About FCP
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.

In the mid-1980s FCP had approx. 20 employees, today the office – including associated companies – employs approx. 350 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.
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.
