Berling Engineering Company

What Berling Engineering Company does

BERLING Ingenieurgesellschaft mbH is a Berlin-based, owner-managed engineering services firm founded in 2016 that delivers integrated planning, consulting, and construction supervision (Bauüberwachung) for technical building equipment (Technische Ausrüstung — covering heating, ventilation, sanitation, electrical, telecommunications, elevators, and fire protection) and technical infrastructure (Technische Infrastruktur). The firm operates as a professional services consultancy, billing project-specific fees consistent with German HOAI (Honorarordnung für Architekten und Ingenieure) performance phases 1–9, and serves both private developers, public-sector clients, architects, and general planners across Berlin-Brandenburg, Germany more broadly, and selected international markets including Dubai. Reported client engagements span residential, commercial, mixed-use, healthcare, educational, industrial, logistics, and craft/F&B buildings, with more than 100 projects delivered cumulatively since founding.

BERLING's technical workflow is built on cloud-based 3D Building Information Modeling (BIM), primarily using Autodesk Revit and its extensions, enabling model-based quantity and cost calculation, collision checks against structural models, and integration with CAFM/ERP systems. The firm's BIM methodology was publicly validated through a pilot project (Fachmarktzentrum Leinefelde) that was documented in the German BIM Mittelstandsleitfaden, a research initiative by Bergische Universität Wuppertal. Product lines comprise five interconnected service areas: Technische Ausrüstung Planung, Technische Infrastruktur Planung, Technische Beratung, BIM Planung und Bauen, and Bauleitung und Bauüberwachung.

Since early 2022, BERLING has operated under a strategic stakeholder partnership with real estate developer QUARTERBACK Immobilien AG (QBI), which holds an equity stake, and collaborates with qsol energie GmbH — a QBI corporate startup — to develop energy-transition-aligned technical equipment concepts. The company is led by Managing Director (Geschäftsführer) Christian Lohoff and employs a workforce that is 40% women; it is a signatory of the Charta der Vielfalt and is currently operating with active recruitment across career levels.
