LÜCHINGER MEYER PARTNER

What LÜCHINGER MEYER PARTNER does

Lüchinger Meyer Partner AG is a Swiss structural engineering and facade planning firm founded in 1994 and headquartered in Zurich, with offices in Lucerne, Lausanne, and Madrid. The firm provides integrated structural engineering, facade and lightweight-structure design, bridge engineering, preservation and refurbishment of historic structures, wind engineering via CFD analysis, parametric 3D modeling, BIM-based digital chain coordination, and second-opinion/third-party review services. It serves architects, public institutions (federal, cantonal, municipal), and real estate developers, with a project portfolio spanning construction values from CHF 0.2 million to CHF 178 million across Switzerland, Denmark, South Africa, Germany, France, Spain, the UK, and the USA. Notable projects include ETH Zurich's Arch_Tec_Lab (timber hybrid), Kistefos Museum's The Twist, Musée Atelier Audemars Piguet, Stade de la Tuilière in Lausanne, and the Pavillon Greenhouse at Copenhagen Opera Park.

The firm's revenue model is professional-services based, with project-specific fees for design phases, tender documentation, execution support, and expert advisory work. Go-to-market is sales-led and B2B: projects are acquired through architectural competitions, direct client engagements, and public procurement tenders, with repeat business driven by an established reputation, academic presence at ETH and EPFL, and an extensive award track record (Prix Acier, European Steel Bridge Award, Prix Lignum, Arc-Award BIM Gold, Architizer A+Awards, ArchDaily Building of the Year, SFE 2025 Sustainability Award). Differentiators cited include the integration of structural and facade engineering under one roof, expertise in complex geometries and timber construction, and digital design-to-production workflows.

The company operates as a privately held Swiss Aktiengesellschaft with no public listing, no disclosed parent company, and no external funding rounds on record. Leadership consists of an eight-member executive team (Geschäftsleitung), and headcount is reported at 51–100 employees. As of June 2026 the firm shows active hiring (8 open positions), an ongoing project pipeline including Neubau Klinikum 2 Universitätsspital Basel and Geschäftshaus Zollstrasse 20/36 Zürich, and current operations across all four offices.

• Werner Sobek AG: Stuttgart-based structural engineering and design firm focused on lightweight, sustainable, and high-performance structures. Comparable to LMP in integrated engineering design across steel, timber, and glass facades.
• Bollinger + Grohmann GmbH: Frankfurt-based structural engineering firm with offices across Europe. Directly comparable to LMP in facade engineering, complex geometries, and architect-led international projects.
• Pirmin Jung Ingenieure AG: Swiss timber engineering specialist that has collaborated with LMP on projects like Suurstoffi West. Directly comparable as a Switzerland-based structural engineering firm with timber and hybrid construction expertise.
• Hager Partner AG: Bern/Zurich-based engineering consultancy covering structural and geotechnical engineering. Directly comparable in the Swiss engineering services market for similar building and infrastructure typologies.

Broad incumbents

• Basler & Hofmann AG: Larger Swiss engineering group offering structural, civil, environmental, and safety services. Comparable to LMP in structural and facade services but with a broader portfolio, deeper headcount, and additional service lines.
• Arup Group: Global engineering consultancy with extensive structural and facade capability. Comparable in terms of project typologies (cultural, transport, sports) and award-winning portfolio, but operates at materially larger scale and geographic reach.

Regional players

• Ingenieurgruppe Bauen: German structural engineering firm with a comparable mid-size profile and focus on architect-led complex buildings. Comparable in project typology but primarily serves the German-speaking market.
