What Estruturas de Concreto Rui Medeiros Ltda does

Estruturas de Concreto Rui Medeiros Ltda is a privately held Brazilian structural engineering firm founded on September 1, 1989 by civil engineer Rui Medeiros, headquartered in Curitiba, Paraná. The firm specializes in structural design of reinforced and prestressed concrete and metallic structures, using latest-generation structural calculation software to produce DWG and PDF project deliverables. Over 50 years of market activity (the founder's accumulated tenure including earlier consulting work), the firm has completed approximately 1,200 projects spanning residential and commercial buildings, industries, shopping centers, hospitals, reservoirs, and industrial floors, with execution footprint in Brazil and Paraguay.

The firm's service portfolio extends well beyond core design to include project supervision, on-site construction inspection (fiscalização), technical reports and expert opinions (laudos), structural pathology investigation, structural reinforcement, neighborhood impact assessments (laudo cautelar de vizinhança), technical advisory for architects and engineers, and Turn Key industrial project management. The pathology practice is a notable specialization, with more than 215 technical reports, opinions, and recovery/reinforcement projects delivered. The firm holds a distinct talent position via founder Rui Medeiros's continuous academic appointment at UFPR since 1979, where he teaches Building Structures, Prestressed Concrete, and Structural Pathology, and supervises master's and doctoral theses, creating a recruiting pipeline into the firm.

Commercially, the firm operates a direct sales-led, project-based professional services model with quote-based, non-publicly-disclosed pricing. Customers include construction companies and developers (ATH, Nakid Construções Civis, RAC Engenharia, RCF Construções e Incorporações), real estate group Grupo Barigui, the Tribunal de Justiça do Paraná, and retail operator Shopping Cidade. The firm has 5 employees, no external investment, no subsidiaries, and no parent company. In 2025, Fabiana Völker Mademann, a UFPR 2025 civil engineering graduate, was admitted as a partner, indicating a generational succession in process. Distribution relies on direct B2B engagement, the company website (with client portal), and a WhatsApp inquiry channel; no formal channel partner or reseller network exists.
