requires
between
integration
architects,
and
engineers,

1. How would you define the kit of parts? Does cepezed understand the concept as described in the introduction? Working with kits of parts is in the DNA of our office, it is our building methodology from the very beginning. The cepezed office was started in the 1970s by three students that decided to take on projects. Their main aim was to professionalize the building industry, making something valuable and of high quality. We believe we should keep the building process away from the building site as much as possible and prepare parts and segments in the factory as much as possible.
