What PEWA does

PEWA-PROJEKT s.c. Ł. Pilch i A. Pilch is a family-owned civil partnership (spółka cywilna) headquartered in Kraków, Poland, specializing in sanitary installation design for residential, commercial, and public buildings. The firm is operated by three generations of the Pilch family — director and designer Łukasz Pilch, assistant designer Anna Pilch, and senior designers Władysław Pilch and Elżbieta Pilch — and markets itself as carrying more than 40 years of combined specialist experience. Services are delivered to property developers (ATAL S.A., KCI Development, INTER-BUD, NOVO MAAR, SALWATOR CITY, among others), public institutions (Jagiellonian University, Gmina Miejska Kraków, Powiat Przasnyski), and private homeowners across Poland, with documented project coordination reaching into European offices.

The firm's core technology stack is Building Information Modeling (BIM) applied to sanitary installations — water-pipe, sewage, gas, and thermal networks — alongside HVAC, sprinkler/fire protection systems, conventional and alternative heat source design (gas boilers and heat pumps), and energy performance certification. Differentiated technical capabilities include LEED certified green building design and specialized clean room / overpressure ventilation work (Małopolskie Centrum Biotechnologii for Jagiellonian University, MMC Brainville multimedia center at 17,740m²). The firm partners with electrical installation and low-current systems designers to offer multi-disciplinary documentation packages, though it does not itself disclose AI, automation, or proprietary software capabilities beyond mainstream BIM tooling.

PEWA-PROJEKT operates as a sales-led professional services firm using direct client engagement and project portfolio showcasing via its website and LinkedIn page. Revenue is generated through quote-based project fees with no publicly disclosed pricing. The firm has completed 15+ multi-family residential complexes (including the 52,000m² Salwator City development) and 5+ public buildings, with no external institutional investors, no parent company, and no disclosed funding history. The legal form is a private civil partnership with no subsidiaries and no public ticker.
