HPM Vermessung

What HPM Vermessung does

HPM Vermessung is a Wolfenbüttel, Germany-based partnership of consulting engineers (Partnerschaftsgesellschaft Beratender Ingenieure) operating as publicly appointed surveyors (Öffentlich bestellte Vermessungsingenieure, ÖbVI) authorized by the state of Lower Saxony. The firm provides two complementary service lines: (1) hoheitliche (state-authorized) cadastral surveying—land division, boundary determination, marking, building surveys, and official location plans under the Niedersachsen cost schedule—and (2) technical surveying for construction and industry, including 3D laser scanning, mobile mapping (NavVis VLX3), drone-based photogrammetry, lasertracker precision measurement to 0.1 mm, BIM modeling, and crane rail measurement via its proprietary RailRob automated rail measurement wagon. HPM serves property owners and notaries, municipalities and public administrations, construction companies, structural engineers, industrial operators, and renewable energy developers.

The firm employs approximately 50 staff, including six apprentices in a 3-year program, and is led by partners Wolfgang Möller (Dipl.-Ing., ÖbVI), Cornelius Bölsing (ÖbVI), and Kay Möller (M.Eng.). Revenue mechanics blend regulated per-unit fees for official cadastre work with project-based or hourly billing (Stundensätze) for technical services. Service delivery is entirely direct via phone, email, and contact form; there is no e-commerce or marketplace channel. Marketing relies on a comprehensive SEO-structured website, downloadable informational PDFs, and professional association membership (BDVI, Ingenieurkammer Niedersachsen). HPM claims regional market leadership in Wolfenbüttel. Operationally, the firm is technologically current—most recently deploying the NavVis VLX3 in December 2023—and combines long-standing regulatory authority with a modern measurement technology stack, but offers no public API, SDK, or AI-native product layer.

This is a mandatory regulatory workflow for all ÖbVI-certified surveyors in Lower Saxony. LGLN is the responsible cadastral authority.
• Niedersächsisches Ministerium für Inneres und Sport (Lower Saxony Ministry of the Interior and Sport)coreOthersThe Ministry serves as the supervisory authority for publicly appointed surveyors (ÖbVI) in Lower Saxony, regulating and overseeing HPM's official surveying activities under the NÖbVIngG law.
• BDVI – Bund der Öffentlich bestellten Vermessungsingenieure (Association of Publicly Appointed Surveyors)minorOthersProfessional association membership. HPM displays the BDVI logo on its website indicating membership. BDVI represents the professional interests of ÖbVI surveyors in Germany and may provide standards, training, and professional guidance.

Broad incumbents

• Hexagon AB (Leica Geosystems): Global provider of geospatial measurement technologies (laser scanners, laser trackers, GNSS) and software. Comparable as the platform/equipment vendor whose hardware (including laser trackers and 3D laser scanners) HPM and its peers deploy, and as a broader incumbent in the same surveying & metrology category.
• Trimble Inc. Provider of surveying, geospatial, construction, and BIM software and hardware. Comparable as another major incumbent operating across the same surveying, 3D-capture, and construction-technology stack that HPM's services depend on.
• Topcon Corporation: Global manufacturer of surveying, positioning, and construction technology. Comparable as another broad incumbent supplying the hardware and software ecosystem surrounding surveying, GNSS, and construction layout services.
• Autodesk, Inc. Provider of BIM and CAD software underlying much of the digital deliverable workflow in modern surveying. Comparable as the software incumbent whose BIM tools HPM uses to produce as-built models and digital twins.

Emerging players

• NavVis GmbH: OEM of the NavVis VLX3 mobile mapping system used by HPM. Comparable as a technology enabler in mobile mapping and digital twin capture — both companies serve the same downstream demand for indoor 3D scanning, BIM, and facility management.

Direct peers

• Vermessungsbüro Schwing & Dr. Neureither: German ÖbVI surveying firm offering both hoheitliche and technical surveying services across southern Germany. Comparable as a directly competing publicly appointed surveyor with a similar split between official cadastral work and engineering/industrial surveying.
• IBES Baugrundinstitut GmbH: German engineering firm providing geotechnical, surveying and monitoring services. Comparable for HPM's deformation monitoring, construction surveying, and infrastructure-related service lines.

Others

• Gemeinde ohne Grenzen / BDVI member firms: Collective of publicly appointed surveyors in Germany represented by BDVI. Comparable as the broader peer set of ÖbVI firms, representing typical regional competitors with similar service mixes and regulatory constraints.
• Geoinformation und Landesvermessung Niedersachsen (LGLN): State office for geoinformation and surveying of Lower Saxony. Comparable as the regulatory partner that receives cadastral submissions from HPM — also a public-sector actor in the same surveying domain but not a commercial competitor.

Regional players

• Vermessung Schmid (regional surveyor): Established German surveying firm operating in a different region from HPM. Comparable as a regional ÖbVI peer with a similar hoheitliche/technical service mix, illustrating the type of local competitor and potential roll-up target.
