What IKK Group does

IKK Group GmbH is an Austrian engineering and general planning consultancy headquartered in Graz, founded in 1976, operating across four regional offices (Graz, Vienna, Steinhaus bei Wels, and Villach). The firm provides twelve integrated service areas spanning the full construction lifecycle: architecture and building, structural engineering, construction management, industrial steel construction, general planning, BIM and digitalization, civil/structural engineering for infrastructure, infrastructure, water and environment, tunnel and geotechnical engineering, technical building equipment, and sustainable construction. Its core technical platform is Building Information Modeling (BIM) methodology applied cross-departmentally for project design, coordination, and management, supported by an authorized training partnership with buildingSMART Austria.

The company serves both public-sector and private-sector clients, with disclosed engagements including the Austrian Armed Forces (Bundesheer) on sustainable timber military accommodation projects and IKEA on commercial/retail general planning. Its customer segments split across commercial and industrial construction and public infrastructure, with a growing sustainable/green construction segment driven by ÖGNI certification expertise and Madaster Kennedy partner status for circular construction material passports.

IKK Group generates revenue through professional services fees on a project-based, quote-based model. Work is acquired through architectural competitions, direct client engagements, and industry referrals, with the company positioning itself as a single-source Generalplaner (general planner) for complex multidisciplinary projects. The firm is independently owned, managed by two Managing Directors (DI Franz-Christian Kraschl and DI Andreas Perchinig), with 101–250 employees and no disclosed external funding or M&A activity.
