AVR Development

What AVR Development does

AVR Development is a private Ukrainian architectural and engineering firm headquartered in Lviv that delivers full-spectrum design services ranging from urban planning concepts and concept development through architecture, structural and systems engineering, interior design, and project management to construction commissioning support. The company serves six primary customer segments: real estate developers (its principal vertical, including Lagom, Quoroom, Lev, Auroom, and Resident Development), hospitality operators, educational institutions, healthcare facilities, commercial/office developers, and government/municipal bodies (notably Lviv City Council, the State Border Guard Service, and wartime-reconstruction projects such as the Unbroken rehabilitation center). The firm is led by CEO Yulian Chaplinsky, who brings senior regulatory experience from his prior roles as Head of the Lviv City Council Architecture Department and Deputy Minister of Regional Development, and co-founder Roman Romanets, who heads business development.

The firm's core technology stack is Building Information Modeling (BIM), used to create precise digital models of future buildings and to drive early-stage cost estimation. A proprietary Cost Estimation Module integrated within BIM enables detailed budget evaluation at the schematic design stage, which the company positions as a differentiator in the Ukrainian market. Project portfolio spans 100+ engagements totaling more than 1.3 million square meters, with 40+ projects completed, 20 in implementation or commissioning, and 50+ in design. Individual project scale ranges from approximately 3,200 m2 (Yefremova Street 26 residential building) to 74,000 m2 (ONSEN mixed-use spa and wellness complex), with marquee engagements including the Kingspan EUR 300 million construction materials factory in Lviv region (April 2025) and the Jam Factory Art Center (opened November 2023). Recognition includes a Mies van der Rohe Award nomination, NSAU Awards (including a 2025 ceremony win), Ukrainian Urban Awards, Poland Urban Awards, and a 2024 first-place finish in the Rebuild Ukraine Hackathon.

AVR Development operates as a project-based professional services firm, generating revenue through quote-based design fees tied to individual engagements. The go-to-market is sales-led, combining direct client engagement, referrals, and competitive wins through architectural competitions (such as the Lviv City Council municipal housing competition). Distribution is regional, focused on the Lviv and Kyiv regions of Ukraine. In 2022 the firm pivoted from a pure project organization to a research-oriented model focused on BIM R&D, construction financial analytics, and post-war reconstruction methodologies, and has continued to expand headcount despite wartime conditions.
