What BPR Dr. Schapertons Consult does

BPR Dr. Schäpertöns Consult is a German engineering consultancy (Ingenieurbüro) founded in 2005 and headquartered in Munich, operating as a general planner (Generalplaner) for large-scale infrastructure and building projects. The firm provides multidisciplinary engineering and planning services across four core service areas: structural engineering (Hochbau/Tragwerksplanung), transportation infrastructure (Verkehr), environmental and water engineering (Umwelt und Wasser), and project management. With approximately 220 employees across 15 German offices, BPR delivers services spanning all HOAI Leistungsphasen 1-9, from preliminary concept through construction supervision.

The firm's core technology stack centers on BIM (Building Information Modeling) methodology applied to traffic facility and railway station planning, alongside specialized railway technical equipment expertise including overhead line systems (Oberleitungsanlagen), 50Hz power supply, telecommunications (TK), and control/safety systems (LST/Leit- und Sicherungstechnik). BPR also holds certified canal rehabilitation consulting credentials and provides project management on the client side. The company operates within the German GmbH & Co. KG legal structure with no parent company, public listing, or institutional investment disclosed.

BPR generates revenue through fee-based engineering and planning service contracts governed by HOAI fee schedules or negotiated terms. Revenue is project-based and secured primarily through public procurement processes, competitive tendering, and direct commission. The client base is concentrated in German public sector entities — Deutsche Bahn AG subsidiaries (DB Netz AG, DB Fernverkehr AG, DB InfraGO AG, DB Station&Service AG), state construction authorities (Staatliche Bauämter), municipalities (Stadt Siegen, Stadt Regensburg), and enterprise clients including Versicherungskammer Bayern, Volksbank-Raiffeisenbank Oberbayern Südost, and Südwestdeutsche Salzwerke AG. Typical project scales range from single-digit million EUR municipal redevelopments to €35 million railway stabling facilities, with BPR's fees representing a percentage of overall project value.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves1 record

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• DB Engineering & Consulting (DB E&C): In-house engineering arm of Deutsche Bahn providing planning, design, and project management services across rail infrastructure. Both a customer of and competitor to BPR in the German rail planning market, with privileged access to DB mandates.
• Sweco GmbH (Germany): Subsidiary of the large Nordic engineering group Sweco, providing multidisciplinary planning services in Germany. Competes in transportation, water/environment, and structural engineering with broader international backing than BPR.
• Obermeyer Ingenieure GmbH: Larger German engineering group with broad portfolio spanning transportation, buildings, environment, and energy. Offers overlapping railway and structural planning services but operates at significantly greater scale and geographic reach than BPR, serving as a broader incumbent competitor.
• Arcadis Germany (formerly Hyder / WBP / Callaghan): German arm of global design and engineering consultancy Arcadis, offering transportation, buildings, and environmental planning services. Overlaps with BPR's railway and structural practices but with much larger corporate backing and international footprint.

Direct peers

• Emch+Berger Gruppe: Swiss-German engineering consultancy providing railway, structural, and traffic infrastructure planning services. Competes directly with BPR in Germany on rail and general-planning mandates with similar HOAI-aligned delivery model.
• Ingenieurbüro Grassl GmbH: German engineering firm specializing in bridge, structural, and transportation infrastructure planning. Highly comparable technical profile with BPR's Tragwerksplanung and bridge design services, serving similar public-sector clients.
• Schüßler-Plan Ingenieurgesellschaft: German engineering consultancy with comparable multidisciplinary general-planning services across railway, structural, and transportation infrastructure. Directly competes for the same Deutsche Bahn, state construction authority, and municipal mandates with overlapping service lines in BIM-enabled planning and HOAI-based delivery.
• KREBS+KIEFER Ingenieure GmbH: Mid-sized German engineering consultancy offering multidisciplinary services in structural, transportation, and environmental engineering. Comparable in size and scope to BPR with similar HOAI-based fee model and public-sector client base.
• Vössing Ingenieurgesellschaft: Specialist German engineering firm focused on railway, road, and bridge infrastructure planning. Vössing's deep rail expertise and Deutsche Bahn project portfolio make it one of the closest direct competitors to BPR in transportation and traffic engineering consulting.

Emerging players

• Ingenieurgesellschaft mbH IGS (Stuttgart): German engineering consultancy active in railway, traffic, and structural planning. Smaller in scale than BPR but competes for similar public-sector tenders with overlapping HOAI service portfolio.
