He first worked as a Project Manager at the multidisciplinary architectural firm ELD in Antwerp. During that period he earned a Master degree in Construction Management.
To keep abreast of the constant evolution in the EPB legislation and to integrate the results thereof into the development of our projects, Jan recently successfully completed the ´Energy-Conscious Contractor´ course.

He will be doing his thesis within the framework of the Groep Bouwen commitment in Peru (read Groep Bouwen in the world).
