Under the name Birch & Krogboe the company was founded in 1912 as the first consulting engineering company in Denmark. The founders were the two engineers Ludvig Birch and Jacob O. Pedersen Krogboe. In the early years the company dealt primarily with the construction of hospitals and residential buildings, including Gentofte Hospital and Rigshospitalet. Today, Alectia participates in the building projects Urban Mediaspace and Navitas Park, in Aarhus, Odense Research and Knowledge Park and Copenhagen Bio Science Park (COBIS). In 2008, the company changed its name to Alectia. This was part of a strategic acquisitions process, which took place primarily in Denmark:
 2005: Danbrew
 2006: Dansk Arbejdsmiljø and Byggeriets Arbejdsmiljøcenter Danmark
 2007: Jobliv Danmark, Watertech and MA Project
 2008: Penborn Technical Services (UK)
