TESTMONIALS

João Amaral, Fazenda Girassol, Angola
“Nuno was fundamental for the overall project of Fazenda Girassol, being considered an essential starting point to begin activities. We started with the roads, which facilitated the construction of a low-maintenance internal network, which was extraordinary compared to the past. Next, we progressed with the dams to capture water, benefiting local life and water management for our productions. This project is highly recommended for those who wish to start with a solid foundation and well-structured plans for the future.”

Maria Helena Clason, Stª Catarina da Fonte do Bispo
“Nuno helped me create terraces on my sloped land above Santa Catarina Fonte de Bispo a few years ago. The terraces were designed with soft, curvy lines, making them very pleasing to the eye. Today, I have many fruit trees that are thriving. I even believe there is more water in the borehole because of the terraces. I am very happy with the work he did for me.”
