The art of engineering. At ZPF Ingenieure AG, we advise and support clients and planning partners from the initial idea onwards, throughout all processes pertaining to construction: competitions, design planning, implementation planning and site supervision for technically demanding large-scale engineering projects, such as museums, industrial buildings, hospitals and schools. Our high standards regarding architecture and technical quality lead to extraordinary results. The fascinating world surrounding the art of engineering enthuses us. With this enthusiasm, we make construction projects take shape and bring them to success – with a portfolio that goes beyond the usual engineering services. Methodology. WOur strategy is to think through the various options. In each case, we find the optimal unique solution in steel, concrete, wood or masonry. Alongside special solutions, such as complex steel and concrete structures, or seamless exposed concrete and masonry facades, our portfolio also includes composite structures and earthquake resistance measures. All the while, we see the materials (steel, concrete, wood or masonry) as a means to an end: they are derived from the ideal technical structure Added value. Our way of working also generates added value for owners and investors because we set high standards regarding architecture and technical quality, and combine these with efficiency. With our first-class consulting service and implementation planning, we also achieve considerable cost savings. Anyone who understands a building as a whole, incorporating all lots and interfaces into their thinking, through to acoustics and the building services equipment, also has its overall costs in view – and can save millions. This promise applies not only to the direct construction costs, but also to the building's cost-effectiveness throughout its entire service life.
