Building s.r.o. was set up in February 1992 as a design and engineering
office. The firm focuses on designing office and residential buildings
and public facilities at all stages, provides engineering services and a
supervision of construction execution. Reinforced concrete constructions
are our main specialization. We also collaborate with other architectural
studios.
Building s.r.o. is a certified quality management system holder according
to EN ISO 9001. Our vision is to provide modern buildings according to
the latest knowledge in building design.

Construction Period 12/2013 - 06/2015
The office building Aviatica represents the first development of a new city
district. It has two basements measuring 180 x 84 m and from 4 to 9 stories.
The structural system consists of a main reinforced concrete skeleton,
steel trusses and thin concrete slabs on cantilevered roof extensions, load
bearing roof grid and concrete prestressed truss supporting the entrance
arch part. The basement next to the Metro is vibro-insulated. Foundations
have been drilled using large-diameter piles. The building has an interesting
rounded shape, as almost only the elevator shafts are rectangular.
The Aviatica project is the first partial application of BIM in our company.
The 3D model in SCIA Engineer was used for modelling and calculating,
and formworks and reinforcements were drawn in Allplan. The general IFC
format was used for data transfer. The prestressing was implemented with
external loads. Vibro-insulation was applied as two slabs connected with a
dense field of short columns.
Many structural engineering tasks are concentrated in this one project,
from prestressing and vibro-insulation to column transfers. An engineer
is only able to meet all the requirements by processing a lot of individual
projects. The investor wanted to have not only an interesting building, but
also a modern project design using BIM with the advantage of further use
for client requirements and building maintenance.
