Lieselot became an architect at St-Lucas in Ghent in 2003. She has been a BB'er since 2006 and is part of Team Architecture (private sector Flanders).

Dana became an ir. arch. at KU Leuven in 2008. Between 2011 and 2015, she worked for ECTV architects. Since 2015, Dana has been a BB'er. She is part of Team Architecture (LakeSide, pop-up).

Elien became an ir. arch. at Ghent University in 2012, majoring in Urban Design and Architecture. Since 2015, she has been a BB'er and is part of Team Architecture (private sector East and West Flanders)

Every project is a unique collaboration between many different parties. Getting and keeping all those noses in the same direction without losing her focus and calling attention to the technical and architectural interests is the challenge that comes with the job. Elien does not mince her words. Coming up with a good compromise at the right time gives her confidence in an outcome that benefits the project. Focus, in other words. What also appeals to Elien is being able to provide answers to all parties around the table, both at the very first question of a client with a dream and at the final delivery point of a realised project.

Arno became an ir. arch. at Ghent University in 2009. For three years he was there as scientific collaborator for the TETRA project Building with glass and adhesives. Since 2014, Arno has been a BB'er and is part of Team Renovation, Restoration & Maintenance.

For Arno, the meaning in his job is in what he calls detective work: (under)investigating the cause of defects in a building, discovering what makes a building special and finding a possible improvement to it, energetically or technically. Once the investigation is over, he makes it a point of honor to subtly but firmly convince the client to implement the technical solution we came up with. How he does that is our best kept secret.

Raf became an architect at Sint-Lucas in 1995. In 2012, Raf became a BB'er. During his tenure as BB'er, he emerged as façade consultant and building detail expert and, together with some colleagues, founded Team Knowledge Innovation & Technology, the technical conscience of BB. Raf is also practice assistant Architectural Design and Building Detail at UGent and sits on several committees of Buildwise.

Raf thrives best when he can work with enthusiastic and sympathetic professionals, both inside and outside Bureau Bouwtechniek. His heart beats faster with technical challenges that contribute to a more sustainable future, more robust constructions and a better quality of life. He believes in reassessing existing structures and always looks for the best solutions for the most relevant criteria. He goes completely loco when his advice has given a colleague or client an aha moment.

Jonah became an architect at Ghent University in 2012, majoring in architectural design and building technology. Since 2013, he has been entitled to call himself an EPB expert. Jona became part of the BB Team Sustainability, Energy & Comfort in 2016.

Jona picked up the sustainable building microbe during his student days. A passionate sustainability consultant, he proclaims his beliefs to team members and building owners. Human- and environment-friendly construction, building maintenance and circular construction he preaches from the rooftops. Jonah coordinates research projects and makes it a point of honour to share the knowledge acquired. Because sharing is ... and everyone benefits from knowing how we can have more impact on building in the future.

Julie became a structural engineer at the De Nayer Institute in 2008. She added a Master's degree in Urban and Spatial Planning at Artesis University College in 2010. Since 2013, Julie has been part of Team Computer Aided Design & BIM.

Julie enjoys sinking her teeth into challenging project work. She really enjoys using a BIM model to support the realisation of often complicated projects. She also enjoys turning frustrations into process optimisations and looking for ways to work correctly and efficiently together with her colleagues. If she can inspire and guide her colleagues to work better together, her day has been great.

Marleen became a civil engineer-architect at UGent in 1995. Before becoming a BB'er in 2007, she worked as a project architect at awg architecten, among other things. Since 2014, Marleen has been the driving force behind Team Knowledge, Innovation & Technology.

For Marleen, a building project is either sustainable or it is not. She uses all her knowledge and passion to shift as many stones as possible in this area. Totally loco she goes when she gets to philosophise about the longevity of the 'intelligent ruin'. Nor does she shy away from a vigorous debate on more recent challenges such as bio-based and carbon-neutral building. Closer to home, Marleen is still loyal to her first love: guiding her colleagues through the forest of building standards or pointing them in the right direction when faced with a complex construction-technical issue. Lucky to have her.
