What Engelsmann Peters GmbH does

Engelsmann Peters GmbH is a privately held, founder-led structural engineering firm founded in 2006 and headquartered in Stuttgart, Germany, with branch offices in Graz and Kirchdorf an der Krems, Austria. The firm offers integrated structural design (Tragwerksplanung) and object planning services across all German Leistungsphasen 1-9, covering new construction, renovation/heritage work, infrastructure, industrial buildings, building envelopes, and special constructions in steel, timber, concrete, masonry, glass, and plastics. Its client base spans public-sector owners (municipalities, state governments, Bundeswehr, ÖBB), industrial and commercial enterprises (PUMA UK, Optima Pharma, Sortimo, Infineon, UmweltBank), and architect-led competitions, with projects delivered across DACH and selectively in the UK, Netherlands, Switzerland, Italy, USA, Thailand, and Australia.

The firm's core technology stack combines Building Information Modeling (BIM), parametric design in Rhino3D, and advanced engineering software (Allplan, Revit, AutoCAD) with proprietary innovations including 3D-printed concrete hollow-body formwork for cassette ceilings (co-developed with TU Graz, delivering 34% concrete savings and up to 47% CO2 reduction), hybrid timber-concrete composite systems, and structural glazing expertise built through a long-standing partnership with seele Group. The firm earns revenue through fee-based professional services billed per project phase, acquired through architectural competitions (with a documented track record of 60+ competition successes), public tender procedures under VgV, and direct commissions from architect and developer relationships.
