What Skepast&Puhkim does

Skepast&Puhkim OÜ is an Estonian consulting company founded in 2004 that provides integrated professional services across four domains: infrastructure design, spatial planning, environmental consulting, and sustainability. Its infrastructure practice covers road and bridge design, water supply and sewage systems, BIM coordination, infrastructure studies, 3D visualization, and expert assessments. The spatial planning practice delivers detailed plans, general plans, strategic planning, and GIS-based site selection analyses. The environmental practice conducts environmental impact assessments (EIAs), environmental permits, noise studies (via partner Kajaja Acoustics), waste studies, and Natura 2000 evaluations. A newer sustainability practice adds climate and energy planning, greenhouse gas analysis, and climate resilience assessments. The firm is differentiated by being the only Estonian consultancy offering all three core disciplines — planning, environmental assessment, and infrastructure design — under one roof, with staff holding the country's highest (7th level) professional qualification.

The business model is project-based professional services revenue, delivered through direct B2B sales and competitive public procurement, primarily to Estonian government agencies, ministries (notably Transpordiamet and the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Communications), municipalities, and private infrastructure developers. Pricing is custom-quoted per project scope with no standardized tiers and multi-year contract cadence. GTM relies on a small direct sales force, participation in public tenders, and brand presence through professional associations and award recognition (2024 Best Road Designer from the Transport Administration). The company has 40+ employees, a wholly-owned Latvian subsidiary (Skepast&Puhkim SIA), and is beginning to undertake projects in Sweden.

Technology underpins the service delivery through BIM for infrastructure modeling, AutoCAD Civil 3D for road design, GIS for spatial analysis, 3D visualization for stakeholder communication, and Robot for structural analysis. Notable project credentials include Rail Baltica sections in Harju and Rapla counties, the E263 Tallinn-Tartu-Võru-Luhamaa highway, nuclear power plant site selection planning for up to 600 MW, offshore wind farm EIA (Liivi Bay), and the Raadi urban planning competition win in Tartu.
