Electrical design that works on site.
Sebastian Schwarz, Electrical Project Engineer, Building Services (MEP). Electrical engineer (B.Eng., M.Sc.) with additional professional experience as a qualified electrician. Design and client representation across all HOAI work stages.
I know construction projects from three perspectives.
From execution, from design and from the client’s side.
As an electrician, I installed switchgear, building services and automation systems myself. As a project engineer and designer at an engineering consultancy, I designed and supported major construction projects in Munich. Across all HOAI work stages, from basic evaluation to post-completion services. As client representative at Helmholtz Zentrum München, I coordinated and supervised the construction projects on its Munich campus.
Today, I pass this knowledge on to students as a university lecturer.
What does that mean for you? My designs are not just compliant. They can actually be built. And I know what matters to the client.
My focus: electrical design for building services
Electrical systems are the nervous system of a building. Power supply, lighting, safety systems and data networks have to work together reliably. I design these systems for commercial and residential buildings and for industrial environments.
- Electrical design across HOAI work stages 1–9
- Cost groups 440 and 450 to DIN 276 (electrical systems; communication, safety and IT systems)
- Client representation for electrical building services
- Low-voltage systems, power distribution and grid connection to TAB and VDE-AR-N 4100
- Generation and storage systems on the low-voltage grid to VDE-AR-N 4105
- Design to DIN VDE 0100 and DIN 18015
- Lighting design with DIALux and emergency lighting
- Fire alarm systems and communication networks
- Design with AutoCAD and Revit
Looking for an electrical project engineer who supports your projects from basic evaluation to post-completion?
Complementary expertise
Two further fields back up my design work. They make the difference when buildings become technically demanding.
Energy technology
I size low-voltage networks and know switchgear and current-limiting systems from installation. I have carried out measurements on transformer substations and built battery storage systems. For building design, that means I understand the power supply from the grid connection to the final circuit.
Automation & control engineering
As an electrician, I designed, planned and implemented control and automation solutions, with SIMATIC S7, WinCC, Profinet and Profibus. That knowledge helps wherever building services and automation converge.
What you can expect from me
Expertise alone doesn’t make a good project. What matters is how you apply it. Four strengths make the difference.
Design informed by execution
I combine practical knowledge from installation with the theoretical foundation of an electrical engineer. I know how a design is built on site. That reduces queries, change orders and delays. And design errors are caught before they become expensive.
Both sides of the project
I know the designer’s role and the client’s. As a client representative, I know what owners care about: cost, schedule and quality. As a designer, I know how to achieve those goals technically.
Compliant and verifiable
I design to DIN VDE 0100, DIN 18015, TAB and the VDE application rules. Protective measures, fire protection and testing to DIN VDE 0100-410, -420 and -600 are not a formality for me. They are the foundation of every safe installation.
Knowledge I pass on
I know building services, energy technology and automation from practice and design. As a lecturer, I pass this knowledge on to the next generation of engineers. Teaching technology means understanding it in depth. Your project teams, your clients and every technical document benefit from that.
Projects that speak for themselves
Good design doesn’t show on paper. It shows in the finished building.
A career built step by step
Practice first. Then design. Then teaching. Each stage built on the one before.
Does your project need an electrical designer who knows the site?
A deadline is at risk. A design has to match execution. A client needs a competent representative for the electrical scope. In each case, you need someone who knows execution, design and the client’s side. Let’s talk.
