SPACE MANAGEMENT

• HYBRID MODEL DEVELOPMENT
• -15 years ago - Good management of physical
  resources service
• / m2 operation
• / m2 construction
• Not involved in space Management
• 1. Restructuration space management transfer to
  our service
• 2. Strategic planning good opportunity-
  potential
• 3. Sustainability (reduce the waste) instead of
  building
