«THE GENERALISTS AND SPECIALISTS FOR COMPLEX PROJECTS FROM DESIGN TO HANDOVER.»
ARCHITECTS AND GENERAL PLANNERS. SINCE 1922. PROJECT MANAGEMENT We plan, monitor and control the entire process from the initial planning stage to completion and commissioning, and we keep a constant eye on the critical trifecta of schedule, cost, and quality. The experience we have gained from hundreds of complex construction projects has been distilled into practical tools, and our project managers regularly share their best practices, thereby ensuring that all of their combined vast experience is on tap for all our projects. DESIGN A concept emerges from the location, the design brief, and through our own interpretation. Our architecture shapes spaces which, with their high practical value and ambience, evoke emotions. Our buildings pay homage to beauty above and beyond purely functional and technical demands. The questions we pose are ones of vision, of future scenarios, and of strategies. PLANNING Planning for us means more than merely drafting the construction documentation. Thanks to our comprehensive experience based on intensive dialogues with technical experts and with the authorities, we are able to cover every aspect relevant to the project. CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT Every month across Europe we turn planning results into real buildings to a value of around 30 million Swiss francs. We organise, coordinate and manage the entire construction process. The standard we set ourselves in terms of efficiency and quality represents our top priority and we pay special attention to the logistics and critical path when we have complex projects to handle. CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION Construction administration is a matter of trust for us. As partners at your side, we utilise our experience in all aspects of the planning and construction phases, thereby relieving you of the burden of managing the project. Our experienced contract administrators will support you in defining the most important goals and the best possible organisation and construction sequence for the project: they will lay the groundwork to enable important decisions to be made and they will mediate between the needs of all the parties involved to ensure that your project will be a complete success both financially and architecturally.

We want to create added value for people. AND IN THE COMPANY. We develop innovative solutions for complex construction projects. This is why we attach great importance to training our staff. In this way we can enrich our vast experience with the latest insights. We give employees space and in return we ask for commitment, to the project and to the company.
