Mission
We are an engineering practice which specialises in planning and building in wood. Our clients and architects are interested in the outward design, function, sustainability, aesthetics and economic efficiency of their building projects.
We pay attention to construction, design, sustainability, quality assurance and cost optimisation. Irrespective of the products and producers, we look for the right construction solution for each building project.
People

Clients
...will find in us a trustworthy partner for his timber engineering needs. We listen to our clients‘ ideas and wishes and realise these using our extensive know-how. Deadlines,
Deadlines, project status, costs and any problems are all discussed openly.
Employees

Project management
Project management at PIRMIN JUNG is organised in such a way that we can exploit the company’s vast experience in each project. We have a uniform project philosophy; no matter which employee handles the project, and no matter how much experience they have: the client receives a solution from PIRMIN JUNG.
An experienced project manager is involved in the projects during the initial project phase, which deals with the structural support and system construction. In this the project manager is coached by PIRMIN JUNG. In the further phases, the project is handled by a project manager under the active supervision of a coach.
This way of organising projects ensures that there is always another manager who can take over if necessary and each project is overseen by more than one person.

- Upkeep and expansion of specialist knowledge
- Comprehensive knowledge management
QM
Engineering is a very precise science. We are an ISO 9001 certified company, which means quality management is an integral part of our processes. Our employees are responsible for the work they do, but receive close supervision in each phase of a project. This dual control brings security, especially to new employees, and helps to eliminate the source of mistakes. Should, however, something not go quite according to plan, we draw lessons from this experience as a company, which at the same time helps the personal learning process of each employee.
