Defence Construction Service (Denmark)
Defence Construction Service (Danish: Forsvarets Bygningstjeneste), short just "FBT", is a Level.I authority, directly under the Danish Ministry of Defence.
It is the authority that handles all construction and building projects for all other authorities under the Danish Ministry of Defence. It does not actually do the building itself, but rather is the project manager and works out all the plans on how it should be done and who should do it.
The Construction Service is also responsible for such things as property assessments, selling and buying property, legal consultation, preservations, energy, environmental issues and much more.
The Service is split into several divisions and is housed in Viborg and Copenhagen. FBT also does projects for civilian companies and other ministries in the Danish government.

Famous quotes containing the words defence, construction and/or service:
“To choose a hardship for ourselves is our only defence against that hardship. This is what is meant by accepting suffering.... Those who, by their very nature, can suffer completely, utterly, have an advantage. That is how we can disarm the power of suffering, make it our own creation, our own choice; submit to it. A justification for suicide.”
—Cesare Pavese (1908–1950)
“No construction stiff working overtime takes more stress and straining than we did just to stay high.”
—Gus Van Sant, U.S. screenwriter and director, and Dan Yost. Bob Hughes (Matt Dillon)
“Let not the tie be mercenary, though the service is measured in money. Make yourself necessary to somebody. Do not make life hard to any.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
