This is an area where we want to play a leading role in the country, with an offer whose added value is the core focus on the client. We offer our services as general contractor for end-to-end project management, from planning to execution and transfer of the tax credit. At every stage, we guarantee quality of the highest level. Prelios Integra is the ideal partner, amplifying our ability to create value for each step, especially at national level.”
