This is how we work! – An Introduction to the office of Studio IN-EX
We are constantly and flexibly adapting to market changes and have integrated parts of the Western corporate culture into IN-EX’s values and daily life, while successfully maintaining our family-like atmosphere.
In the first decade of the 2000s, large multinational companies were already present in large numbers in Hungary. Many were attracted by their Western corporate culture, their modern office environment and the many optional fringe benefits and services. But they had one big disadvantage compared to small and middle-sized enterprises: they were lacking the family-like environment at the workplace. When our company was founded in 1997, we were just a handful of engineers who believed in continuous improvement and innovative, future-oriented technology. This is the approach that has led us to use state-of-the-art closed-BIM technology in one of Budapest’s first-class office buildings. We are constantly and flexibly adapting to market changes and have integrated parts of the Western corporate culture into IN-EX’s values and daily life, while successfully maintaining our family-like atmosphere. By introducing weekly health promotion services in the office, such as massages and back exercise, we have made many of our colleagues’ weekdays more comfortable by successfully relieving or preventing back and neck pain from sitting at our desks in the office. We have also created a large community space and a games room so that we can organise community-building activities or just relax together. It is of paramount importance to us that all members of our team spend their working days in a comfortable and ergonomic office environment. It is our experience that they are more motivated and energetic, so we can work together more smoothly. We believe that today’s forward-thinking design firms need not only to be at the forefront of innovative technologies, but they also need to create an ergonomic working environment and to ensure that colleagues feel physically and mentally recharged. Do you agree? If so, join us and let us design the buildings of the future together!

From idea to impact
At IN-EX, we believe that our greatest asset is the knowledge, experience and curiosity of our people. The Innovation Hub was created to ensure that our engineers’ ideas do not remain isolated suggestions: we give them space, develop them together, and take initiatives that create real value all the way through to implementation.
Structural Challenges of an Automated Warehouse System and a BIM-Based Solution
Our project serves as a good example of how adapting existing industrial buildings to modern technologies can present a complex engineering challenge. The implementation of the automated high-bay warehouse system involved not only a technological conversionbut also the adaptation of an existing reinforced concrete hall structure to new operational, structural, and fire safety requirements.
New Technology, Existing Structure: A Steel Structural Solution for the Conversion of an Automated High-Bay Warehouse
During the interior conversion of a high-bay warehouse attached to a manufacturing plant, it became necessary to install a state-of-the-art automated storage system. In the first phase of the project, we were commissioned to assess, at the conceptual design stage, whether the existing structural framework was suitable for accommodating the new technological system and to determine what structural modifications would be required to implement the conversion.
One Office, One Model: The Benefits of 3D Design and Multidisciplinary Collaboration
STUDIO IN-EX is a multidisciplinary design studio where almost every design discipline is represented under one roof. Every day, our colleagues experience the benefits of having designers from different disciplines work side by side, within a shared closed BIM environment and in the same office. What are these benefits in practice? We spoke to Lilla Vámos, one of our low-voltage systems designers, about her experience.
Case Study: Saving on Investment Costs Through Smart Warehouse Design
We believe that the investment cost of a project can be influenced to a significant extent during the design phase. For this reason, our approach goes beyond simply meeting the applicable requirements. We also investigate alternative technical solutions that can provide the same level of technical performance and safety while resulting in lower investment costs.
Model Checking Is Not About Finding Errors
In model-based design, a BIM model is no longer just a 3D representation. A well-structured model contains geometry, information, and discipline-specific relationships in a single source of truth. It drives drawings, quantity take-offs, schedules, equipment lists, technical data deliverables, and serves as the common platform for multidisciplinary coordination.
