ÖNACE does not distinguish between Ziviltechniker and engineering offices with a trade licence. Whether an office holds ZT authorisation is shown in the federal chamber’s directory in each individual case.

Architecture offices, chartered civil engineers and architects (Ziviltechniker), engineering offices, surveyors and technical testing bodies: for building product manufacturers, software vendors and specialist publishers who want to reach planners by post or enrich their CRM.

Official statistics: 19,284 businesses in Austria according to Statistics Austria, structural business statistics 2024 (table G_UNT1) (reference year 2024, table created 30 June 2026). Division 71 architectural and engineering activities, technical testing and analysis. This is the size of the market, not the size of our database.
The industry corresponds to ÖNACE division 71. Architecture and engineering offices (group 71.1) make up most of it, plus technical testing and analysis (71.2).
Austria has two professional routes for planners: Ziviltechniker (architects and consulting engineers) with their own chamber, and engineering offices holding a trade licence. Both are in the same ÖNACE division.
| ÖNACE 2008 | Official title | For your selection |
|---|---|---|
| 71.11 | Architectural activities | building, interior and landscape architecture |
| 71.12 | Engineering activities and related technical consultancy | structural engineering, building services, building physics, surveying |
| 71.20 | Technical testing and analysis | testing bodies and laboratories; can be excluded |
Professional authorisation can be checked individually for both groups.
These 15 columns are included.
Class 71.12 combines very different disciplines, from structural design to surveying. A selection by discipline is not possible from the classification alone; the office’s website usually shows it.
Many planners are sole traders. For a postal mailing, the information duty under Art. 14 GDPR and the right to object apply.
Marketing emails and sales calls to design offices require prior consent (§ 174 TKG 2021). Letters are the usual way to send product information to planners.
We manufacture façade systems and are looking for architecture offices (71.11) in Vienna, Lower Austria and Styria with a website, for a postal mailing with design documents. Please exclude testing bodies. How many records is that?
