Our methodology in nine steps
These are the steps of every project we manage. Each one links to the service behind it: construction management covers the final part of the journey, while owner’s representation stays with you from start to finish.
-
Defining your needs
Before any figures, we take the time to understand what you expect from the project. We then formalise your brief and objectives, which become the reference for every decision.
View the service: Owner’s representation -
Feasibility study
We test your brief against an initial cost estimate (using area or volume ratios) and an outline schedule. You know whether the project stands up before you commit.
View the service: Cost management -
Cost estimate
We draw up a forecast cost structured by CFC code and based on up-to-date market prices.
View the service: Cost management -
Forecast schedule
Every task in the schedule has its duration and its place in the sequence, and a named person is accountable for it. Checked every week against actual progress, the schedule shows early on where the completion date will be won or lost.
View the service: Planning -
Tendering
We draft tender documents by CFC code and invite contractors suited to the project to bid. Their bids are compared on a like-for-like basis, then you receive our reasoned recommendation.
View the service: Tendering -
Technical optimisation
We review technical choices with the consultants and propose an alternative when it costs less for equal quality. You make the decision knowing its effect on the budget.
View the service: Cost management -
Site supervision
During construction, we coordinate the contractors on site and check both compliance with the drawings and actual progress. We also keep the budget and deadlines up to date.
View the service: Construction management -
Commissioning
Testing and handover of the works are planned, as is the transition to operation. We then compile the as-built documentation that is handed over to you.
View the service: Construction management -
Clearing of defects and warranty follow-up
At handover, we record the defects and track each one until it is cleared. During the warranty period, we remain at your side for any work required.

-
Coordination of consultants steps 3 à 7
We coordinate the architects and engineers with the specialist consultants, on a master schedule. We also check their work and settle technical conflicts between trades.
-
Cost management steps 5 à 8
We keep the budget up to date at every stage: progress claims, change orders, time-and-materials work, then the final account. You know at all times where the money is going.

Frequently asked questions about our services
At what stage can you step in?
At any stage. Early on, to define the brief and check feasibility, at the tendering stage, when works begin, or during construction on a project that is running into difficulties.
Can you join an existing team of consultants?
Yes. On an apartment building or a commercial building, the architect and engineers are generally appointed first. We then take on the missing assignment, construction management or cost control for example, alongside the team in place. What has already been entrusted to them stays with them.
What types of project do you support?
Construction and renovation projects, both public and private: villas and apartment buildings, energy renovations, boutiques and showrooms, industrial buildings and offices. Each sector has its own page, which sets out what we take on.
What size of project do you manage?
Our projects range from a 200 m² villa to a 6,000 m² industrial building, with construction costs between CHF 1.5 and 30 million. To find out whether an assignment is justified on your project, the simplest thing is to talk about it: the initial conversation carries no obligation.
How does the first contact work?
You describe your project in a few lines, using the form, by phone or by email. We will get back to you within 48 working hours to arrange an initial conversation, with no obligation.
Do you work outside French-speaking Switzerland?
Our work is mainly focused on French-speaking Switzerland, but we remain open to specific projects further afield, depending on their nature and complexity. Our current sites are in the cantons of Geneva and Vaud.
