“I love to work on buildings that make a difference to the people using them or living close to them. At first glance, you might think these projects will never happen, because they are too difficult, too expensive, or not technically possible, but with the help of a large team of experts, and dedication to relationship management, anything is possible. There are no good projects without good clients.” - Maasland
