What Ceh Planning, Developing and Consulting does

CÉH Planning, Developing and Consulting Inc. (CÉH zRt.) is a privately held Hungarian engineering bureau headquartered in Budapest that has operated continuously since 1989. The firm provides integrated design, engineering, project management, technical supervision, and consultancy services to enterprise, institutional and government clients across building, bridge and infrastructure projects in Hungary and, increasingly, internationally.

The company's offering is organized around six core service lines: Building Design & Engineering, Project Management, Bridge Design & Engineering, Engineering Consultancy, Technical Supervision, and CÉH+ BIM. Its underlying technology stack is built on Building Information Modeling methodology applied across the full building lifecycle, including Scan2BIM (3D laser scanning and drone survey), 3D design, 4D scheduling, 5D cost estimation, 6D sustainability, and 7D facility management (BIM2FM), augmented by parametric design and Virtual Design and Construction / Integrated Digital Delivery (VDC/IDD) workflows. CÉH was the first company in Central-Eastern Europe to obtain BSI ISO 19650-1 and -2:2018 BIM certification for its entire company group in April 2020, and holds additional ISO 9001, 14001 and 45001 certifications, VMR railway quality certification, Norwegian Central Approval and NATO Suitable Supplier status.

CÉH generates revenue through project-based, quote-driven professional services engagements. The client base spans manufacturing (BMW Group Debrecen, Becton Dickinson Környe, Apollo Tyres, Bosch), real estate and corporate campuses (MOL Campus), cultural and heritage sites (Hungarian State Opera, Matild Palace), education (MOME, Semmelweis), logistics (Rossmann) and public infrastructure. With 220+ multilingual professionals organized into a 160-person project management team and a 90-person design team, plus the CÉH Academy for internal development and the CÉH Foundation for talent pipeline building, the firm operates as a self-financing private joint-stock company with no disclosed external equity backing. In February 2026 Borbély Attila was appointed as CEO after more than 20 years with the company, completing a planned generational transition alongside founder-President Attila Tóth and Deputy CEO Tóth Attila Jr.
