One technical design office (BET) is a private or public company made up of technicians and engineers, whose role is to carry out studies to guide and confirm the technical and structural choices of a project.
Specifically, their mission consists of:
- make recommendations based on calculations and analyzes
- propose technical solutions for carrying out the work
