Thank you for Subscribing to Construction Business Review Weekly Brief
Leonardo Gori, Partner and General Director International OfficesFollowing is the conversation that Construction Business Review had with Leonardo Gori, the Partner and General Director of International Offices at ESA engineering.
What are the main factors of the company’s success?
By integrating all the disciplines and skills necessary to complete the projects, the company is a reference point for private users, retailers, real estate, hotel industry and institutions in need of consultancy in engineering, architecture, and environmental sustainability. Today, construction requires higher standards of innovation, sustainability, and adaptability, integrating avant-garde and cutting-edge technologies that are user-friendly. The challenge in the built design is to provide ideal solutions that can be adapted in real-time to technological developments and the needs of modern living. Thanks to our experience and multidisciplinary expertise, a staff of about 300 professionals, ESA engineering represents an absolute protagonist in the national and international panorama of building design.
The integrated approach to design is the key to ensuring that each project is managed and considered within a complete framework. Thanks to the study of customized solutions, we are capable of responding to the specific needs of each intervention.
Engineering by Practise, Management by People, Sustainability by Passion
A highly qualified team of Project Management is the core of our organization, providing flexibility to our structure; combined with the open mindset of our multi-cultural staff, we are able to offer assistance and direct the client towards the most suitable solutions, solving complex problems and developing unique and effective solutions.
ESA engineering’s ability to tailor bespoke solutions, combining a distinctive blend of customization and the latest technical expertise, especially in the private sector, has resulted in over 70-80 percent of built works in our portfolio, expanding our learning curve and practical on-site know-how/knowledge.
We work today for future generations
Finally, we are proud to look to ESA as a laboratory of ideas projected toward the future.
Our internal department dedicated to Energy, Research, and Development promote the advent of new techniques and software, keeping up to date with the latest technological, cultural, and social changes.
The operation started with only a few employees on board. Through this small team, we have developed a culture of teamwork that allows us to combine quality and expertise and become professionals in what we do to deliver optimum services to our clients. ESA Middle East growth was significant, let’s say, “by mistakes,” during these initial stages, with the spirit of leadership that has been instilled in every employee, combined with the knowledge and exposure both in the local and international market, we thrived and saw an equal continued growth and greater demand in our services over the years.
How do you combine excellence and environmental sustainability?
From years of experience in the field, we know how to add value to each project, setting the benchmark with our quality approach. We are convinced that the use of a methodology aimed at sustainability is part of this value. We support a Zero Waste design.
We are proud to offer innovative services in line with the latest requirements on energy consumption and reduction of emissions. We work with the customer to identify the best opportunities in terms of optimization of existing resources, energy savings, and cost control. We are proud to enhance our new project with an “Italian touch,” synonymous with quality and passion.
Italian touch & international vocation. What are the prospects?
The trend of recent years has strengthened ESA engineering’s international presence. After ten years of experience in the design of retail & corporate buildings in Switzerland and Turkey, ESA engineering has inaugurated a new office in Geneva and a new partnership in Istanbul. Let’s not forget the well-established foreign subsidiaries (ESA Middle East, ESA France, ESA engineering UK).
ESA Middle East was established in the year 2012, with the objective to offer fully integrated services to clients within the Middle East Region.
By integrating all the disciplines and skills necessary to complete the projects, the company is a reference point for private users, retailers, real estate, hotel industry and institutions in need of consultancy in engineering, architecture, and environmental sustainability
