Aksa

What Aksa does

Aksa d.o.o. is a privately held architecture and engineering design bureau (projektantski biro) founded in 1989 in Zenica, Bosnia and Herzegovina, by architect Zvjezdan Turkić. The firm delivers four integrated core services: Designing (architectural and structural engineering across conceptual, preliminary, main, detailed, as-built, rehabilitation, restoration, and interior design for reinforced concrete, steel, and wooden structures), Construction Works Supervision (under domestic, FIDIC, and PRAG procedures), specialized Facade Engineering (point-cloud-driven 2D/3D shop drawings, CNC-ready sketches, and quantity estimation for Alucobond, Trespa, Prodema, and insulated cladding panels), and Project Management (consulting, permitting, and coordination from concept through handover). Technology is built on industry-standard CAD/BIM tools (AutoCAD, REVIT, ArmCad, Tower) rather than proprietary platforms.

Aksa operates a sales-led, project-based professional services model generating revenue through design and supervision fees from public institutions, international organizations, and private investors. Customer segments are weighted toward the BiH government and public sector (ministries of Security and Defense, the City of Zenica, the Football Association of BiH, the University of Sarajevo), supplemented by international organizations (European Commission, World Bank, EU Delegation) funding FIDIC/PRAG-compliant mandates, and a growing but narrow US presence in Tennessee, Pennsylvania, Florida, and Illinois serving healthcare and higher-education clients (VUMC Children's Hospital, Franklin & Marshall College, TN State Library).

The firm is founder-owned with no external investment, headquartered at Ul. Londža 128b PC Roma II, Zenica, with three dedicated departments (Architectural Design, Structural Engineering, Facade Engineering) staffed by a team of 17. Over 32 years of operation, Aksa has completed 41 projects of national importance, including the first Football Training Center of its kind in BiH, the B&H Arena (UEFA/FIFA Category IV-eligible), and the country's first Solar Carports installation under the Green City Action Plan.
