Hoehler + Partner (legal name: Höhler+Partner Architekten und Beratende Ingenieure PartGmbB) is a German architecture and engineering consulting firm founded in 1970 in Aachen by Ernst Höhler. The firm delivers integrated construction project management services to building owners and architects across HOAI service phases 1-9, organized around four core pillars: Cost Management (Kostenmanagement), Time Management (Terminsteuerung), Tendering/Awarding (Ausschreibung/Vergabe), and Site Supervision (Objektüberwachung). Complementary offerings include General Planning, Partner-Architect collaboration, Object Planning, BIM, Sustainable Building, Commissioning Management (IBN), Project Management, and Competition Management.

The firm's technical backbone comprises custom-developed MS-Access databases with project-specific configurations for reporting, cost control, and defect management, combined with BIM methodology applied with varying depth depending on project demands.

A mobile app supports illustrated defect recording tied to plan-document locations during site supervision.

Hoehler + Partner operates a project-based professional services model with fees negotiated individually against HOAI-defined scope. The firm is led by six managing partners (Karin Höhler, Olaf Pudenz, Andreas Thieves, Kathrin Becker, Felix Memminger, Timo Wahner) and operates from offices in Aachen (HQ), Hamburg, Munich, and Berlin in Germany, plus a joint-venture partner office (Hoehler+alSalmy LLC) in Muscat, Oman, serving the Arab region. Revenue is not publicly disclosed; the firm is privately held with no external parent or funding rounds.
