CASUA

What CASUA does

CASUA, spol. s r.o. is a Prague-based architectural and engineering firm founded in 1991 by architect Oleg Haman and engineer Aleš Poděbrad. The company delivers integrated architecture, civil/structural engineering, and BIM-based project planning services across residential, commercial, mixed-use, healthcare, and cultural building segments in the Czech Republic and selectively abroad. Its core technology is a proprietary corporate BIM standard — developed since 2004 and compliant with ČSN EN ISO 19650 — that supports spatial coordination, automated documentation generation, budget estimation, and visualization from unified 3D models, supplemented by laser scanning and VR. CASUA has been a member of Equator European Architects since 2007 and became part of the OBERMEYER Group in 2021, while also contributing to national BIM and sustainable building councils (CZGBC).

The firm generates revenue through professional services fees on a custom, project-based pricing model under multi-year contracts covering the full project lifecycle from initial concept through author supervision. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales to private real estate developers, complemented by participation in public procurement for government projects (e.g., Motol University Hospital oncology extension, Czech Statistical Office administrative complex). Marquee clients include Geosan Development, Penta Real Estate, Trigema Projekt Smíchov, KKCG Real Estate Group, REICO, and Centrum TGM. CASUA's headcount is in the 51–100 range, including 24 authorized architects and engineers, and the firm has logged over 2.25 million project hours and designed seven hospitals across the Czech and Slovak Republics. The firm's competitive position rests on its 30+ year brand, integrated architect-engineer model, BIM methodology leadership, and dense award record (Grand Prix Architektů, Stavba roku, Best of Realty, International Property Awards).
