ISP-Scholz Beratende Ingenieure AG

What ISP-Scholz Beratende Ingenieure AG does

ISP-Scholz Beratende Ingenieure AG is a Munich-headquartered German consulting engineering firm (beratende Ingenieure) founded in 1956 by Dr.-Ing. Günter Scholz and currently operating as a wholly-owned operating subsidiary of ISP Scholz Holding GmbH following a 2020 restructuring. The firm provides structural planning (Tragwerksplanung), object planning for civil engineering structures, preventive fire protection engineering, building physics, BIM-based design, construction supervision, inspections and repairs, and monument preservation engineering to clients primarily in Bavaria, Saxony, and (since 2025) Poland. Service delivery spans all HOAI service phases (LPH 2-6, 8) for new build, existing-building (Bauen im Bestand), and infrastructure projects, including high-rise research buildings, laboratories, cleanrooms, industrial production halls, schools, hospitals, public housing, bridges, and listed heritage structures.

The technical backbone rests on a multidisciplinary combination of structural engineering, fire protection, and building physics delivered under one roof, supported by two in-house board members holding the rare Bavarian Prüfingenieur certification for structural analysis. The firm operates from four offices (Munich-Freiham headquarters, Leipzig, Nuremberg, Wrocław) with a stable workforce of approximately 50 engineers, technicians, and commercial staff, and is led by a Vorstand that includes family members of the founder alongside external senior talent. The technology stack centers on BIM-based 3D modeling for structural coordination; notably, no AI/ML capabilities, proprietary software products, or data-asset moats are disclosed.

The business model is fee-based project commissions on a professional-services basis, with revenue earned per engagement via direct commissions (notably repeat work with Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft and Max-Planck institutes), public-sector tenders from municipalities and the Free State of Bavaria, and private developer commissions (e.g., BMW Group battery plant, Wöhr und Bauer parking structures). Customer mix is dominated by government and public-sector clients, research institutions, and selected industrial and religious/healthcare buyers. Pricing is project-specific and not publicly disclosed. Marketing and business development rely on direct relationships, university career fairs, professional association involvement (BayIKa-Bau, BVPI, VBI), and limited organic social channels (LinkedIn, Instagram).

Regional players

• Jauslin + Stebler Ingenieure AG: Basel, Switzerland-based structural engineering firm where ISP supervisory board chair Prof. Andreas Scholz previously worked. Comparable in scale and service mix but operating primarily in the Swiss market.

Emerging players

• LCEE Life Cycle Engineering Experts GmbH: Darmstadt-based engineering consultancy co-founded by ISP board member Carl-Alexander Graubner. Focused on life-cycle and sustainability engineering for concrete and masonry structures — closely adjacent specialization.

Direct peers

• König & Heunisch Planungsgesellschaft: Frankfurt-based structural engineering firm where ISP board member Carl-Alexander Graubner previously worked as Prüfingenieur. Direct competitor for Prüfingenieur-certified structural verification on complex German public and industrial projects.

• Schlaich Bergermann Partner: Stuttgart-based structural engineering consultancy with similar depth in bridges, lightweight structures, and complex building engineering. Highly comparable to ISP-Scholz on structural planning, fire protection, and serving public-sector research and infrastructure clients.
• Ingenieurbüro Grassl: Munich-based structural and civil engineering consultancy specializing in bridges, tunnels, and building structures. Highly comparable regional peer competing for many of the same Bavarian public-sector and infrastructure clients.
• Werner Sobek: Stuttgart-based engineering firm specializing in structural design, façade engineering, and sustainable construction. Direct peer on integrated structural and sustainability-focused engineering for premium institutional and industrial clients.
• Bollinger + Grohmann: Frankfurt-headquartered structural engineering firm with offices across Europe. Comparable in scale and service portfolio to ISP-Scholz, with similar focus on complex institutional, research, and high-rise buildings plus timber-hybrid expertise.

Broad incumbents

• Buro Happold: International engineering consultancy with structural, MEP, and sustainability practices. Broader incumbent competing with ISP-Scholz on large research and institutional projects but offering a wider multi-disciplinary portfolio.
• Arup: Global engineering consultancy competing for major institutional, research, and infrastructure clients in Germany. Larger scale and broader service offering than ISP-Scholz, with overlapping structural and fire protection capabilities.
