AM Planning Company For Technical Building Equipment

What AM Planning Company For Technical Building Equipment does

AM Planungsgesellschaft für technische Gebäudeausrüstung mbH is a privately held German engineering planning office specializing in technical building equipment (Technische Gebäudeausrüstung, TGA). Founded in 1995 in Idstein and now headquartered in Mannheim (Bachstraße 9, 68165), the firm delivers planning services across heating, cooling, ventilation, sanitation, MSR (measurement, control, and regulation)/building automation, and fire protection for both new construction and renovation projects. It serves a mix of public-sector clients — municipalities, schools, fire stations, daycare facilities — and private-sector clients including retail operators (Swarovski, Aldi), real estate developers (G58, Art-Invest), industrial firms, and religious institutions, primarily across the Rhine-Neckar metropolitan region, Baden-Württemberg, and Hessen.

The firm's core service portfolio is structured around the German HOAI fee schedule (Honorarordnung für Architekten- und Ingenieurleistungen), covering all nine Leistungsphasen (service phases 1–9) from project development through construction supervision. Technical specialization is delivered across five trades — Wärmeversorgung (heat supply including geothermal, CHP, solar thermal, heat pumps), Sanitär (sanitary installations including medical gas and water treatment), Lüftung (ventilation, HVAC, cleanroom technology), Kälte (refrigeration including absorption chillers and cooling ceilings), and Brandschutz (fire protection including sprinklers). Beyond standard HOAI scope, the firm offers "Besondere Leistungen" such as Technical Due Diligence, feasibility studies, requirements analysis, and maintenance planning. Documentation is produced using 3D CAD with a BIM interface, supported by modern technical calculation software for all trades.

The business model is project-based fee-for-service work governed by the HOAI fee schedule, with occasional Pauschalangebot (lump-sum) offerings and multi-year contract cadences. Distribution is exclusively direct: the firm's engineering and sales team engages clients without intermediaries, marketplaces, or resellers, and marketing relies on the company website (am-tga.de), project reference lists, and decades of direct client relationships rather than paid advertising. Ownership is concentrated in founder-managing director Alexander Müller; the company has no disclosed external investors, parent entities, subsidiaries, or M&A activity. With 55+ employees, 150+ completed projects, and 30+ long-term customers across 28+ years of continuous operation, the firm operates as a stable, owner-managed regional engineering practice.
