You'll provide training and support for EU+UK offices (mostly Vienna + Berlin) if small scale, in Croatia, for larger scale (Offices converting from CAD to Revit). There are also on-site possibilities at client's Offices.

Timeline might look like this:

Another possibility: You could be based on 3-4 Ha farm; ideal for a green thumb or someone going green; someone who wants to grow their own food. It is an idea, not a must.
