It is the technology of photovoltaics, the sustainability and the fast-moving development. I also enjoy the process of figuring out the client’s needs – and I love being up on roofs.

I am in a position to take on the most challenging assignments and bring them to a successful conclusion, because at Basler & Hofmann, I have access to a wide range of highly qualified specialists who are on hand to advise me at any time.
