Novak&Partner

What Novak&Partner does

The Novak&Partner name appears in the firmographics block (8 employees, Praha 2, founded 1992); the substantive operational data provided describes Valbek, a Czech design engineering office (projekční kancelář) with a tradition in linear construction projects since 1990. The firm's core business is multi-disciplinary engineering design across 20 specialized fields, organized into six service areas: design/engineering (civil and industrial buildings, roads, bridges, tunnels, railways, water management, statics, technological complexes, engineering, visualization); surveys (geodesy, geological and geotechnical surveys, building-technical surveys, soil mechanics laboratory, ecological services); consultations (technical assistance, technical supervision); realization (bridge construction); R&D (software development for construction, BIM); and sustainability (green projects, sustainable landscape program). The company is structured under VALBEK-EU, a.s. as the parent holding entity with Valbek, spol. s r.o. as its wholly-owned core operating subsidiary, led by CEO Ing. Lukáš Hruboň, MBA.

The underlying technology stack includes BIM (Building Information Modeling), proprietary software development for the construction sector, and an in-house soil mechanics laboratory that produces proprietary testing data. The firm holds ČSN EN ISO 9001, 14001, 45001, and ISO/IEC 27001:2014 certifications, qualifying it for public-sector infrastructure tenders.

Revenue is generated through project-based professional services contracts for engineering design, construction supervision, technical assistance, surveys, and R&D. The go-to-market is direct enterprise sales targeting government infrastructure managers (Czech Road Infrastructure Managers, municipal water utilities) and select private industrial clients (e.g., Konplan Plzeň), with operations across Czech Republic, Slovakia, Sweden, and Ukraine. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and follows a project-based quotation model. Note: the collected source data is predominantly about Valbek (450+ employees, founded 1990); the firmographics block describes Novak&Partner (8 employees, founded 1992) — these appear to be distinct entities and the underlying data inconsistency is flagged for resolution.
