AED Project

What AED Project does

AED project, a.s. is a privately held Czech architecture, engineering and design firm founded in 1992 and headquartered in Prague 5-Košíře. The firm delivers comprehensive building design services — from feasibility studies and permitting documentation through execution projects, engineering disciplines and architectural supervision — for office, residential, hospitality, public, research, sports and industrial developments, with a portfolio of 193 completed projects across the Czech Republic and selectively abroad (Lithuania, British Virgin Islands, Maldives). It is the self-described #1 BIM (Building Information Modeling) practice in the Czech Republic, having worked exclusively in BIM for over 12 years via a dedicated in-house BIM department that maintains proprietary modeling standards and a shared data environment (CDE). The firm employs 90+ staff, holds ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 certifications, and carries National Security Authority (NBÚ) clearance to Confidential level, enabling work on sensitive public-sector and security-adjacent projects.

The firm operates as a professional services business on a project-by-project basis, with fees negotiated per engagement based on scope, complexity and client requirements, and no publicly disclosed pricing. Its go-to-market is direct enterprise engagement, positioning as the 'local architect' partner for foreign studios entering the Czech market and vice versa, with named clients spanning ČSOB, Sekyra Group, Penta Investments, Skanska Reality, Metrostav, Charles University and the Fyzikální ústav AV ČR (ELI Beamlines). Distribution relies almost entirely on industry reputation, award wins (MIPIM, Grand Prix of Czech Architects, ABF Foundation #1 ranking, LEED Platinum, Stavba roku 2025), conference presence, gallery sponsorship, and a project portfolio website rather than paid marketing. Growth indicators include a 2025 organizational restructuring explicitly framed as scaling personnel and capacity, and recent commissions in new verticals such as multifunctional sports halls and swimming stadiums in 2025-2026.

AED project, a.s. is a joint-stock company owned by its founders — General Manager Zbyněk Ransdorf (Chairman of the Board) and Aleš Marek, Ph.D. (Board member) — alongside key management including Division Directors Vladimír Kodys and Tomáš Vávra. Revenue is not publicly disclosed; based on headcount of 90+ and the scale and complexity of its project portfolio, current annual revenue is estimated in the $10M-$25M band. The firm is not engaged in M&A, has no subsidiaries, and has no disclosed external institutional investors or parent company.

Core offering

AED Project provides comprehensive architectural and engineering design services using Building Information Modeling (BIM) methodology. The firm delivers project documentation across all design stages — from studies and construction permits to execution projects — including engineering activities and architectural supervision. AED Project serves as 'local architect' for foreign firms operating in the Czech Republic and supports Czech architects working abroad, applying proprietary BIM standards to administrative, hospitality, residential, public, industrial, and multifunctional construction projects.

Product overview

AED Project is an architecture, engineering, and design firm that operates as a single, unified service offering rather than a modular software platform. The company provides comprehensive BIM-based design services, offering project documentation, engineering consulting, and architectural supervision across all design stages. Their portfolio spans diverse building typologies including administrative, hospitality, residential, public (schools and sports facilities), industrial, and multi-functional projects. The core offering is their expertise in Building Information Modeling methodology, which they apply to both new constructions and renovations, serving as a key differentiator in the Czech construction design market.
