A400: a story of growth, continued success and a vision for the future<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

A400 was founded on 31 August 1995 by three founders. More than friendship, what united them was commitment, a desire to learn and a shared vision for the future of engineering. Three decades on, we are one of the leading engineering consultancies in Portugal, with active operations in Portugal and Angola<\/a>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

We have turned challenges into opportunities and written our own chapter of innovation, developing the GPS (Synchronised Project Management) software and adopting the BIM methodology<\/a> early on. The creation of our R&D and Sustainability <\/a>departments strengthens our ability to anticipate the market and deliver integrated, responsible solutions.<\/p>

Every achievement reflects the joint work of our teams and the values<\/a> that define us. We continue to look ahead, underpinned by our working methodologies<\/a> and by the certifications that validate our rigour.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
