Drawings, data and costs

Architecture & engineering · Central Europe

From urban concept to building permit

We design and engineer buildings and parts of cities — then steer them through the permitting process to a final, binding decision. A Polish practice of around 30 specialists, twelve years of delivering for developers, industry and public institutions.

Why us

Between a finished design and the first shovel lie dozens of decisions, opinions and approvals. That is where projects lose the most time.

At BZB Projekt architecture and engineering go together, and we run the administrative side ourselves. We draw and we calculate — but above all we take the case through the authorities, and we talk to the neighbourhood before the neighbourhood starts to object. For an international investor that means one contract and one point of contact instead of four.

What we do

We turn development needs into drawings, data and costs

Eleven areas of practice, from investment site analysis and cost modelling through design and approvals to the conversation with people living next to the site.

Site development plan — an investment plot with the proposed hall outline

Investment site analysis

Whether the plot takes what you plan to build — and how much of it. Legal status, zoning, capacity, risks.

Regenerated post-industrial quarter with a city square and a promenade

Urban design & master planning

Master plans, new districts and phasing strategies for large sites.

Park with a retention basin, a stream and planted greenery

Blue-green infrastructure

Surface retention, urban greenery and ventilation built into the layout, not added at the end.

Kamienica po rewitalizacji

Revitalisation & post-industrial regeneration

Heritage buildings and former industrial sites brought back into use, with conservation approvals.

Budynek użyteczności publicznej

Educational & administrative buildings

Public-sector projects with complete tender documentation and cost schedules.

Budynek wielorodzinny

Multifamily housing

From concept through detailed design to site supervision, with the unit mix agreed against what actually sells.

Osiedle domów jednorodzinnych

Single-family housing & estates

Individual houses and complete estate layouts with subdivision, internal roads and utilities.

Obiekt produkcyjno-magazynowy

Warehouses & industrial buildings

Halls, production plants and logistics centres, including road layout and utilities.

Infrastruktura transportowa

Consents & building permits

We run the administrative procedure end to end — also for designs prepared by others.

Budynek biurowy

CAPEX / OPEX analysis

Investment and operating costs, calculated while changing the solution still costs only design time.

Punkt informacyjny inwestycji

Social communication

Information points, consultations and day-to-day contact with residents during construction.

Selected references

We worked on projects that changed a city

Two projects we are asked about most often. In both cases BZB Projekt was part of the team — the investment, and the awards that came with it, belong to the client.

Fuzja, Łódź

A former power-plant quarter turned into a mixed-use district with housing, offices, culture and public space. Developer: Echo Investment. In March 2025 the project won two MIPIM Awards in Cannes, including Best Urban Regeneration Project. We worked on it.

Łódź Fabryczna

The underground railway station and multimodal interchange at the heart of the largest transport investment in the city's history. We worked on it.

Clients & recognition

Twelve years of delivering for Europe's leading investors and institutions

Credibility here is a list of names, not a list of adjectives.

Institutional alignment

We work in accordance with the principles of UNESCO Ecohydrology and the European Regional Centre for Ecohydrology of the Polish Academy of Sciences, UN Global Compact, UNDP and the European Commission. For a public-sector investor that means documentation which holds up when funding applications are assessed; for a private one, arguments that work in the room with the municipality.

Where we show up

Eleven years on international markets

Since 2015 we have been where investment decisions get made — MIPIM in Cannes and EXPO REAL in Munich seven times each, plus BATIMAT, Futurebuild, Batibouw, Bygg Reis Deg and Expo 2025 in Osaka. We also travel as part of the delegation on the economic missions of the Polish Chamber of Commerce: Nigeria, Zimbabwe, South Africa and Mozambique. In 2025 we sat in the Polish delegation to the European Parliament of Enterprises in Brussels.

Building community

We help build the community we work in

We are part of the local community and have spent years helping to build it.

Hikes in the mountains for company owners. The conversations that do not fit inside a conference room.

Entrepreneurs’ Ball

The annual gathering of the regional business community.

Business Mixer for the City’s 600th Anniversary

A networking event built for the city’s jubilee.

Business & Walk

City walks where you talk about the city while walking through it.

LodzArte Foundation

A foundation we co-founded.

#BuildingBridges

Building business bridges — and the relationships that hold them up.

#WeBuildThisCity

In rock&roll of course ;)

SEWC 2027

Structural Engineers World Congress — the tenth edition and the first in Poland. The congress is run by a foundation we co-founded and help to deliver.

We also take an active part in the institutions that shape the direction of our city, our region and the Polish construction industry: the Council of Łódź University of Technology, the Council for Innovation and Development of its Faculty of Civil Engineering, the City of Łódź Revitalisation Committee, the Polish Chamber of Construction and the construction committee of the Polish Chamber of Commerce.

Tell us about the project

We reply within two working days. The more we know about the site and the plan, the more concrete our proposal will be — and if the project cannot be done in that shape, we will say so straight away.
