Tech/Engineering - Engineering (general) / real estate valuations
Italian term or phrase: Studio Tecnico di Ingegneria Civile
Term found in an Italian real estate valuation report.
I was thinking along the lines of:
"Civil Engineering Professional Firm (or: Office)"
Also, the Engineer who has carried out the valuation is listed as:
"Il Tecnico, Ing. xxx", and I am thinking that translating it as "The Technician" sound a bit too general.
Any suggestions about this too would be most welcome.
Thank you in anticipation, luke
