Boll Partner für Tragwerke GmbH & Co. KG

What Boll Partner für Tragwerke GmbH & Co. KG does

Boll Partner für Tragwerke GmbH & Co. KG is a Stuttgart-headquartered structural engineering consultancy that plans load-bearing structures for buildings across Germany, with additional offices in Heilbronn and Hanau/Frankfurt and a team of more than 60 engineers. The firm was founded around 1970 and is one of the early movers in Building Information Modeling in German structural engineering, having completed its transition from 2D CAD to fully model-based BIM planning around 2007. Its customer base spans architects, public authorities, building owners, and developers, with visible marquee reference projects including the Mercedes-Benz Museum, BMW and Porsche automotive facilities, the Leuphana University campus, the Alb-Fils-Kliniken and Klinikum Esslingen hospitals, and public-sector work for Stadt Lindau and Land Baden-Württemberg.

The firm's core offering is end-to-end structural planning of load-bearing frameworks — including reinforced concrete, steel, timber, and hybrid systems — delivered as digital models rather than 2D drawings, with services covering feasibility studies, conceptual and detailed design, testing engineering (Prüfingenieur), building-physics integrations, and increasingly CO2/embodied-carbon assessments aligned with sustainable construction criteria. Technically the practice depends on BIM platforms, RiLi SIB-certified modeling, and the firm's accumulation of more than 500 digitally modeled projects, which form an internal reference base used to accelerate estimation and detailing on new mandates.

Revenue is generated on a professional-services basis: project-by-project or framework-based consulting engagements billed per phase, with public-sector infrastructure, developer-led commercial real estate (Instone, Züblin), and corporate/industrial clients (automotive OEMs) representing the most visible verticals. Expansion in recent years has come both organically — through a new CO2-neutral planning service line and additional MD-level leadership (Wilfried Kurz alongside co-MD Hannah Walke) — and inorganically, via the 2023 acquisition/cooperation with Ingenieurbüro Euler that established the Hanau/Frankfurt office. The legal form is a GmbH & Co. KG, with ownership reorganized via a 2021 Realteilung restructuring to support multi-generational continuity.
