Message from the Director

With its activity focused on the area of Project Management and Technical Consultancy, G&O - Gestão de Obras ensures a personalised service through an experienced, skilled and rigorous team, based on quality certification and providing advice and support to developers.

In global terms, we direct our activity towards actions that mitigate the “halo of non-compliance”, with which society in general catalogues the field of Civil Construction. No project lasts without integrated and properly coordinated management, which is capable of performing an adequate market sounding, coordinating and supervising the implementation of the works and performing the subsequent monitoring of the responsibilities of the developer and contractor, throughout the guarantee period.

With the experience accumulated over the years, we base our activity on the following maxims:
• Providing credibility to the field of construction, removing the non-compliance "label";
• Valuing the acts of designing and building as an asset in future construction, in order to comply with the parameters of time, costs, quality and safety;
• Always developing actions with the mobilisation of the responsible culture of the parties involved in the construction process.

The quality of the work developed is based on the unconditional compliance with factors such as cost, time, quality and safety. These are achieved with the definition of the best strategies and lines of action, based on action planning and respective valuation, oriented towards the fulfilment of the objectives defined for each specific case.

With our headquarters in Lisbon, we develop our activities across mainland Portugal and the islands, having a variety of customers which include the banking sector, investment funds, municipalities, foreign investors and other private developers.

The diversity of actions with which we are confronted and the success obtained is also based on the trust we have in our partners and employees, in the functional and shared organisation of all information and in rigorous and secure data processing, supported by procedures and documentation inherent to the structure of the quality management service.

With the premise that all projects are different from each other, we interpret the needs of each of our customers on a daily basis, making available all of our vast professional experience and our means to achieve their goals.

Quality Policy

G&O - Gestão de Obras is a company certified by NP EN ISO 9001:2015 for the activity of providing Project Management services within the field of Civil Construction and Technical Consultancy.
‍
In a policy of continuous improvement, we use procedures duly adapted to the challenges posed in each project, as well as the legal requirements applicable to our activity.
‍
We encourage a strong performance from our employees and service providers, based on the implementation of the procedures of the Quality Manual, associated with continuous training and adequate supervision in terms of the performance required.

History

Founded in 1987 by a group of professionals from large companies with activities within the field of Project Management, G&O commenced its activity by getting involved in the Industry of Civil Construction and Public Works, Planning, Management of Civil Construction Works, Engineering Projects and Real Estate Brokerage.
‍
From 1987 to 2010, it focused on Project Management and carried out several works of a commercial, hospital and industrial nature, as well as undertakings linked to Real Estate Investment Funds.
‍
In 2010, G&O created a Technical Consultancy area as representatives of the Project Owner for dealing with city council and concessionaire proceedings, thus unblocking procedures until the normalisation of their licensing, be it for buildings or plots of land.
‍
In 2012, work for real estate investment management companies was given priority, with joint Project Management and Technical Consultancy actions, and this year G&O obtained the NP EN ISO 9001:2015 Certification for the Quality Management System.
‍
With the Quality Certification, G&O redefined the basic functions of its activity, focusing on Project Management and Technical Consultancy.

Based on the development and deepening of the procedures associated with Quality Certification, we promoted the creation of a networked computer system that allows access and sharing of management elements related to production, marketing, economy, supervision and human resources. This not only standardised the system and its use, but also enabled G&O's area of physical operations to be expanded throughout mainland Portugal and on Madeira.
‍
The system implemented evolved until 2018, with the extension of our intervention with customers associated with foreign investment.
‍
In 2019, with the experience accumulated and maintaining the core areas of Project Management and Technical Consultancy, we developed actions to respond to other needs, including foreign investment, managing to streamline actions in the fields of real estate appraisal, project implementation, support to economic analysis and sources of financing and fiscal framework.
‍
At the same time, and in order to achieve responsiveness and breadth, we organised commercial actions with specific entities and business areas such as:
• Student residences;
• Senior residences;
• Renewable Energy;
• Sustainable Construction.
