What AE+ Engineering does

AE+ Engineering is a Belgian private technical engineering consultancy headquartered in Sint-Truiden, Limburg, founded in 2014 by co-owners Wim Diliën and Geert Jacobs. The firm designs technical studies for building projects across HVAC, electrical, sanitary, and elevator installations, alongside renewable energy integration, and operates as a "studiebureau technieken" (technical study office) serving building owners, architects, developers, and public-sector clients throughout Flanders, Wallonia, and Brussels.

The company's core technology platform is Building Information Modeling (BIM) under the ISO 19650 information-management standard, a certification AE+ was the first Belgian engineering firm to obtain from Vinçotte in 2022. Its service portfolio is organized into three integrated lines: Technical Installations (HVAC, electrical, sanitary, BIM, renewable energy, elevators), Energy Performance (EPB reporting for Flanders and Brussels, ventilation reporting, feasibility studies, thermography, dynamic studies, energy poverty advisory), and Safety (safety coordination and fire prevention). Delivery is supported by a 25-person in-house team of engineers and drafters and includes feasibility studies, design-phase modeling, and on-site supervision through to certification.

AE+ generates revenue through project-based professional services fees for design work, feasibility studies, EPB certification, safety coordination, and site supervision, with pricing handled via quote requests ("vrijblijvend offerte") rather than publicly disclosed rates. Go-to-market is sales-led and direct, combining inbound from the company website, phone, WhatsApp, and LinkedIn with active participation in Belgian public procurement. The firm has completed 500+ projects for 100+ partners across verticals including healthcare, education, government, retail, industrial, automotive, hospitality, sport, and real estate, and remains privately held with no disclosed external investors or parent company.
