The Real Estate Resources Administration is also in charge of carrying out the Board of Directors' decisions regarding investments in terms of new buildings and fitting premises. In this respect, it deals with the invitation to tender applications, and is the technical contact of the Creators of the projects and firms in charge of the studies and work. It contributes to the urban layout of the Sart Tilman estate. It is also in charge of managing the various real estate operations (purchases, sales, rentals,...), develops invitations to tender and energy supply agreements (gas, fuel,...) and ensures the water supply and the evacuation of waste water and rubbish in accordance with the standards in force.
