Building and Civil Engineering Planning Schröder Partnership of Planning Engineers

What Building and Civil Engineering Planning Schröder Partnership of Planning Engineers does

Building and Civil Engineering Planning Schröder Partnership of Planning Engineers (HTPS) is a privately held, family-owned civil engineering and construction planning firm headquartered in Berlin, Germany. Founded in its current form in 1996 by Dr.-Ing. Karl Schröder and Dipl.-Ing. Hans-Joachim Schröder, the firm traces its roots to a 1914 building materials business established by Wilhelm Schröder, and now operates as a fourth-generation family enterprise under the leadership of its two co-founder managing directors. The group is organized into two legal entities: HTPS Hoch- und Tiefbau-Planung Schröder Partnerschaft von Planungsingenieuren mbB, which delivers individual planning services, and HTGS Hoch- und Tiefbau-Generalplanung Schröder GmbH (established 2000), which delivers general planning services.

The firm offers an end-to-end service portfolio spanning architectural planning, structural engineering, fire protection planning and assessment, building physics (thermal, acoustic, fire), tendering, construction supervision, safety and health coordination (SiGeKo), and publicly certified expert witness services for building, structural, and fire damage (appointed and sworn by IHK Berlin). Technical delivery relies on standard professional engineering tools including CAD software; no proprietary technology platform is disclosed. Work is project-based and the firm does not publicly disclose pricing models.

HTPS serves enterprise and public-sector clients including property developers (HOWOGE, Trei Real Estate, Multi Veste Berlin, Procom Objekt Neu-Ulm), government/transportation authorities (Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe), industrial operators (BTB GmbH), healthcare/life sciences (Centogene), and sports infrastructure (1. FC Union Berlin's Stadion An der Alten Försterei). Project scale ranges from individual residential developments to large retail, industrial, transportation, and stadium commissions exceeding 100,000 sqm. Revenue is generated through project-based professional services fees, with geographic reach across Berlin, Brandenburg, Frankfurt am Main, Hamburg, Rostock, and Neu-Ulm. The firm employs approximately 40 staff organized across management, architecture, structural engineering, construction supervision, and expert witness functions.

Broad incumbents

• WSP in Germany: WSP's German property and buildings business offers structural engineering, building physics, and project management — overlaps with HTPS on Tragwerksplanung and fire protection but is part of a global, publicly listed parent.
• Ramboll: Global engineering, design, and consulting firm with strong Nordic and German presence — overlaps with HTPS on building engineering and infrastructure planning but at vastly greater scale and with broader service portfolio.
• Sweco: European engineering and architecture consultancy with significant German operations — competes for similar planning mandates but operates as a publicly listed firm with thousands of engineers across many disciplines.
• Schlaich Bergermann Partner: Established German structural engineering firm specializing in civil structures and complex architecture — comparable on the structural engineering and special-buildings axis though operating at much larger scale and international scope.
• Arup: Global engineering and design consultancy with a major German practice in Berlin — directly comparable on stadium, transit, and complex-building planning; competes for the same marquee public-sector commissions as HTPS.

Direct peers

• Werner Sobek: German engineering practice offering structural, facade, and sustainability design for high-profile buildings — competes for similar architectural-engineering planning commissions with an emphasis on complex geometry and building physics.
• Bollinger + Grohmann: European engineering consultancy providing structural and building physics design for complex architecture — directly comparable in service scope (Tragwerksplanung, Bauphysik, Brandschutz) and project profile.
• Ingenieurgruppe Bauen: Mid-sized German engineering consultancy offering structural engineering, building physics, and construction supervision in southern Germany — a close analogue in size, services, and ownership profile to HTPS.
• Drees & Sommer: German-headquartered engineering, project management, and consulting firm active across real estate, infrastructure, and industrial construction — directly competes with HTGS for general planning mandates on the same client segments.
• HPP Architekten: German architecture and general-planning practice with deep roots in office, retail, and sports venue design — comparable in service scope and client segment (commercial developers, stadiums, public clients).
