PGT

What PGT does

PGT GmbH & Co. KG is a German engineering firm founded in 2000 and headquartered in Schaafheim, Südhessen, specializing in integrated TGA Fachplanung (technical building equipment planning). Its service portfolio covers all core building-services disciplines — electrical engineering, HVAC and sanitary, fire protection (sprinkler systems), and measurement/control/building automation — delivered as coordinated, cross-discipline planning rather than siloed sub-trade design. The firm holds relevant German technical certifications including VDI 6022 (room hygiene), VDI 6023 (drinking-water hygiene), DIN 14675 (fire-alarm systems), and DENA energy-advisor status, which together authorize it to issue energy certificates under §88 GEG.

The firm operates a project-based professional services model billed under the HOAI fee structure that governs German planning services. Pricing scales with project size and complexity rather than per-seat or subscription terms, and revenue is tied to a recurring project pipeline rather than recurring contracts. Customers span residential property developers (Lechner, MTV Bauen und Wohnen), commercial property developers (Merck, FRANK Projektentwicklung, SORAVIA), logistics and retail operators (Fiege), and public-sector clients including the Hessian state government via LBIH. The firm also runs a Berufsakademie Sachsen dual-study practice partnership and is an IHK-certified training company, formalizing its talent pipeline.

The team comprises approximately 16 staff: 5 engineers, 2 state-certified technicians, 4 technical draftspersons, 2 managing directors (Jürgen Werner and Johannes Weiß), plus commercial, apprentice, and dual-student roles. Tooling is conventional engineering software — AutoCAD, liNear for load and pipe-network calculations, Avanti for planning workflows, and MS Office — with no AI/automation layer disclosed. Geographic focus is the Rhein-Main region, with select project references extending to Hessian state work and broader national/international clients. The firm has completed more than 1,500 projects since inception, and current service scope has been extended into Energiewende (energy transition) advisory and energy certificate issuance.
