Structural
​​​​​​​Engineering

High-quality architecture is our passion, the development of excellent structures for it our origin since 1983.

We listen to you, your dreams, your needs, your ideas. We are thrilled to transform them into structures, becoming integral parts of architectural concepts respecting and incorporating the input provided by all disciplines.

Practice

As an independent practice, we support public and private clients worldwide for projects of every scale, usage and complexity.

Specialised Generalists

Our strength is the unique combination of generalists thinking in broader terms and highly skilled specialists deeply diving into complex tasks.

We utilise the entire spectrum of construction materials to find the best solution for each individual project.

Engineered Value - Great Spaces!

We understand value engineering as the creation of great places and spaces for people, carefully embedded in their local environment.

Needless to mention that those must be developed according to your budget.

Arts below Ground

Deep below ground? High groundwater levels? Existing buildings found directly next to you? Want to build in the city centre on limited construction sites? Build top-down?

No worries! Our specialists develop efficient and buildable earth-retaining structures. For 40 years, clients have trusted our economic foundation designs in and on every kind of soil, ranging from shallow foundations to deep combined pile raft systems.

Arts Above

Think outside the box? Far outside?

Let’s join forces and follow that path together. B+G cooperates closely with artists and architects to invent structures being embedded in the artwork, temporary buildings and performances.

Being Dynamic - Controlled Performance

Structural design guarantees the safety of people living and working in our built environment. We accept this responsibility and deliver robust seismic designs and assessments for projects around the world.

We deliver structures with controlled dynamic response for tall buildings and sensitive usages such as industrial production, laboratories, and healthcare.

Challenge our experts for computational structural dynamics performing. We offer performance-based design, damping, blast protection, fatigue, and durability analysis.

Respect and Maintain

Existing structures? We love it!

We are at home whenever allowed to re-invent existing building stock. Our experts handle exceptional knowledge and experience in historic building materials and systems to evaluate or renovate existing structures.

Beyond

Innovation is a constant journey, and we are dedicated to innovative engineering.

Thinking beyond the state of the art of structural engineering and questioning the status quo of building design codes enables us to create top-notch structural solutions.

We are continuously optimising our workflow seeking better results and cooperation models. Curiosity and hunger for knowledge drives our team to test new materials, play with uncommon design tools and foster interdisciplinary teamwork.
