2. Design & Build
Octatube is een combinatie van een technisch ontwerpbureau en een productiebedrijf en levert bijdrage
aan bouwprocessen als gespecialiseerde (onder)aannemer.
Projecten worden vaak vanaf ontwerp tot realisatie uitgevoerd.

3. Organisation
Het samenbundelen van ontwerpen, engineering, produceren en monteren in het zogenoemde ‘Design &
Build’ concept, levert één verantwoordelijke en aanspreekbare partij.
Dit werpt zeker bij onderdelen die zeer specialistisch, nieuw of experimenteel zijn, haar vruchten af voor
de klant.
