STAR Specialists Engineering GmbH

Specialist engineering consulting, technical project support and calculation and documentation sets that hold up under review.

  • Specialist consulting
  • Calculation & documentation
  • Client app

What the work is

Calculation with a traceable path

Load cases, strength and stability verification, FE models checked against hand calculation. Every result in the report can be followed back to the assumption it came from.

Documentation built for the file

Calculation reports, drawing sets and revision trails prepared so that a reviewer, an auditor or the next engineer can read them years later without asking us what we meant.

Technical project support

We act as the engineering desk on your project for a defined phase: interface clarification, supplier documents, technical queries answered in writing instead of in a corridor.

Independent design review

A second opinion on a third-party design or calculation — what we agree with, what we would change, and which assumptions carry the result.

Companion app for clients

Our client app shows work packages, current revisions and open technical points on your phone, so the project status does not live in somebody's inbox.

On specialist engineering, and why it is mostly writing

Most technical problems that reach an outside specialist are not difficult because the physics is exotic. They are difficult because the question has never been written down precisely. A component cracks, a retrofit will not fit, a supplier's calculation arrives with four pages and no assumptions, a plant has to keep running while the modification is installed. In each case the first useful piece of engineering is a sentence: this is what we are verifying, under these loads, against this standard, with this result counting as pass.

That sentence is where we begin, and it is why the first thing we send back is never a price list. It is a scope — what we would examine, what we would deliberately leave out, which inputs we need from you, and what you would be holding at the end.

Calculation is only half of it

A number on its own has no shelf life. The same result is worth very little if nobody can reconstruct how it was obtained, and worth a great deal if the model, the load assumptions, the material data and the cross-check are all in one document with the revisions visible. So our calculation work ends in a report that a competent third party can audit without a phone call: assumptions listed before the maths, FE results compared against an independent hand estimate, deviations named rather than smoothed out.

This is also what makes the work survive personnel changes on your side. Projects outlive the people who started them. Documentation written for a reviewer, not for the author, is the only part of engineering that reliably transfers.

Working in a running plant

Industrial clients rarely have the luxury of an empty hall. Much of the specialist work is therefore planned around production: measurement campaigns in a shutdown window, modifications designed to be installed in stages, interim states checked as carefully as the final one. An interim state nobody calculated is the usual source of an unpleasant surprise.

What you can expect from us in practice

Precision is less about complicated models than about honest boundaries. We would rather tell you a question is outside our scope than produce a document that looks complete and is not.

How clients engage us

Four standard forms of mandate. Scope and effort are agreed in writing before anything starts.

Specialist consulting mandate

A defined technical question, examined by a named engineer and answered in a written statement.

  • Clarification of the question and assumptions
  • Technical assessment with sources named
  • Written statement you can forward
  • One round of follow-up questions
Most requested

Project engineering support

We carry the engineering desk through a project phase, from interface clarification to supplier document review.

  • Named engineer for the phase
  • Technical queries answered in writing
  • Supplier and sub-contractor document review
  • Open-point list kept current in the client app

Calculation and documentation package

The verification set for your file: models, hand cross-check and a report written to be audited.

  • Load cases and assumptions documented first
  • FE model plus independent hand verification
  • Calculation report with revision history
  • Drawing and document handover in your format

Independent design review

A second opinion on an external design or calculation, with findings sorted by what actually affects the result.

  • Check of assumptions and load paths
  • Findings graded by effect on the result
  • Recommended corrections, concretely stated
  • Review memo suitable for your client or authority

Scope, deliverables and revision rounds are fixed in the written proposal. Drawings and specifications sent to us are treated as confidential; an NDA can be signed before the first file arrives.

From first contact to handover

  1. Enquiry

    You describe the component, system or project phase, and send whatever already exists — sketch, drawing, specification, a photograph of the problem.

  2. Technical clarification

    A call with the engineer who would do the work. We settle the question, the applicable standard, the interfaces and what counts as a result.

  3. Written proposal

    Scope, deliverables, inputs we need from you, revision rounds and effort — on paper, before anything is started.

  4. Execution

    Work packages, current revisions and open technical points stay visible to you in the client app for the whole duration.

  5. Handover

    You receive the documentation set in your format, with the assumptions, the cross-checks and the remaining open points stated plainly.

Send us the technical question

Describe the problem in your own words. Precision helps, but a rough description is enough to start.

  • An engineer reads your enquiry — there is no sales desk in between.
  • You get back clarifying questions and then a written scope: what we would do, what you would receive.
  • Drawings and specifications are treated as confidential; an NDA can be signed before you send files.
