Kppk Ziviltechniker Gmbh

What Kppk Ziviltechniker Gmbh does

KPPK Ziviltechniker GmbH is an interdisciplinary civil engineering and technical building planning firm founded in 2005 in Vienna, Austria. The firm operates as a licensed Ziviltechniker under the Austrian Civil Engineers Act and functions as a technical general planner, coordinating integrated teams across structural engineering, building physics, fire protection, energy and building technology, and quality management. It is led by four managing partners (DI Dr. Klaus Petraschka, DI Ralf Staadt, DI Roman Flores Espinoza, DI Harald Pönninger) and employs 40+ specialists, including multiple klimaaktiv Expert Partners and state-certified expert witnesses. The firm has two offices — Vienna (headquarters, Gumpendorfer Straße 132) and Linz (Stifterstraße 22) — and serves institutional, public sector, and commercial clients across Austria.

The company generates revenue primarily through professional services: project-based engineering planning for construction projects acquired via competitive tendering, architect/developer referrals, and direct client relationships. Customer engagements span marquee projects including Klinik Floridsdorf (800 beds), Austrian Airlines Office Park II (31,500 m²), Raiffeisenbank branches, Porsche centers, ÖGB Catamaran (40,000 m²), the Donauturm Vienna renovation, and the Windkraft Simonsfeld headquarters (klimaaktiv Gold 1000/1000 points). KPPK has also developed two proprietary, trademarked software tools — R.O.S.E.® (a subscription web application for energy and building assessment, licensed via rose-kppk.at) and REACT® (a CO2 reduction tool for resource-efficient construction) — adding recurring software revenue to the services core.

The firm's competitive positioning rests on its licensed civil engineer status, sustainability credentials (klimaaktiv program partner, EMAS validated, BGF workplace health promotion seal), and ecosystem memberships (buildingSMART Austria, Austrian Standards, ANKÖ, IG Architektur). Awards include the Staatspreis Holzbau 2025, BIG SEE Architecture Award 2026, International Architecture Award 2023 (Chicago Athenaeum), Bauherrenpreis 2018, and the Dorferneuerungspreis 2023. Business is acquired via direct relationships, competitive tendering, and architect referrals; engineering fees are project-scoped while R.O.S.E.® is priced on annual subscription terms with automatic renewal.

Scale indicators2 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Werner Sobek Group: Stuttgart-headquartered engineering firm specializing in sustainable structural design with global offices. Comparable sustainability focus and structural engineering expertise, but operates at significantly larger scale than KPPK.
• ATP architects engineers: Integrated architecture and engineering firm with offices across Austria, Germany, and CEE, covering structural design, building physics, and energy planning under one roof. Comparable integrated 'planer' model to KPPK at significantly larger scale.
• Schlaich Bergermann Partner (SBP): Stuttgart-based structural engineering firm of international scale, known for landmark cultural and sports projects globally. Larger, more established competitor in the same structural/civil engineering category as KPPK.
• Drees & Sommer SE: Large German real-estate and engineering consultancy covering project management, sustainability, and construction consulting across Europe. Comparable sustainability/ESG consultancy capability to KPPK but at much greater scale and breadth.

Direct peers

• iC consulenten ZT GmbH: Vienna-headquartered interdisciplinary engineering consultancy offering structural, building physics, environmental, and project management services across Austria and Central Europe. Most direct Austrian peer to KPPK's technical general planner model.
• Werkraum Ingenieure ZT GmbH: Austrian structural and civil engineering consultancy with offices in Vienna and Linz, working on cultural, public, and educational projects. Same DACH geography and similar project mix to KPPK.
• FCP Fritsch, Chiari & Partner ZT GmbH: Austrian ZT engineering firm providing structural design, building physics, and construction management for institutional and commercial projects. Comparable in size, scope, and Vienna-based positioning to KPPK.
• Treberspurg & Partner ZT GmbH: Vienna-based structural engineering firm focused on sustainable timber and hybrid construction in Austria and Germany. Direct peer for the timber construction, klimaaktiv-oriented project work that drives KPPK's award wins.
• Bollinger + Grohmann GmbH: German/Austrian structural engineering consultancy with offices across DACH, working on cultural, educational, and sustainable building projects. Closely comparable practice model to KPPK with broader geographic reach.

Others

• ClimatePartner Austria / klimaaktiv consultancies: Sustainability consulting and climate certification providers that compete for klimaaktiv/ESG-related mandates adjacent to KPPK's sustainability planning work; they enable rather than directly compete, but overlap on decarbonization advisory for Austrian construction.
