Connecting the startup nation to the world of design
Nowadays, technological developments and innovations allow us, more than ever, to make the construction planning process smarter and more efficient in order to maximize project value. Our need to anticipate events or obstacles before the detailed design stage, brought about the Maestro system, developed by WAWA’s tech team. Maestro is an advanced real-time simulation system that enables the examination of design and planning in light of environmental and structural conditions, such as soil characteristics, wind movement, natural lighting, shading, access to views and landscapes, and many other parameters.
Maestro employs the forefront of technology to guarantee elegant solutions for efficient planning and a significant reduction in building and operation costs. While The objective is: to ensure a unique building design, meeting the original schedules, energy efficient, well- being environment and not less important – being economically efficient.
