History

• NVE was founded on 23th July 1993

  It was in 1993 that NVE Engenharias, Lda was founded by its two managing partners, José Maria Oliveira Nogueira and José Vitorino Domingos Silva both graduated in Civil Engineering, conceiving, as their main strategy, the bet in the execution of engineering studies and projects, taking into account two duly substantiated assumptions: the low supply of the market, at the time of the foundation, and its vast and varied experience in the sector.

• Territorial expansion, Lisboa area

  The year of 2015 was marked by the expansion to the South zone, more specifically to the heart of Lisbon. The project that introduced the southern terrain was Edifício Miguel Lupi, a luxury rehabilitation that kept the constructive characteristics of the era intact, both on the exterior façades as in the interior, and was subjected to occasional changes that hardly affected it. The building's safety conditions were improved, through the restoration of the degraded areas and the structural reinforcement of the pavements and exterior walls, in a privileged location overlooking the Tagus river. This work would later become NVE's "business card" in Lisbon.
