A well-coordinated team of highly qualified engineers from various fields who collaborate on an interdisciplinary level to design top-tier projects.
Goal-oriented, professional, curious, and innovative – that’s us: the HOLDFORT team.
We bring together architects, civil engineers, programmers, and engineers from the fields of structural engineering, mechanical engineering, automation, and planning. By complementing each other’s strengths, we provide the best possible services as a whole.
With over30 highly qualified employees, we can assemble an optimal team for each project.
We use our drive and commitment to energize, engage, and inspire others. With our spirit, we take on challenges, push boundaries, and experiment to create a better and more sustainable future.
Formerly known as PMJ Structural Engineering, we’ve been active in the German market for over 20 years.

Committed with heart and mind
Harnessing collective genius
Success through innovation
For many years, we have not only collaborated on diverse projects but also supported one another through training and integration activities that strengthen our sense of community. This shared journey fuels our identification with the HOLDFORT brand and drives us to push both ourselves and the company to new heights.
We are a team of experienced engineers—primarily in civil engineering, but also in mechanical engineering and automation. We handle the full scope of construction planning, from initial concepts and structural analysis to detailed workshop drawings. In addition, we design state-of-the-art industrial facilities, particularly for the automotive and energy sectors, and manage projects on behalf of investors. When documentation is missing for renovation or conversion projects, we use laser scanning to generate 3D models and construction drawings. With a forward-thinking mindset and progressive approach, we help build the future.
We meet the specific requirements of our customers from across Europe with openness and flexibility. We carry out entrusted tasks precisely and on time. By utilizing the latest 3D BIM technologies, we provide high-quality project solutions, adapting them to evolving parameters. As experienced project managers, we ensure reliable budget control and address potential risks promptly. Your vision of a revolutionized industry inspires and challenges us, and we embrace it with enthusiasm.
We don't focus on how much quality costs or how it can be balanced with deadlines and project profitability because we have found a way to combine these three seemingly contradictory goals.
Planning with the help of 3D BIM makes it easy to prevent collisions and errors resulting from inconsistencies in the documentation.
Close cooperation between structural engineers and customers is essential to precisely meet expectations
Constant contact with the customer and communication in an understandable language to better comprehend the customer's needs and underlying conditions.
The automation of repetitive tasks using proprietary software and the elimination of monotonous tasks, which are particularly prone to errors due to fatigue.
Standardization of design processes and optimization of work and thus greater predictability of results and simpler quality control.
Continuous improvement of qualifications, development of own tools and standards.
Involvement of team members and team quality control at every stage of the project.
Many design offices claim to prioritize quality and optimize their projects. Some are ISO 9001 certified, and others even implement selected quality control procedures. Unfortunately, the projects are often not optimal, and many of the procedures are not consistently applied. This is not due to the designers' lack of effort or bad intentions, but rather due to time pressure and the need to reduce costs in response to competition and tight project deadlines.
At HOLDFORT, we don't focus on how much quality costs or how it can be balanced with deadlines and project profitability because we have found a way to combine these three seemingly contradictory goals.
From our experience, most major design errors and project delays stem from a misunderstanding of customer needs, the inadequate (though not always insufficient) skill level of designers, or poor communication within the design team. This ultimately leads to the well-known conclusion that the weakest link in the quality chain is the human element. For this reason, we place great emphasis on maintaining strong relationships with our customers, systematically gathering all necessary information to fully understand their expectations, and sharing this information efficiently within the project team so that everyone knows where to find the required details at all times. We standardize all project processes and implement procedures to optimize workflow, ensuring more predictable results that are easier to verify. We develop our own software to automate labor-intensive design processes, which not only increases efficiency but also eliminates many sources of error. The entire design process takes place in a 3D environment, allowing us to avoid collisions and maintain project consistency when changes are made. Our designers are actively involved in the management process (turquoise organization) and are dedicated to teamwork and quality at every stage of the project. Their qualifications and working standards are continuously improved through ongoing development programs.
