At the end of 2005, the company I worked for at that time started designing a new Budimex investment: a block of flats on Jana Olbrachta Street in Warsaw.
After submitting the best bid in the tender, my company won the architectural concept for this building and signed the contract for the full realization of this investment. Because of this, I learned the investment process in the building business, from the architectural sketch through development conditions, building design, and obtaining building permission. In the next stage, we prepared execution designs for the architectural and structural parts and coordinated the utilities design.
The designed building consists of six stories, with apartments and commercial premises on the ground floor, totaling at least GLA = 18,500 m2.
After construction was finished, the building received the prestigious third-place award in the “Construction of the Year 2007 in Poland” contest, recognizing our company’s effort.
Shortly after that, in 2007, I decided to move from Poland to Ireland to continue my career on a global stage.
