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:
“There can be no defence like elaborate courtesy.”
—E.V. (Edward Verrall)
“When the leaders choose to make themselves bidders at an auction of popularity, their talents, in the construction of the state, will be of no service. They will become flatterers instead of legislators; the instruments, not the guides, of the people.”
—Edmund Burke (1729–1797)
“His character as one of the fathers of the English language would alone make his works important, even those which have little poetical merit. He was as simple as Wordsworth in preferring his homely but vigorous Saxon tongue, when it was neglected by the court, and had not yet attained to the dignity of a literature, and rendered a similar service to his country to that which Dante rendered to Italy.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
