Bern/Darmstadt - Die BKW Gruppe hat die Planquadrat Elfers Geskes Krämer und Partner GmbH erworben. Mit der Fusion will BKW das Leistungsangebot auf dem Gebiet der Architektur und die Präsenz in Südwestdeutschland erweitern.
The Bern-based BKW Group intends to significantly expand its presence in southwest Germany. This is according to a media release in which BKW announces the acquisition of the architecture and urban planning firm Planquadrat Elfers Geskes Krämer und Partner GmbH. Planquadrat, with 160 employees, is one of the larger architectural firms in the Rhine-Main region. The Darmstadt-based company specialises in residential construction, administrative building and hotel construction as well as logistics and the construction of laboratory buildings. The broad range of services also includes an independent department for urban planning.
Planquadrat is involved in both public and private tenders. Founded in 1993 by the three namesakes, the architectural firm has since associated two further partners. The company has a stable, wide-ranging and long-term clientele, which is now being integrated into BKW’s portfolio. Planquadrat’s broad range of services strengthens the BKW engineering network in all service phases of object planning, especially for general planning projects, the statement says.
