Manens KSA

What Manens KSA does

Manens S.p.A. is an Italian architecture and engineering firm founded circa 1970 and headquartered in Padova, operating as a private Società per Azioni. The company delivers integrated multidisciplinary design combining architecture, structural engineering, mechanical and electrical systems design, sustainability consulting, and construction management under a single contractual framework. Its service portfolio is organized into five core lines: Progettazione Integrata (Integrated Design), Project and Construction Management, Comfort and Sustainability, Environment, and Specialist Services, served across six verticals with healthcare, education and research, airports, commercial and hospitality, heritage, and data centers. Manens employs BIM methodology, digital twin capabilities, and building management system (BMS Edge) tooling to coordinate design through construction and into facility operations, and holds credentialed expertise in LEED, WELL, and CasaClima certification regimes.

The firm generates revenue through professional-services fees on complex, multi-year public and private commissions, priced per project rather than via published rate cards. Projects are secured through competitive public tenders, direct commissions, and ATI (Associazione Temporanea di Imprese) joint ventures with peer architecture and engineering firms. The company maintains four Italian offices (Padova HQ, Verona, Bari) plus international offices in Riyadh (Saudi Arabia, regional HQ), Bucharest, Belgrade, and Lugano, supporting cross-border mandates such as the Città della Salute e della Ricerca in Milan (€560M+ construction value, 200,000 sqm, 650 beds) and Saudi Arabian projects including the Security Forces Medical Cities and Desert Dragon Data Center. In 2023 Manens acquired STEAM S.r.l., and in 2026 it co-founded the Manensin2next joint venture with in2it S.r.l., which subsequently signed a reseller agreement with Provenant to distribute a Digital Product Passport platform aligned with EU ESPR compliance for the AECO sector. The firm is led by CEO Giorgio Finotti and was ranked 194th in ENR's 2025 Top 225 International Design Firms.
