The interdisciplinary cooperation between architecture and engineering and modern
knowledge management have enabled ATP to became Europe’s leading integrated
design office.
1,500+ employees in thirteen offices across the DACH+CEE Regions, supported by inhouse
research, specialist design, and consulting companies, plan buildings for clients
from the research & industrial, retail, real estate, and health sectors.
Pioneer of integrated design with BIM (Building Information Modeling)
Today, integrated design is a prerequisite for high quality modeling and reducing
waste. It is the key to sustainable, resource-friendly, and energy-saving buildings. ATP
has been designing integrally for 45 years and BIM has been employed in all building
projects since 2012. ATP's cooperative integrated design culture is the result of many
years of interdisciplinary practice. In contrast with conventional, consecutive design
processes, integrated design enables all the advantages of BIM to be exploited in the
interests of sustainable design quality.
To this end, ATP makes full use of the "corporate structure" of the group by acting as a
learning organization that is permanently developing through the sharing of knowledge
between offices and specialist areas.
The future is green
Thanks to its in-house expertise, ATP is able to offer its clients the verticalization of its
range of services: In the spirit of the European Green Deal and in line with the need for
a CO2-neutral existence, expertise is pooled and employed both before and during the
construction process. As a result, the current considerable potential for waste in the
building industry can be minimized through lean processes and the careful use of
resources.
Consulting offices specializing in such areas as sustainability, process engineering, and
project development help clients to decide whether and which building measures are
necessary, well before the start of the design process. By focusing on the core process
that is due to take place within a building, the order quality is defined with the help of
a project strategy based on a feasibility study. This is followed by the first phase of the
integrated design process, which is oriented in line with a sustainable use period.
Throughout the entire design and construction process and right up to the point at
which the building is handed over to the facility management, an interdisciplinary team
of architects, structural and building services engineers, and site supervisors is headed
by a Lead Project Manager. Due to ATP's standardization of key design processes,
responsibility can be delegated within this team without any loss of quality.
Career and partnership
A wide range of career paths and opportunities are open to ATP's architects and
engineers. Expertise is developed and passed on in both the offices and the ATP
Academy. The ATP partnership (since 1990) of 8 partners, 45 associate partners, and
104 associates enables employees to demonstrate their share of corporate
responsibility and enjoy their share of corporate success.
Research and teaching
Due to its close cooperation with Vienna University of Technology and other
universities and universities of applied sciences, ATP permanently plays a leading role
in scientific research into integrated design and BIM. ATP is a founding member of the
DGNB, the ÖGNI, and IG Lebenszyklus Hochbau.
