In the construction industry, our design and consulting assignments are complex. With creativity, joy, and a network of ideas, we are confident that we can meet these challenges.
Openness, self-responsibility, and people who are led by their aspirations are the fertile soil for this creativity.
A culture of appreciative collaboration enables trust between project partners with diverse needs.
The foundation of our activities are solid technical know-how, mutual group support, and a culture in which errors are dealt with constructively.
We weigh the consequences of our actions carefully.
These are our contributions to a sustainable and better life-quality.
History
The consulting engineering office was founded by Kurt Wenzel in Vienna in 1960. In 1972 it was taken over by Peter Fritsch and Gerd Chiari.

Robert Schedler
and is supported by the following authorized partners

Hanno Töll
In the mid-1980s FCP had approx. 20 employees, today the office – including associated companies – employs approx. 400 persons.
The design activities comprise a wide spectrum with assignments in the field of structural and civil engineering. These engineering services are performed both for projects in Austria and abroad.
These successful design services of the last few decades were confirmed by the Austrian Consulting Award.
Sustainability with FCP
We are proud of having received the bronze medal in the internationally recognized sustainability assessment by Ecovadis and reached a position above the sector average in all assessment areas including environment, sustainable provision, ethics as well as employment and health protection). Furthermore, our environmental management system has been certified according to ISO 14001 for several years.
We annually calculate our carbon footprint including the mobility of our employees and our business trips. The constant improvement of our environmental performance is very important to us. We managed to implement many improvement measures like the continuous adjustment of the vehicle fleet to electric vehicles, support of our employees for climate-friendly mobility (job ticket, home office and campaigns like “FCP radelt um die Welt” (FCP cycles around the world)), as well as our ongoing efforts to reduce our business trips to a minimum and perform them in an environment-friendly way.
In addition, we founded the KliNa initiative (climate and sustainability) in 2020 to integrate environment and climate protection into our services.
Climate-friendly Mobility
In terms of a climate-friendly mobility management FCP.VCE continuously implements further measures.
The following already belongs to our daily routine:
Mobility of staff members
- All staff members get support for using public transport in Vienna by means of the job ticket (annual ticket for Wiener Linien).
- The introduction of one home office day per week is gladly accepted by the staff members. Commuting is thus reduced.
- FCP takes part in the campaign “Wien radelt” (Vienna is cycling). Our company-internal aim is to cycle around the world every year (= 40,075 km).
Business trips
- Business trips shall be preferably made by railway.
- Flights shall be avoided and replaced with teleconferences if possible.
- Company-owned bikes are available to employees for official appointments outside the office.
- New company vehicles are selected due to their environmental compatibility apart from safety aspects and fitness for work.
