What Kullegaard does

Kullegaard A/S is a privately held Danish architectural and multi-disciplinary engineering consultancy headquartered in Holbæk, Denmark, founded in 1984 and operating with approximately 30 employees. The firm delivers architectural consulting, total advisory (totalrådgivning), landscape architecture, sustainability certification (DGNB, Swan labelling), fire safety advisory (BR18 classes 1, 2, and 2+), and Life Science/GMP-compliant facility consulting to clients across Denmark. Its core service offering spans the full project lifecycle from early programming and feasibility through detail design, construction management, and handover, with engagements structured as total advisory, partial advisory, or specialist sub-advisor roles.

The firm serves a diversified Danish client base across Life Science and pharmaceuticals (Novo Nordisk, Lundbeck, Novonesis, confidential biotech and pharma manufacturers), commercial real estate and corporate occupiers (TrackMan, KMD, Sparekassen Sjælland-Fyn, Strawberry Properties), residential developers and housing associations (VAB, Civica, AP Pension, Sophienberggruppen), and public institutions (Københavns Universitet, Bygningsstyrelsen, Holbæk Kommune). Notable projects include Villa Copenhagen (25,400 m² hotel transformation, Estate Media Project of the Year 2020 and MIPIM nomination), Holbæk Sportsby (22,500 m², 325M DKK, Sports Building of the Year 2020), and ongoing advisory on the University of Copenhagen's 416,000 m² Nørre Campus.

Kullegaard operates a sales-led, dialogue-based go-to-market centred on long-term client relationships, multi-year frame agreements (rammeaftaler), and house-architect engagements rather than transactional project acquisition. Revenue is generated through bespoke professional services fees negotiated per project or under frame agreements, with no standardised pricing, no proprietary software platform, and no disclosed revenue figures. Geographic scope is exclusively Denmark (Zealand, Capital Region, Funen, and Holbæk Municipality), and ownership appears to be founder/management-controlled with CEO Kasper Tranekær Kullegaard and founder Thomas Kullegaard (External Senior Consultant) listed in leadership.

Revenue model

1. Architectural and engineering consulting fees: Kullegaard generates revenue through project-based consulting fees for architectural, engineering, and specialised advisory services. Revenue is earned across the full project lifecycle — from early-stage advisory and programming, through design and detail projektering, to construction management, supervision, and handover. Fees are structured as total advisory (totalrådgivning), partial advisory, or specialist sub-advisory depending on the client relationship. Repeat frame agreements (rammeaftaler) with long-term clients such as pharmaceutical companies, public institutions, and housing associations provide recurring engagement opportunities. The firm also acts as house architect (husarkitekt) for select clients on an ongoing basis.
