We believe in a better world, which is why we work with the Green Building Council around the world to reduce the impact of buildings on the ecosystem.
Our commitment to the environment is reflected in every project, whether a new construction, a renovation or regeneration, ensuring minimal environmental impact.

Archest is the ideal partner for the development of sustainable projects from an environment and energy point of view. We handle the key processes of environmental certification through our qualified in-house experts and partners with whom we have established strong collaborative relationships.

Archest can offer:

• LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) modelling in the planning stage for the selection of construction materials;
• Dynamic modelling in the planning stage for the selection of the best solutions for interior comfort;
• Support throughout the process from concept to construction for the main energy certifications (LEED, BREEAM, WELL, ACTIVE HOUSE, etc.).

Drawing on its vast experience in the various planning stages, and the construction phase in particular, Archest can provide comprehensive technical support for tenders of any scope (+1 bn).
The great technical expertise of its multidisciplinary staff has enabled Archest to achieve an overall success rate in tenders of 38%.

Services offered by Archest include:

• technical coordination of the various activities;
• technical assessment of the tender project;

• production of videos or other materials necessary for presentations;
• risk assessment;
• definition of work schedule.

The aim of Construction Supervision (required by law in Italy for public works) is to ensure the works are carried out correctly in technical and economic terms, within the agreed timeframe. Construction supervision services consist of a specialised technical team including architects, engineers, and technicians qualified as planners in accordance with national legislation.
We carry out our activities both on site, for work supervision checks, and in office, for the necessary technical support.

We organise the management team based on the specific requirements of each individual project.

Archest can offer the following services:

• compliance of the construction with the plan;
• monitoring compliance with the works schedule;
• monitoring compliance with the budget;
• certification of progress of the works;
• management of any necessary plan variations;
• resolution of any technical issues emerging during construction.

Archest has gained considerable experience in Value Engineering: we are able to rework plans with the aim of reducing costs without jeopardising functional benefits. Drawing on decades of integrated planning services, our team of professionals is able to analyse and develop all the possible technical solutions in order to identify that which will optimise the construction process and the life cycle of the work, by:

• choosing the right materials;
• choosing the right technology for the project;
• selecting the most suitable products;
• defining the ideal operating procedures;
• defining the most correct planning choices.
