Descriptiontext

HAFNERS BÜRO GmbH is a privately held Autodesk Gold Partner headquartered at Hohnerstraße 23 in Stuttgart, Germany. Founded in 1988 as an Autodesk sales partner and operating as a German GmbH with three shareholders (Alexander Hafner, Grit Kubin, and Ralf Schmitz), the company specializes in Building Information Modeling (BIM) consulting, digital transformation advisory, factory planning, and CAD training for architecture, construction, and mechanical engineering firms, primarily Mittelstand customers in the Stuttgart region. The business combines Autodesk software resale with higher-margin professional services across two primary verticals: architecture/construction and mechanical engineering/manufacturing. Notable enterprise customers include STIHL, ZIEHL-ABEGG, Viessmann, Friedrich Lütze, MÖRK, Köster, Adolf Lupp, and Hobart.

The company delivers services through its CAD Campus training platform, its premium GOLD Service Package (annual subscription including Revit family access, tutorial clips, and priority support), and dedicated BIM Consulting and Factory Planning practices. The technical stack centers on Autodesk Revit, AutoCAD, Inventor, Civil 3D, Navisworks, Vault, Forma Industry Cloud (formerly Autodesk Construction Cloud), and ReCap Pro, supplemented by third-party integrations including Enscape (real-time rendering), TABLES (Revit plugin), Microsoft Power BI, and FastViewer (remote support). The GOLD ecosystem contains an internally developed Revit family library and a tutorial clip library dating back to 2008/2009, representing accumulated proprietary content. Hafners is also a co-founder and shareholder of inovi GmbH, a 2018 joint venture with three other Autodesk Gold Partners (AKG, Arnold, entegra), and holds an active seat on the buildingSMART Coordination Committee RG-Stuttgart.

The revenue model blends four streams: per-person training courses (€525-€2,875 per course), BIM and digital transformation consulting, Autodesk software license resale as a Gold Partner, and recurring GOLD subscription support packages. Distribution is direct enterprise field sales, anchored by personal relationships in the Stuttgart region and augmented by online training, a YouTube channel, LinkedIn presence, and email newsletters. Customer acquisition is overwhelmingly referral-based, averaging approximately three new customer projects per month. Recent strategic signals include partnerships with AIUI (on-premise AI), Systecs (CAD extensions and Digital Twin), and 2F-IT (managed services), suggesting incremental product surface expansion within the core Autodesk-centric service portfolio.
