What are BIMS blocks?
When telling our clients about projects under construction in Turkey, we often mention BIMS blocks used in the construction of buildings. During the construction of our Palm Brandom project, BIMS building blocks are also used. Let's figure out what these blocks are and why they are so good.

Breakfast in Turkey is a whole ritual that reveals the culture and traditions of the country. It is called Serpme kahvaltı. Turkish breakfast can be described in two words variety and abundance.
