Bgc.

What Bgc. does

bgc. Architekten + Ingenieure BDA is a German architecture and engineering firm operating as a sole proprietorship (Einzelunternehmen) registered in Mannheim, Baden-Württemberg. Founded in 1992 as Bürogemeinschaft Charlottenplatz, the firm delivers full-lifecycle architectural and engineering services across all German HOAI (Honorarordnung für Architekten und Ingenieure) performance phases, from project ideation and planning through construction execution, management, and building operation up to demolition. Its core service mix combines architectural design with project management and technical construction execution, delivered by interdisciplinary teams of architects, engineers, draftspersons, and technicians operating under flat hierarchies.

The firm serves a diversified client base across four primary segments: public sector bodies (federal, state, and municipal governments), corporate and institutional clients (banks, insurance companies, large corporations, foundations, and investment companies), private investors and developers, and peer architecture firms requiring supplemental project management and technical construction expertise. Use cases span complex building projects in education, healthcare, administration, research, event venues, hotels, leisure facilities, and sports stadiums. Project acquisition is driven primarily through competitive bidding (Wettbewerbs-Projekte) and public tenders, supplemented by direct sales relationships, with the firm maintaining branch offices at project sites nationwide across Germany.

The business model is straightforward professional services revenue: project-based fees quoted per engagement, typically aligned with HOAI fee schedules. The firm has no proprietary technology, no products, no apps, and no API; no patents, trademarks, or public pricing are disclosed. Operating leadership is concentrated in sole managing director Karin Scheferhoff (Dipl. Ing. TH, Freie Architektin BDA), who holds membership in the Architektenkammer Baden-Württemberg and the Bund Deutscher Architekten. The firm is privately held with no external investors, no funding rounds, no acquisitions, and no parent company.
