Our architectural expertise spans a wide range of services including concept design, architectural design, interior design integration, structural and engineering design, urban planning, BIM coordination, project approvals and consulting. Whether you are planning a public building, a residential complex, an industrial facility or an urban masterplan, our team applies a structured and collaborative process that ensures clarity of vision and execution.

We emphasize sustainable and resilient design, integrating environmental strategies and modern technologies throughout the design process. With services such as 3D visualization, construction documentation and project supervision, we support clients at every stage, from feasibility studies and test fits to final construction and handover.

Our approach is rooted in thoughtful analysis, client engagement and cross-disciplinary coordination, allowing us to deliver architectural solutions that are well-balanced, performance-driven and ready for real-world use. Explore our service offerings below to understand how we can support your next architectural project with expert, end-to-end design and planning services.

The expertise of our engineers in the areas of HVAC, Electrical Installations, Plumbing, Automatic Fire Extinguishing Installations (AFGI), and Geodesy allows us to produce high quality building installations while maintaining consistency and coordination throughout the entire design and construction process. As a result of the company's substantial engineering expertise, we are able to solve specific problems rapidly and efficiently, optimizing the use of resources and time in implementing projects. For the project's Construction, Fire Safety, Road, Technology, Acoustics, and Park Planning components, we rely on long-term partners with extensive experience in the relevant field.

The full infrastructural needs of the building (street/road, electricity, water, sewerage, heat, and other public infrastructure) are also planned by us as part of the overall coordination and timely execution of the project.

As part of our commitment to sustainability and energy independence, we conduct research and design of photovoltaic systems for customers.

IPA provides its clients with the full spectrum of urban and urban planning services, including the development of project concepts, strategies, as well as layout plans. These services are essential to the successful implementation of investment projects.

Urban planners and architects work together to develop the project concept in order to achieve a balanced, attractive, and functional architecture and a sustainable urban environment.

IPA's urban planners assist clients in the early stages of research and design. They specify the requirements for preparing or amending an investment plan and provide advice on the timetable for realizing the investment. As a result of the urban analysis, the investor is able to determine the most efficient direction for the development of the project.

In partnership with innovative companies in the sector, we provide investment risk management, mediation services between the parties involved in a project.

A dedicated IPA team of specialists performs the overall coordination and approval of development plans and investment projects by all companies and government agencies for our clients. This saves them time, effort, and resources.

We provide consultation at the beginning of the project regarding the project's activities, risks, and approval deadlines, and manage the project until it has been successfully completed.

As a result of the rich experience and knowledge of the frequently changing regulatory requirements, the investment is effectively managed and deadlines are optimized for implementation.

The availability of assistance in the coordination and approval of projects distinguishes IPA as a responsible partner and is intended to relieve the investor of administrative tasks.

IPA's commitment to sustainability is put into practice through its range of services. Consultation, design, and assistance with project certification in accordance with international sustainability standards such as BREEAM and LEED.

As of 2021, IPA has been licensed as a consultant, auditor, and assessor for BREEAM certification.

Through the implementation of modern technological solutions, energy modeling, and simulation of the operational life of buildings, the IPA team strives to incorporate sustainable practices into each project.

We consult and advise our clients regarding ESG financing opportunities and best practices in this field. Projects that comply with ESG and sustainability standards offer investors a higher level of risk management during construction and cost reduction during operation.

Each project is recreated in digital reality by IPA's 3D artists. The detailed 3D visualization of spaces, volumes, and their fit within the environment enables clients to gain a better understanding of the future building's architecture, scale, and feel. Renderings in 3D are not only intended for investors, but also for the general public and potential buyers of real estate.

Visualization of buildings can take several forms, ranging from physical mock-ups, computer images, and short animations to full virtual reality experiences and virtual walks of buildings.

IPA provides its clients with comprehensive marketing services and materials. This includes 3D visualizations, 3D animations, proposals for project names and logos, and all other forms of visual representation. All of this is intended to facilitate understanding of the project and to create a sense of belonging for future tenants.

Thanks to its fully integrated BIM process, IPA provides its clients with fast, efficient, and quality design services. For the purpose of creating and implementing BIM standards at IPA, a dedicated BIM team has been established.

With BIM modeling and management, processes are optimized, coordination between participants is improved, and information embedded in 3D models can be used in a variety of ways. As a result, we are able to complete the design process more quickly and efficiently. We also minimize errors during construction, and guarantee the quality of the final product to a significant degree.

The use of BIM technology enables us to provide a variety of services, including 4D and 5D modelling, Reality Capture, Scan to BIM, Digital Twin, and many others.

Through project management, budgeting, and preparation of tender documents, IPA enhances the design process and ensures its clients receive timely, high-quality design and implementation. As a result of project management, goals and budgets are met in a timely manner.

From the initial stages of the project, we evaluate the potential investment size for the client, which provides valuable information to the client. Upon completion of the design phase, we prepare a detailed budget with specific values and parameters.

Detailed documentation facilitates the selection of the main contractor for the project, as well as ensuring accurate and high-quality execution.
