After nearly two and a half years of activity of this innovative international consulting engineering initiative, it was felt that the successes of First Q and of the companies that form it ought to be shared and made more visible.

From the local character of individual companies we have generated, through First Q, an effective multi-national structure united by common corporate, professional and ethical values blended with a common vision. With this organization and our resources of over 450 professionals, we are now capable of articulating the individual capacities in each of the countries with the diversified needs of a much broader client base that seeks organizational flexibility, rapid cross-borders deployment and, above all, a rock-solid local knowledge.

We want to share with you our goals, our capabilities and our achievements. We invite you to explore the different links, where you'll find many interesting projects spanning different countries in Europe. We trust that the information contained in First Q News will be of use and of interest to you, whether you are a developer, an owner, a user, an architect or a colleague.

We expect to publish it three times this year and will include in each issue not only information about First Q's projects and activities but also about each of the companies that make up our organisation. We hope to capture your interest and to count you, from now on, among our faithful and participative readers!
