Engineering and Architecture — SESTRA

Engineering · Architecture · Since 1986

Engineering and Architecture at the service of society.

Civil works, hydraulics and architecture projects delivered with technical rigour, an integrated vision and a commitment to the viability of every intervention.

Who we are

At SESTRA we develop civil engineering and architecture projects with technical rigour, an integrated vision and a commitment to the viability of every intervention.

We work for public authorities, companies and private clients, supporting each project from the initial analysis and technical planning through to construction, site supervision and final follow-up.

From Gipuzkoa, we take part in local, national and international projects, adapting to the regulatory, functional, construction and economic constraints of each context. Our way of working combines technical solvency, multidisciplinary coordination and a close, responsible relationship with every client, developer and stakeholder.

Equipo técnico de SESTRA revisando planos

The SESTRA team brings together highly experienced professionals and technical staff specialised in different disciplines, allowing us to take on civil works, architecture, urban planning, hydraulic works and technical assistance projects with confidence. In every commission we look for precise, efficient and proportionate solutions, with attention to detail, schedule control and a commitment to quality.

We understand engineering and architecture as disciplines at the service of people, the territory and the proper functioning of infrastructure and built spaces. That is why we develop projects that not only solve technical needs but also deliver value, durability and long-term usefulness.
