Coprat

What Coprat does

Coprat Società Cooperativa is an Italian multidisciplinary architecture and engineering studio founded in 1976 in Mantova and structured as a member-owned cooperative with 17 professional partners (Soci) complemented by senior and junior collaborators across MEP, Architecture, Engineering, and Urban Planning. The firm offers an end-to-end project delivery model spanning six integrated service lines: architectural design (feasibility through executive design), MEP engineering, restoration, structural engineering, urban planning, and construction site management (including Direction of Works and safety coordination). Technical delivery is anchored in BIM methodology under a certified management system (UNI/PdR 74:2019 SGBIM), supplemented by research in NZEB and sustainable building design, with quality and compliance reinforced by ISO 9001 / IQNet and UNI/PdR 125:2022 gender equality certifications.

The firm operates through three regional offices — Mantova (HQ), Milano, and Verona — and serves a diversified client base across both public institutions (Politecnico di Milano, Soprintendenza Beni Archeologici della Lombardia, Comune di Lazise, EDISU Udine) and private developers and investors (EuroMilano SpA, Fondazione Enpam, AXA REIM / BNP Paribas Real Estate for Il Sole 24 ORE HQ, Fondazione Vidas, Acciaierie Arvedi SpA). Projects are acquired via competitive public tendering for government work and direct commercial engagement with private developers and institutions; pricing is project-based and not publicly disclosed.

Revenue mechanics follow a professional services fee-for-project model, with no software, SaaS, or platform revenue and no VC or PE funding in the corporate history. Co-development partnerships with established Italian and international firms (Antonio Citerio Patricia Viel, PARK Associati, Cino Zucchi, Mario Cucinella, Politecnica Ingegneria e Architettura, F&M Ingegneria) extend the firm's effective capacity on large-scale commissions while keeping the core partner base lean. Recognition in 2025 included a 1st Prize at the Poroton Award and a THE PLAN AWARD finalist selection, both tied to education-sector and sustainable-design projects.
