    FEDERATION Welcome. The Federation functions in Greece are to ensure buildings are constructed to the highest performances rates. The Federation is constantly introducing new environmentally building products. to the markets especially in new technology building systems. All new building technologies are introduced under education programs to the industry with events around Greece.

  The Federations sole purpose is to establish a recognised form of professionals in the building industry under a skilled workforce trusted by pedigree. Within the workforce are bodies of specialist Architects, Engineers and Building Contractors. The Federations members are vetted to establish a members directory of highly skilled professional that is at our clients disposal. Having members covering a wide range of skills needed in the renovation and building of any type of property here in Greece provides a unique service. All undertaken by the Federation for a perfect home in Greece.

    ENGINEERS Structural engineers play one of the key elements to the strength in any building structure in Greece. The  fabric to any building is the foundations, along with the skeleton frame consisting of columns, beams that from the building heart. Anticistmic calculations are made to the building structures and this is where the engineers structural calculations are at there most importance. Any structure requires surveyors to plot the land  ready for the engineers calculations for the safety of the building.

  Investing in any building  needs the assurance not only for a personal investment but also for any mortgages that maybe required to secure a building project. In Greece within banking institutes building engineers investigate any building mortgage application. Confirming that the building structure has the durability to perform for the term of the loan. When renovating an old buildings the current structure may not comply to building regulation so a complete structural survey is recommended.

.

     The engineer's most important aspect of the building is to ensure that any new building project whether self build, off plan, renovation, or from a building plot, needs the assurances from a engineer or architects drawings and calculations. The local authorities can study the submitted building application to verify that the structure meets the current building regulations of Greece. The engineers must sign off the building thus guaranteeing that the building has been constructed to the specifications of the approved engineers of architects drawing. This forms the guarantee of the buildings. To this point the client should with the assistance of a lawyer fully understand the buildings warrantees, that need to be agreed at the time of the contracts signing. In the event that the building fails for any reason then the warranties given, endorsed by the building contractor through the engineers as their responsibility. This can also be the responsibility of the architect under the contract so the overall person or company responsible for the buildings performances must be fully established. Engineers fees can be negotiated.

  In all cases  where  building a new building or renovating a property always seek the advice of a fully qualified engineer. As new technology evolves so new building materials and techniques are being introduced. These new products especially steel framed buildings are more popular with thermal walls, the walls are part of the overall building structural calculation. The government has to approve these new systems integrated into the building. The government passes the innovations and then provides a certificate with guild lines to the local planning offices around Greece.
