What Sailer Stepan Tragwerkteam does

Sailer Stepan Tragwerkteam München GmbH is a privately held German consulting engineering firm (Beratende Ingenieure für Bauwesen) headquartered in Munich with a secondary office in Bamberg, founded in 1954 and operating as a GmbH. The firm delivers structural and civil engineering services across all primary construction methods — concrete (Massivbau), steel (Stahlbau), timber (Holzbau), and hybrid systems — covering new build, renovation, heritage preservation, special foundation engineering (Spezialtiefbau), concrete repair, building diagnostics and inspection. Its technical workflow is anchored in modern CAD tools and BIM methodology, with credentialed regulatory authority for structural review provided by a state-recognized Prüfingenieur since 2016.

The firm serves a diversified base of public-sector and corporate clients in Bavaria and beyond, including Stadtwerke München, the Bayerische Staatskanzlei, FC Bayern, BMW, Audi, the Deutscher Alpenverein, GEOVOL Unterföhring and the Staatliches Museum Ägyptischer Kunst, with a reference portfolio of over 260 documented projects spanning schools, museums, sports facilities, industrial buildings, geothermal infrastructure and Olympic-era heritage structures. Revenue is generated through professional-services fees for engineering design, structural analysis, and construction supervision on a project-by-project basis, with engagement sourced through direct client relationships and public tenders.

Sailer Stepan Tragwerkteam employs 59 professionals averaging 17 years of experience and 13 years of tenure, almost entirely TU Munich-educated, including three managing shareholders and multiple authorized signatories (Prokuristen). The firm combines structural and object planning under one roof, supported by in-house training of draftspersons, and has earned multiple industry awards (Deutscher Holzbaupreis 2013, Bayerischer Denkmalpflegepreis 2014, Deutscher Bauherrenpreis 2013). It operates without external investment and has grown organically across its 70-year history, with its most recent strategic action being the 2026 promotion of Dr. Manuela Hackenberg to managing shareholder, expanding the leadership bench.
