Engineering for the buildings and infrastructure that have to last.
Structure, ground, systems and data are coordinated in one model, so nothing is lost in the gap between two sets of drawings.
Figures our clients can check against the projects they name.
Founding Principal & CEO
“The best-performing structures are engineered early, while ideas are still cheap to change.”
Tommy founded Merkel Constructions in 1998 after a decade designing tall buildings across Europe, and holds a doctorate in structural engineering. Since then they have led the practice through more than six hundred commissions, from super-tall frames to fjord-spanning bridges, and still review every major structural scheme the studio puts its name to.
Co-founder & Chief Engineer
“A drawing is a promise. Site is where you find out whether you can keep it.”
Andreas co-founded Merkel Constructions and leads its engineering team, carrying a scheme from first concept through to the site work that proves it. He spends part of every month on site, and sets the inspection regime that every commission the studio delivers is signed off against.

Send us the drawing set, the constraint you keep running into, or a paragraph on the site. A principal engineer reads it and replies within two working days.
