Saint-Gobain project manager’s testimonial
Mina Milinovic Balac
Cooperation with many team members, representatives of Investor, General Contractor, Installers, etc. was complicated enough, so there were months when I thought that Sava Center is my only project, neglecting all other project that I was involved in, at that time.
Diversity of common spaces with different facility connections showed us that gypsum solutions can provide rich and diverse shapes, obtaining aesthetic yet technical acceptable solutions.
