GET

What GET does

GET – gestão de energia térmica – Engenheiros Consultores is a Portuguese engineering consultancy founded in 1985 and headquartered in Porto. The firm specializes in HVAC (AVAC) engineering, providing project design, technical studies, and advisory services for heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning systems across residential, commercial, healthcare, hospitality, educational, cultural, and industrial buildings. Service lines span eight departments: AVAC project design, mechanical ventilation and smoke extraction, gas network installations, bioclimatic engineering and renewable energies, energy audits for buildings and industry (SCGIE), energy and acoustic certification, and a formal R&D/innovation function. Since 2010 GET has used Autodesk Revit as its BIM platform for HVAC design and coordination with architectural and other specialty disciplines, with an integrated design philosophy that couples passive building performance with high-efficiency active systems.

The business is a project-based professional services firm. Revenue is generated through quoted engineering fees per engagement, with multi-year contract cadence typical for larger institutional projects (hospitals, hotels, museums, universities). Customer logos include Hospital CUF Alcântara, Hotel Vidago, Hotel Fasano Angra dos Reis, Museu de Serralves, Universidade Federal do Paraná, Deloitte Porto, Santander Totta, H Stern, Alcatel Headquarters, and Shihlien Chemical Office, spanning eight verticals. The firm claims 1,590 completed projects executed across 15 countries and 9 continents, though the website's team page lists 12 individuals and the main page states 450 collaborators — likely indicating a small core engineering team supplemented by a wider network of project-based collaborators, particularly for international work.

Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales to architects, developers, construction companies, and property owners. Distribution is entirely direct (no channel partners or resellers), and marketing is limited to an outdated blog and passive social media presence. Linked logo-level partnerships exist with Greenwatt (Brazil), GTO (Portugal), and Audicerta (Portugal), suggesting light cross-border and complementary-service affiliations. The firm is privately held with no disclosed ownership structure, funding rounds, M&A activity, or institutional investors.

Broad incumbents

• WSP Global: Multinational engineering professional services firm with a strong MEP, sustainability, and energy-services practice. Competes with GET for institutional and commercial HVAC design commissions across Europe and Latin America.
• Arcadis: Global design and engineering consultancy with a building-performance and HVAC/MEP practice. Comparable for HVAC engineering consultancy on commercial, hospitality, and institutional buildings in European markets.
• Ramboll: International engineering, architecture, and consulting company with strong sustainability and HVAC design offerings. Competes for energy-efficient and net-zero building projects across Europe in a manner directly analogous to GET's positioning.
• Buro Happold: International engineering consultancy with a strong building-services / MEP design portfolio. Overlaps with GET on sustainability-led HVAC design for cultural, educational, and healthcare projects.
• AECOM: Global infrastructure consulting firm with large MEP and building-services design groups. Comparable because AECOM delivers HVAC/AVAC engineering on large-scale commercial, healthcare, and cultural projects in the same verticals as GET.
• Arup: Global engineering consultancy with deep MEP/HVAC and sustainability design capabilities. Directly comparable because Arup competes for the same healthcare, hospitality, cultural, and large commercial HVAC design mandates that GET pursues, but at far greater scale and geographic reach.
• Sweco: European engineering and architecture consultancy with MEP, energy, and sustainability practices. Competes for HVAC/AVAC engineering mandates on commercial and public-sector projects across Europe in the same space as GET.
• Tetra Tech: Global consulting and engineering firm with energy and building-services practices. Comparable for high-performance building design and energy consulting work overlapping GET's HVAC and energy-audit services.

Regional players

• IDOM: Spanish-headquartered engineering and architecture group with MEP/HVAC design capabilities. Direct comparable as a fellow Iberian engineering consultancy competing for similar commercial, healthcare, and industrial HVAC design commissions.
• Afaconsult: Portuguese engineering consultancy (Afaconsult / Quadrante group) with MEP, energy, and sustainability practices. Direct comparable for HVAC/AVAC engineering consulting across Portuguese healthcare, hospitality, cultural, and commercial projects.
