What Vermessungsburo Riemenschneider does

Vermessungsbüro Riemenschneider GmbH & Co. KG is a German engineering surveying firm founded in 1990 by Stephan and Andreas Riemenschneider and headquartered in Rodgau in the Frankfurt metropolitan area. The firm provides professional surveying services across railway infrastructure (its primary vertical), building construction, civil engineering, and heritage preservation, producing 3D state documentation, BIM models, digital terrain models, and as-built records for infrastructure owners, engineering firms, and public clients.

Its core technology stack combines multiple measurement modalities — terrestrial laser scanning (since 2005), GNSS/GPS, tacheometry, kinematic rail measurement via SiTrack:One (since 2019), drone-based LIDAR (since 2020), and NavVis VLX mobile mapping (since 2022) — integrated into BIM and CAD deliverables. The firm employs approximately 40 staff including certified BIM coordinators and five trained drone pilots, holds ISO 9001 (since 2013) and ISO 45001:2018 (since 2020) certifications, and is registered as a consulting engineer with Ingenieurkammer Hessen.

Revenue is generated exclusively through project-based professional services contracts, anchored by a framework agreement with Deutsche Bahn AG in place since 2000. Customer acquisition is direct (enterprise field sales) targeting railway operators, construction companies, engineering firms, and public infrastructure authorities, primarily within the Frankfurt region. Operations remain regional with no disclosed geographic expansion beyond Greater Frankfurt, and the company is private, family-controlled, and not externally funded.

Others

• Spitzke SE: Major German rail construction and infrastructure services firm — comparable only loosely, as a customer/ecosystem participant that procures rail surveying services from firms like Riemenschneider.
• DB Engineering & Consulting GmbH: Deutsche Bahn's in-house engineering consultancy, which competes for some rail surveying scopes and is also a potential partner or upstream buyer — directly relevant as the buyer-side counterpart to Riemenschneider's DB framework work.

Broad incumbents

• Topcon Positioning Systems: Global surveying and positioning equipment vendor supplying GNSS, total stations, and mobile mapping hardware — broadly relevant as both a technology provider and indirect competitor via service offerings in adjacent geographies.
• Trimble Inc. Global surveying, geospatial, and construction technology vendor — relevant because its equipment and BIM software underpin much of the German surveying service industry, including Riemenschneider's workflow.
• ARCADIS Germany (Arcadis Germany GmbH): Large global design and engineering consultancy with a German presence in rail and infrastructure surveying — competes for the same tenders as Riemenschneider but at materially larger scale.
• Hexagon Geosystems (Leica Geosystems): Global surveying equipment and software provider whose Leica scanners, GNSS, and mobile mapping systems are used by Riemenschneider; operates broadly across all surveying end markets rather than specialising in service delivery.

Direct peers

• Hansa Luftbild German Air Survey GmbH: German aerial surveying and mapping firm serving infrastructure, rail, and energy clients with photogrammetric and LIDAR-derived geospatial data — comparable in serving rail and large-area infrastructure customers.
• Swissphoto Group (formerly BSF Swissphoto): European aerial surveying and 3D mapping firm providing drone-based LIDAR, photogrammetry, and BIM-ready deliverables for rail and infrastructure clients — directly comparable in mobile-mapping and rail corridor work.
• IGS-Ingenieure GmbH & Co. KG: German engineering surveying firm offering laser scanning, BIM, deformation monitoring, and infrastructure surveying for transportation and construction clients — directly comparable in service mix and customer base to Riemenschneider.

Regional players

• Vermessungsbüro Reinhardt + Partner: Long-established German engineering surveying firm providing terrestrial surveying, BIM, and 3D laser scanning for infrastructure projects — comparable in service offering though based in a different German region.
