Andrea Bevacqua

Project Manager – Carpentry Division

How would you describe your role and what significance do you attribute to project management in carpentry?


My role represents the final stage of the production process: the phase where the project takes physical shape on site. I step in when the idea becomes a design, the design becomes a construction site, and every detail demands attention, precision, and decision-making ability.
I see myself as the operational coordinator of the project: I manage schedules, resources, and people to ensure that each phase proceeds efficiently, safely, and in line with the company’s quality standards. I supervise installation teams and subcontractors, ensuring deadlines are met and any critical issues are resolved promptly.
I am the company’s representative on-site: the voice that communicates with the client, the guide for the work teams, and the guarantor of quality and project success.
Every site is a unique challenge, and my task is to turn it into a tangible result that highlights the work of everyone involved in the process.
I carry out this role with passion, expertise, and a strong sense of responsibility toward the company and its clients.

What aspects of your job do you find most stimulating and what motivates you the most in project management?


The most stimulating aspect of my work is the opportunity to oversee and accompany each project through its transformation—from the initial idea to its physical realization on site. Seeing a project take shape, moving from drawings to reality, is a constant source of motivation and satisfaction.
Additionally, I take pride in being a point of reference within the operational process. Knowing I can offer support during critical moments, address and solve problems quickly, and be a reliable contact for colleagues and collaborators makes my job dynamic and engaging.
Listening, understanding on-site needs, and translating them into concrete actions is not just an operational responsibility but a central part of my professional identity.

Following a project from the workshop to the construction site involves constant interaction with clients and suppliers. What value do you place on the relationships built during this process?


I place great value on the relationships built throughout a project. Daily contact with a wide range of stakeholders—from installation teams and technicians to architects and clients—is one of the most enriching aspects of my work.
Each day brings different situations and new challenges, fostering a continuous dialogue that encourages both professional and personal growth. Every site tells a story of dialogue, collaboration, and, at times, tension or divergence.
But it is precisely from these interactions that something greater emerges: a relationship built on trust, mutual respect, and often shared recognition of the value of the work accomplished together. This network of human and professional relationships is what makes each project unique and meaningful.

Among the projects you’ve managed, is there one you consider particularly significant and representative of your work?


My first construction site is undoubtedly one of the most significant and formative projects of my career. An experience I can compare, in terms of involvement and determination, to a young driver’s first race on a new and challenging circuit.
It was the Croglio Castelrotto project: my first complete assignment, managed independently from the initial phase to final delivery. A true “turnkey” project, where every stage presented a new curve to navigate and an opportunity to learn.
The context was new, complex, and full of unforeseen challenges, making it incredibly stimulating. Successfully completing that project was not only a major professional achievement but also confirmation of my capabilities in operational management and site coordination at all stages.

How important do you consider the ability to listen and find solutions that meet quality standards and customer expectations in your role?


I believe the ability to listen and find solutions is a fundamental aspect of my role. It means being able to connect with the client and fully understand their needs, expectations, and vision.
This level of understanding builds a relationship of trust, allowing the project to move in the right direction while ensuring quality and attention to detail. Finding solutions is not just a technical task but a human one: it involves valuing everyone’s contribution and translating client requests into concrete and satisfying results.
After all, a house is not just a product—it’s a personal project, often the dream of a lifetime. And this awareness is what guides my daily work.

Looking ahead, what aspects of carpentry work do you think should be developed or improved in the coming years?


Looking to the future, I believe it’s essential to invest in skill development, both on a personal level and at the company level. In particular, I feel the need to enhance my abilities with digital tools: design software, modeling programs, and technologies that enable increasingly precise and real-time planning.
At the same time, I consider it important to deepen my knowledge of construction techniques, especially structural ones. Carpentry is constantly evolving and requires continuous updates, flexibility, and close collaboration with designers.
I firmly believe in a true prefabrication approach: solutions thoroughly planned, quick to install, and ready from the start. It’s a challenge that requires vision, expertise, and the ability to anticipate market needs. It’s a growth path I want to contribute to actively.

What result or professional experience do you consider the most significant in your role so far?


The most significant professional experience has undoubtedly been the Ascona Ice Rink project. It was a completely new challenge for me, characterized by heavy carpentry in wood and steel, with dynamics and techniques very different from those I had previously encountered.
It was a complex project, both technically and organizationally, and for this reason, extremely educational. I had to acquire new skills quickly, adapt to new situations, and often find immediate solutions.
We worked with specialized equipment and handled complex operations and logistical challenges. Every phase of the project required attention, coordination, and continuous problem-solving abilities.
The final result brought great personal and professional satisfaction. It confirmed my ability to face new and complex challenges, step outside my comfort zone, and truly grow in my role.
But most importantly, it was a team success. Looking back, it’s clear that no one achieves such results alone. Every colleague and person involved in the project made a decisive contribution through commitment, dialogue, and constant support.
To all of them, I extend my sincere thanks: this achievement belongs to everyone.
