Pilz & Partner Ziviltechniker GmbH

What Pilz & Partner Ziviltechniker GmbH does

Pilz & Partner Ziviltechniker GmbH is a private Austrian civil engineering consultancy headquartered in Vienna, founded in 2018 by four licensed engineers (Markus Kozak, Gregory Pilz, Stefan Prugger, Michael Tillian) and operating under the regulated Ziviltechniker designation. The firm delivers integrated planning services for construction projects, with core practices in structural engineering (Tragwerksplanung), building physics (Bauphysik), inspection engineering (Prüfingenieur), and structural verification (Prüfstatik). Its technical foundation is BIM (Building Information Modeling) and 3D planning, used as a unified digital database for interdisciplinary collaboration across the project lifecycle. Complementary service lines include room acoustics and noise protection, facade building physics, and sustainable construction consulting, the last of which is supported by multiple klimaaktiv Gold, Silver, and Bronze certifications.

The firm serves a diversified Austrian client base spanning real estate developers, public institutions, and commercial/industrial clients. Disclosed project work includes the 6B47 Althan Quartier (€250M mixed-use development in Vienna), Austrian Post's €60M logistics hub, Radisson RED Vienna, IKEA Westbahnhof, the HBLFA Bio-Institut, the heritage-listed Palmhaus in Graz, and various school and municipal projects. Operations are distributed across three owned offices (Vienna HQ, Graz, Bad Aussee) and a partner-office network covering Klagenfurt, Gleisdorf, and Graz. Revenue is generated through project-based professional service fees for planning, statutory inspection, and consulting engagements, with pricing provided per project scope rather than through published rates. The firm has completed more than 800 projects since founding and has received the Holzbaupreis Steiermark 2019, GerambRose 2022, and GerambRose 2024, signaling recognized quality in sustainable and community-oriented construction. The company is privately held by the four founding partners with no external investors or parent entity.
