Aresta Engenharia

Aresta Engenharia designs, manages and carries out engineering and construction projects. Its specialities are bio-construction, urban rehabilitation and building with natural materials and low-environmental-impact technologies. Founded in 2019, it's part of the ASTERISK GROUP and works both in Portugal and internationally. The team is made up of qualified engineers, architects and specialised technicians with solid experience in project management, coordination and site supervision, ensuring projects are delivered on time. The company promotes efficient, sustainable building practices adapted to the current challenges of the construction sector. Its core service areas include bio-construction, civil engineering and BIM, civil construction, and consultancy and supervision. For surveying and construction monitoring, Aresta uses GNSS, drones and laser scanning. To visualise projects, it works with 3D modelling and immersive digital experiences. Its projects include the Avelino Carolino Urbanisation, where materials were chosen for durability, sustainability and the comfort of residents. In Montalegre, an urban rehabilitation project restored the facades and roofing of a multi-family building. ETICS thermal insulation systems and asphalt waterproofing membranes were used there to resolve infiltration problems and improve energy efficiency. The company also runs a blog. It covers hemp-based eco-blocks, seismic vulnerability assessments and sustainability certifications such as BREEAM, LEED, WELL and EPD (Environmental Product Declaration).
