Hartinger Consult

What Hartinger Consult does

Hartinger Consult, operating as HC Ingenieure GmbH, is a privately held German engineering consultancy headquartered in Thannhausen, Bavaria, with a second office in Augsburg established in July 2021. Founded through a 2009 merger of Ingenieurbüro Markus Seitz and Hartinger Consult (roots dating to 1989), the firm provides structural and civil engineering services under six integrated service lines: planning and construction management, construction consulting, structural engineering, structural dynamics, building physics certification, and expert reports/appraisals. The firm is currently led by managing directors Peter Greiner and Markus Seitz following a 2026 rebrand.

The firm serves public authorities and infrastructure owners, commercial and industrial project owners, and heritage property owners, with a documented track record of over 8,000 projects since 1989 — ranging from individual structural components to multi-span 100m prestressed concrete bridges. Specialized capabilities include bridge construction in reinforced concrete, prestressed concrete, carbon concrete, steel, and timber; special foundation engineering (cast-in-place piles, diaphragm walls, Berlin and Munich excavation support); building diagnostics under DIN 1076 and VDI 6200; and thermal, acoustic, and fire protection certification under GEG, KfW, and BEG frameworks. All work is performed in-house across the two offices, which the firm positions as a quality and single-point-of-contact differentiator.

The business operates on a project-based professional services model with fees governed by HOAI (the German fee structure for architects and engineers). It generates revenue from one-time engineering engagements rather than recurring licenses or platform fees, with no software products, no API offering, and no AI/ML capabilities disclosed. The company is founder-managed, has no external investors or parent entity, and operates exclusively in the Bavarian regional market. Headcount is reported in the 11-50 range; no revenue, contract value, or backlog figures are publicly disclosed.

Core offering

Hartinger Consult, operating as HC Ingenieure GmbH, is a civil and structural engineering consultancy delivering six integrated service areas: Planning and Construction Management, Construction Consulting, Structural Engineering, Structural Dynamics, Building Physics Certificates, and Expert Reports. The firm serves public authorities, commercial/industrial project owners, and heritage property owners with work spanning bridge construction in multiple materials, special foundation engineering, building inspections per DIN 1076 and VDI 6200, fire protection, thermal/acoustic certification per GEG and KfW/BEG, and damage/load-capacity assessments.

Product overview

HC Ingenieure (formerly Hartinger Consult GmbH) is a civil engineering firm offering a comprehensive portfolio of six integrated service areas: (1) Planung und Bauleitung (Planning and Construction Management) for commercial buildings, bridges and conversions; (2) Bauberatung (Construction Consulting) including fire protection, historical building restoration and feasibility studies; (3) Tragwerksplanung (Structural Engineering) for all HOAI phases including bridge construction in various materials; (4) Baudynamik (Structural Dynamics) for dynamic load verification and fatigue analyses; (5) Bauphysikalische Nachweise (Building Physics Certificates) for thermal insulation, sound insulation and fire protection; and (6) Gutachten (Expert Reports) for damage assessment, renovation evaluation and structural inspections. All projects are handled completely in-house, providing unified quality and a single point of contact across all service areas.

Functional benefit

Products and services

• Planung und Bauleitung (Planning and Construction Management) Project planning and construction management services for commercial buildings, bridges and walkways (new construction and restoration), conversions in existing buildings using timber, masonry, concrete and steel construction, power plants, water and wastewater structures, and engineering structures for flood retention. Targeted at project owners, construction companies and public authorities.
• Bauberatung (Construction Consulting) Early-stage fire protection consulting, fire protection execution planning with coordination of private testing experts, restoration of historical buildings in close coordination with the State Office for Monument Preservation, feasibility studies for upward extensions, conversions or modifications, support in obtaining funding for bridge construction, and negotiations with approval authorities.
• Tragwerksplanung (Structural Engineering) Structural engineering for high-rise and civil engineering across all HOAI phases. Includes bridge construction in reinforced concrete, prestressed concrete, carbon concrete, steel and timber, plus special foundation engineering (cast-in-place piles, diaphragm walls, driven piles, sheet piles, Berlin and Munich excavation support systems).
• Baudynamik (Structural Dynamics) Dynamic load verification for external loads from traffic, wind or earthquakes; fatigue analyses (FAT analyses) including determination of permissible load change numbers; determination of suitable weld and screw connections; defect analyses and frequency determinations; and stability investigations for dynamically loaded structures.
• Bauphysikalische Nachweise (Building Physics Certificates) Thermal insulation certificates per GEG and KfW/BEG confirmations for funding applications; sound insulation tailored to building type and requirement level; fire protection for all building classes from residential buildings to special structures.
• Gutachten (Expert Reports/Appraisals) Construction damage assessments with damage mapping; renovation assessments with technical building evaluation; structural inspections per DIN 1076 for engineering structures and detailed building inspections per VDI 6200; load-bearing capacity assessments for existing or modified load-bearing structures.
