Ingenieurbüro WOLF

What Ingenieurbüro WOLF does

Ingenieurbüro WOLF is a German geospatial engineering firm operating as a sole proprietorship under founder Alexander Wolf, headquartered in Nürnberg with an additional office in Vorra. The firm delivers high-precision surveying and inspection services for engineering consultancies, government and public infrastructure operators, and energy sector clients, combining UAV-based photogrammetry, terrestrial laser scanning (notably the RIEGL VZ-600i), boat-based kinematic LiDAR, handheld scanning, multispectral imaging, and combined RGB/thermal facade capture. Differentiated technical capabilities include multi-technology fusion for complex structures such as the 117m Luitpoldbrücke Passau suspension bridge, 3D Gaussian Splatting for digital twin generation, and accuracy validated to sub-millimeter reference standards using Emlid GNSS receivers. The service portfolio spans four lines: Vermessung & Inspektion (on-site data capture), PostProcessing & Geodaten (orthophotos, DEMs, point cloud classification, GIS integration, volume calculations, multispectral indices), Workshops & Trainings (UAV surveying, photogrammetry, GIS), and Hardware & Spezialequipment including Agisoft Metashape software license resale.

The business operates on a project-based professional services model with direct enterprise and government engagement. Customers include Deutsche Bahn, EnBW, BayWa, ESA, DLR, BMVI, Stadt München, Goldbeck, ib vogt, Cteam, and LTB Leitungsbau, spanning rail, energy (including renewables and transmission), aerospace research, municipal infrastructure, and construction. Geographic delivery is concentrated in Germany (Bavaria, Hessen, Schleswig-Holstein, Baden-Württemberg) with selective cross-border work in Austria. The firm maintains deep tooling partnerships with RIEGL, YellowScan, Quantum-Systems, Emlid, and Agisoft, and markets through its own website, YouTube, LinkedIn, Facebook, recurring Intergeo trade fair presence, and training/workshop channels. Revenue is not publicly disclosed and the firm carries no institutional funding, operating as an entirely founder-owned entity spun out from the Multikopter-Services division of Syrphus GmbH.

Core offering

Ingenieurbüro WOLF delivers high-precision geospatial surveying and inspection services using UAVs (multirotor and VTOL fixed-wing), terrestrial and boat-based kinematic laser scanning, photogrammetry, multispectral, and RGB/thermal sensors, combined with professional post-processing into georeferenced orthophotos, classified point clouds, digital terrain/surface models, volumetric calculations, and GIS-ready deliverables. The firm additionally offers paid training/workshops in UAV surveying and photogrammetry, and resells Agisoft Metashape photogrammetry software and specialized surveying hardware to surveying offices and engineering firms.

Product overview

Ingenieurbüro WOLF is a surveying services company offering a unified portfolio of geospatial data collection and processing services. The core offering comprises three integrated service areas: Vermessung & Inspektion (surveying and inspection using UAVs, laser scanning, and specialized sensors), PostProcessing & Geodaten (professional data processing, analysis, and GIS integration), and Workshops & Trainings (professional education in UAV surveying and photogrammetry). Hardware & Spezialequipment provides equipment consultation and resells Agisoft Metashape software licenses. These services work together as an end-to-end workflow from field data capture through to final deliverable, with training services enabling clients to build internal capabilities.
