industry, services, infrastructures and – with the international division – has constructed civil works and infrastructures in many developing countries within the Projects funded by International Donors.
There are mainly two strengths. First, the integration of different competencies – from plant systems to urban planning, from structural design to architectural design – thanks to the teamwork and the complementarity of professionals inside the firm: almost 200 people, including designers, planners, consultants and specialized technicians. Second, the firm is characterized by the project management, the management capacity in developing the project, managing its complexity and realization according to the client’s needs, while providing overall cost- and resource efficiency.
Politecnica is certified ISO 9001 and ISO 14001, is a member of the Green Building Council (GBC) Italy and promotes the best practices of environmental sustainability in all its activities.
Approach:
Today’s complexity can be faced only by catching the overall picture, integrating every aspect of the project, the technologies, and the teams from design to construction.
That is why they work in team, and they develop projects with a multidisciplinary approach with engineers, architects and professional technicians.
They manage to resolve every issue for the project implementation, not only because they have integrated skills inside the firm, but also because they know how to work in team.
That’s always true, to win their clients’ challenges.
Their culture comes from the cooperative world and their work is still inspired by the values of responsibility and solidarity. Responsibility towards the clients, towards who is going to use their Projects, towards the territory, towards the planet. Solidarity meant as across-the-board: is humanismwith which they came into being, between partners, between employees and us, the clients, the stakeholders; their work is always humans-focused, in every project, in every realization.
They came into being in a technical culture, in a district where schools, Universities, business activities have spread (and keep on spreading) ideas and the value of design. The culture of the Project is at the heart of Politecnica.
They have fostered it internally and applied it to their work, in every sector, by adding international experiences and introducing new technologies.
All this has been possible also thanks to their independency – a choice and a way of being reflected in their way of interpreting the project.
For over 40 years, they have been putting their freedom at the service of their clients.
