Building Excellence Since 1990
With more than 30 years of experience, Širbegović has grown from a local architectural firm into one of the leading construction companies in the region. Since 1995, we have proudly operated as Širbegović Construction Holding Company, shaping skylines and delivering projects that stand the test of time.
Our journey of growth began in 2001 with expansion into Serbia, Croatia, and Slovenia. Today, we operate across Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Serbia, Montenegro, Austria, and Germany, completing over 6,000 projects and building more than 11 million m² of space.
What sets us apart is our commitment to:
- Speed – delivering projects within the shortest possible time
- Efficiency – ensuring cost-effective solutions
- Quality – maintaining the highest construction standards
Backed by a skilled team, innovative technologies, and continuous investment in development, we provide clients with more than just buildings — we create spaces for success.

At Širbegović, our strengths lie in quality, speed, strict adherence to deadlines, and comprehensive turnkey solutions — key advantages that set us apart in the construction industry.
With installed production capacities enabling the construction of up to 800,000 m² of facilities annually, we are fully equipped to meet the needs of even the most demanding clients.
Product Range
Our production program includes prestressed hollow-core slabs (PPS) with thicknesses of 20, 26.5, 30, 35, 40, 45, and 50 cm, designed for live loads from 2 to 20 kN/m² and with fire resistance of REI 60 minutes.
Globally, over 25 million tons of PPS are produced each year — a testament to their efficiency and versatility.
Prestressed Hollow-Core Slabs (PPS)
Prefabricated structural elements with continuous internal voids that reduce weight while ensuring an efficient load-bearing cross-section. A unique product, suitable for diverse applications, offering exceptional value for investment.
Key Advantages:
Lightweight Construction
PPS elements are 37–54% lighter than conventional solid slabs.
Long Spans
Capable of spanning up to 19 meters without intermediate supports.
Versatile Application
Compatible not only with reinforced concrete structures, but also with masonry and steel-frame buildings.
Material Savings
Up to 50% savings in concrete and reinforcement steel compared to traditional slabs.
👉 For example, in a 1,000 m² project, this means 35 tons of concrete and 7.5 tons of reinforcement steel saved.
Sustainable Building
With the same amount of material, labor, and energy, you can produce 1 m² of a traditional slab or 2.5 m² of PPS — making PPS a true solution for green construction.
Advantages of Prestressed Hollow-Core Slabs (PPS)
Fast Delivery & Installation
Factory production in controlled cycles ensures short production times. Expert assembly teams guarantee quick, precise, and error-free installation.
Resistance & Durability
Optimized positioning of reinforcement and protective concrete layers provides high resistance to external and chemical influences.
Year-Round Construction
PPS allows efficient and continuous building throughout the entire year.
Cost-Effectiveness
Excellent material efficiency and long spans reduce the need for supporting elements, lowering overall material use and construction costs.
Quality Control
All elements are tested immediately after production. Concrete samples are verified by the Institute for Material Testing in Tuzla, and Širbegović has its own in-house quality control sector.
Design Flexibility
Wide possibilities for designing and constructing buildings of various purposes — without architectural limitations.
Eco-Friendly
Prefabricated construction protects the environment: no wooden formwork is needed, reducing deforestation and minimizing pollution.
Seismic Safety
Proven excellent performance of prefabricated structures during seismic events.
Fire Protection
Protective reinforcement layers provide reliable fire resistance.
Lower Costs
Savings in formwork, materials, transport, and assembly make prefabricated construction significantly more affordable than traditional methods.
Aesthetics
This system supports creative architectural freedom and modern design solutions.
Design & Engineering
Thanks to our team of young and creative experts, we transform ideas into reality — quickly, safely, and efficiently.
The Širbegović Engineering Design Bureau offers complete design services, including:
- Conceptual and main design projects
- Interior design and as-built documentation
- All project phases, from initial idea to final realization
Our multidisciplinary team consists of architects, civil engineers, mechanical engineers, electrical engineers, hydraulic engineers, traffic engineers, and technicians all working together to bring projects to life, often within very short deadlines.
Using the latest hardware and software, our designers create conceptual solutions, main and detailed designs, as well as 3D visualizations of buildings.
Through continuous training, participation in industry fairs, and design competitions, our engineers explore both prefabricated and traditional construction methods, always discovering new ways to apply innovation and creativity.
