What OBERMEYER Group does

OBERMEYER Group is one of the largest independent German planning and engineering consultancies in the construction industry, founded in 1958 and headquartered at Hansastrasse 40, Munich. The firm delivers integrated multidisciplinary engineering and consulting services across the full project lifecycle—from concept, design, and tendering through construction management and commissioning—serving government agencies, municipalities, and large private corporations. Its service portfolio spans Design and Planning, Architecture, Project Management, Construction Management, BIM Coordination, Urban Design, Urban Transformation, Sustainability and Environmental Consulting, Energy Consulting, and Digital Solutions, organized across five markets: Cities, Environment, Infrastructure/Transportation, Buildings, and Energy.

The company's underlying technology is a BIM-based digital planning methodology, including a proprietary digital coordination environment that enables more than 100 designers across multiple locations to work simultaneously on a single 3D model of existing infrastructure for complex rail and metro projects. Specialized technical capabilities include TBM and NATM tunnel design, geotechnical evaluation, and sustainable building certification expertise (LEED, DGNB). The firm operates through wholly owned subsidiaries including Obermeyer Project Management GmbH, Obermeyer Infrastructure, and Obermeyer Helika, and is privately held under Obermeyer Holding GmbH with Managing Director Jens Ulrich.

OBERMEYER generates revenue through professional services fees on project-based engagements, secured primarily via competitive public tenders, engineering consortiums, and joint ventures. Active across Germany, Kuwait, China, Greece, the Czech Republic, the UAE, Slovakia, and Azerbaijan, signature engagements include the Riedbahn high-speed rail corridor refurbishment (joint venture with SPITZKE/LEONHARD WEISS, lead designer for over 70% of scope), Stuttgart 21, the SuedLink 700 km HVDC cable project for TenneT, Athens Metro Line 4, Brenner Nordzulauf, Kuwait International Airport, BMW Leipzig plant expansion, Covestro Campus, and the 718-bed Sheikh Tahnoon Bin Mohammed Medical City in Al Ain.
