Redesco

What Redesco does

Redesco Progetti srl is an Italian structural engineering firm founded in 2008 as the successor to the original Redesco (Research-Design-Consulting) entity established in 1976 by Gian Carlo Giuliani. The firm provides end-to-end structural engineering services — from conceptual design through preliminary, definitive, and executive design, to construction supervision and independent verification — across buildings, high-rise towers, bridges, and special structures. It serves a B2B client base of real estate developers and investors (Citylife, COIMA, Reale Immobili), government and public authorities (Italian Ministry of Defense/Interior on the Montello Barracks, Università Cattolica and University of Milan on campus projects), enterprise anchor clients (Generali, PWC, BNL, ENI, SNAM), and architectural firms (Zaha Hadid Architects, BIG, Dominique Perrault Architecture, Beretta Associati, PIUARCH). Headquartered in Milan with offices in Como and Geneva, the firm operates across Italy, Switzerland, Spain, Algeria, Cyprus, and Belarus.

The firm's core technical offering is built around integrated BIM methodology, parametric design, FEM (Finite Element Method) analysis, and advanced computational modeling for complex geometry, seismic retrofitting, dynamic and aeroelastic analysis, and heritage/masonry structures. Technology is delivered in-house rather than as a packaged product — there is no software platform, API, or proprietary AI/ML product. BIM is coordinated by a dedicated department (led by Samuele Bianchi, ICMQ-certified BIM Coordinator), with staff skilled in parametric programming and code-based integration between analysis and graphic modeling software. Services are tailored per project, with no standardized pricing.

Commercially, Redesco follows a sales-led, project-based B2B professional services model. The firm pursues work through direct engagement with developers and public authorities, participation in public tenders, and design competitions (often as part of interdisciplinary consortia called Raggruppamenti Temporanei di Professionisti). Named flagship projects include the Generali Tower, PWC Tower, Citylife Shopping District, MiCo Congress Center, ENI Green Data Center Zephyr, CityWave Canopy with BIG, and the Montello Barracks transformation for the Italian State Police. The firm is privately held by three founding partners (Mauro Eugenio Giuliani, Gianluca Vesa, Fabio Capsoni) with no external investors, parents, or subsidiaries disclosed. Recent growth signals include expansion into industrial/high-tech (semiconductor manufacturing) and an increasing proportion of engineers joining from Politecnico di Milano.

Direct peers

• Expedition Engineering: London-based structural engineering consultancy working on complex and architecturally ambitious projects. Comparable to Redesco in size, focus on engineering excellence, and reliance on leading architectural collaborators.
• Harpaceas: Italian engineering and BIM consulting firm with structural engineering services for complex buildings and infrastructure. Comparable in the Italian market, particularly in BIM methodology and integrated design for architects and developers.
• Maffeis Engineering: Italian structural engineering firm specializing in bridges, tall buildings, and complex structures. Closest direct Italian peer to Redesco in market and project type, including competition-driven landmark commissions.
• Werner Sobek: Structural engineering and design firm known for lightweight, tall, and special structures with a strong research orientation. Highly comparable in domain specialization and in working with leading international architects.
• Studio Ingegneria Burocco: Italian structural engineering consultancy focused on bridges, buildings, and special structures. Comparable Italian peer with similar project mix and public-tender participation, competing for the same domestic mandates.
• Schlaich Bergermann Partner (SBP): German structural engineering firm specializing in bridges, lightweight structures, and special structures. Directly comparable to Redesco's special-structures and bridge practice, with similar emphasis on innovative geometry and dynamic analysis.
• AKT II: London-based structural engineering consultancy recognized for complex, architecturally driven projects and BIM-led delivery. Highly comparable to Redesco in project type (special structures, tall buildings, heritage) and in deep architectural-firm partnerships.
• Bollinger+Grohmann: European structural engineering firm with offices across Germany and beyond, focused on complex building structures for leading architects. Comparable to Redesco in its architect-collaborative model and focus on ambitious, non-standard structural geometry.

Broad incumbents

• Buro Happold: International engineering firm with a strong structural engineering practice focused on complex and sustainable buildings. Closely comparable in service mix and project types (tall buildings, special structures) but with broader geographic reach.
• Arup: Global engineering consultancy with a leading structural engineering practice working on landmark towers, bridges, and special structures. Competes with Redesco for high-profile projects but operates at vastly larger scale across many disciplines.
