We design structures that stand the test of time

We design, review and supervise load-bearing structures – from calculation to the last reinforcement drawing, from foundations to roof. We work in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia and Montenegro.

About

We were founded in 2020, but our engineers' experience goes back decades – on bridges, high-rise buildings, deep excavations and construction sites.

  • 2020.company founded in Sarajevo
  • 3locations: Sarajevo, Makarska, Podgorica
  • Adriatic SeaSarajevoMakarskaPodgorica

We do structures – and only structures. We design reinforced concrete, prestressed, composite, steel, timber and geotechnical structures, from the first sketch of the load-bearing system to the last reinforcement drawing. Analysis, BIM model, connection details and construction drawings are produced by the same team, so what reaches the site is exactly what was calculated.

We hold licences for design, design review and site supervision in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Republika Srpska and Brčko District. Through iNSTRUCTA Makarska d.o.o. we work in Croatia and the wider EU market, and through iNSTRUCTA d.o.o. Podgorica in Montenegro. Our projects stand in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Hungary, Germany, Peru, Georgia and the USA.

Services

We work exclusively on the structural part of a project – but we do all of it: structural concept, analysis, construction drawings and supervision on site.

  • Building construction

    Residential, commercial and public buildings from concept to detailed design – in reinforced and prestressed concrete, steel, timber and composite systems.

  • Civil engineering

    Bridges, viaducts and overpasses on motorways, urban roads and railways, and rehabilitation of bridges that have reached the end of their service life.

  • Structures

    Static, dynamic and seismic analysis for structures where a standard solution is not enough: long spans, prestressing, complex details and connections.

  • Geotechnics

    Foundations, excavation support, retaining walls, ground anchors and slope stability – including where the neighbouring building stands right at the edge of the excavation.

  • Refurbishment

    Condition assessment of existing structures and design of repair, strengthening, vertical extensions and changes of use.

  • BIM

    Structural information models in Revit, Allplan and ProtaBIM, coordination with architecture and MEP, and openBIM exchange via IFC.

  • Drawings

    Formwork, reinforcement, post-tensioning and steel shop drawings – drawings the site can build from without further questions.

  • Renewables

    Wind turbine foundations, solar plant substructures and load-capacity checks of roofs for photovoltaic installations.

  • Supervision and review

    Site supervision of structural works and review of other engineers' designs – to the same criteria we apply to our own.

Drawings

The drawing is what finally reaches the site. Formwork plans, reinforcement drawings, tendon layouts and shop drawings are produced by the same team that does the analysis.
