The firm has a subsidiary outsourcing facility (Outsource Architectural Services [1]) providing services to Construction-industry firms worldwide.

For several years Mr. de Tezanos held a teaching position in "Architecture and Technology" at his college Alma Mater, Instituto Crandon, in Montevideo. In several occasions, he has been invited lecturer at the e-business program at Universidad ORT, Uruguay.
