Ingenieurgruppe Freiburg GmbH

What Ingenieurgruppe Freiburg GmbH does

Ingenieurgruppe Freiburg GmbH is a privately held German consulting engineering firm (GmbH, HRB 4344) founded in 1962, headquartered at Munzinger Str. 5a in Freiburg im Breisgau, Baden-Württemberg. The company specializes in technical building equipment (Technische Gebäudeausrüstung, TGA), providing planning and construction supervision (Objektüberwachung/Fachbauleitung) services across eight interconnected disciplines: energy consulting and DIN V 18599 certification, dynamic building simulation, electrical engineering (high/low voltage, lighting, safety, IT, building automation, photovoltaic), elevator and conveyor technology, ventilation and cleanroom engineering, heat supply (including geothermal, biomass, district heating), sanitary engineering, and technical equipment for civil/infrastructure projects.

Service delivery follows the HOAI (Honorarordnung für Architekten und Ingenieure) fee framework across all standard engineering phases, from conceptual planning through construction supervision. The client base spans four primary verticals — Healthcare (Deutsche Rentenversicherung, Knappschaft Bahn See, Roche), Industrial/Manufacturing (Sick AG, Roche production facilities), Transportation/Infrastructure (Deutsche Bahn AG with ~150 projects, Fraport AG with 20+ Frankfurt Airport projects), and Real Estate/Banking (LBBW Immobilien Development, IVG Immobilien). Geographic reach covers Baden-Württemberg, Frankfurt, Stuttgart, Heidelberg, Karlsruhe, Basel (Switzerland), and Germany-wide railway infrastructure projects.

The firm's competitive position rests on a portfolio of regulatory qualifications and prequalifications (DB AG Fachplaner 50 Hz Technik, ENEV-Sachverständiger, TÜV-certified fire alarm planner, DIN V 18599 expert, preventive fire protection expert) plus DIN EN ISO 9001:2015 quality certification. Distribution is purely direct enterprise and government field sales through project-based procurement. Revenue mechanics are professional service fees per project, quoted on a HOAI-regulated basis depending on scope and complexity. Leadership rests with a single Managing Director, Dipl.-Ing. (FH) Pius Kindle, and the firm is currently recruiting electrical and HVAC engineers, signaling capacity expansion.

Broad incumbents

• Arcadis Germany: German operations of global design and consultancy Arcadis, offering engineering and project management services across buildings, infrastructure, and energy. Overlaps with IGF on TGA planning and energy consulting but operates at significantly larger scale.
• Drees & Sommer SE: Stuttgart-headquartered European real estate and infrastructure consultancy with a substantial TGA engineering practice alongside broader project management, sustainability, and digital services. Competes with IGF for TGA mandates but operates at far greater scale with thousands of employees and global footprint.
• Tractebel (formerly Lahmeyer): German engineering consultancy (now part of ENGIE/Tractebel) offering power, infrastructure, and building engineering services. Comparable on energy systems consulting and large public infrastructure mandates; significantly larger and broader than IGF.
• Ramboll Deutschland: German branch of Danish engineering consultancy Ramboll, providing buildings, transport, and energy engineering services. Competes with IGF in public infrastructure and energy retrofit mandates as a large multinational incumbent.
• WSP in Germany: German subsidiary of global engineering professional services firm WSP, providing MEP/TGA consulting as part of broader buildings and infrastructure offerings. Overlaps with IGF on regulated public infrastructure projects including transport hubs.
