Construction fiduciary & project management

Over the next years, UBS AG intends to re-standardize and optimize the UBS network of branches in Switzerland. Its goal is to create a unified look of all branches with a design concept and therefore, achieve distinct brand awareness. The network of branches of UBS Switzerland is divided into 10 clusters. The renovation of these branch offices will be carried out in 8 phases. In total, UBS AG will renovate and unify approx. 380 branches in Switzerland.

The Gotthard Base Tunnel is the longest railway tunnel on earth. It is composed of two tunnels of 57 km length each. Within this mandate, detailed planning of the entire logistics for the installation of the railway technology was done.
Optimized processes and schedules had to be developed. The installation of the railway technology is carried out from two main and three smaller installation sites. These sites are equipped with a complex and highly efficient infrastructure to allow the railway technology installation process, which is unique in terms of scale and complexity, to be carried out according to very high quality requirements and a tight schedule.

OTIF is an important international organisation with its headquarters in Berne. This organisation uses simple and effective legal instruments to promote, improve and facilitate international rail transport. The formally modest office building at Gryphenhübeliweg 30 in Berne has been well maintained in recent decades, but has hardly been repaired since it was built in 1965. Therefore, a comprehensive renovation, taking into account ecological aspects, is urgently needed today. The property is listed in the building inventory of the city of Bern as "worthy of preservation". This classification is largely due to the fact that the interiors have significant wall decorations worthy of protection, including a mural by Hans Erni.
Special attention is to be paid to the access road, the entrance area and the foyer with the conference room, as external persons such as diplomats and representatives regularly visit the building. Among other things, the addition of at least four new interpreting rooms in the conference hall should be examined. Furthermore, it must be clarified whether the terrace above the 3rd floor can be better used or even extended, this taking into account the building and planning law requirements. The users and the owner of the building are not seeking to increase the office space.

Platform is the horizontal counterpart of Prime Tower. This seven-story commercial building is the head office of the consulting firm of Ernst & Young AG in Zurich and it offers space for 1,000 employees.

The ZHB location on the 1st upper floor of the UNI/PHZ building connects the thus far decentralized university libraries of ZHB with the research library of PHZ to create a large research library in the centre of Lucerne. Among the media offered are particularly science journals, reference books, source collections, introductory and basic literature, and research literature. This project was realized by our partner office for building economy, www.bfbag.ch,

The well-developed Majowa service building will be the future headquarters of the Swiss Postal Services and has space for around 1'800 work stations on its 33'700 m2 rental space. Apart from a staff restaurant, a conference centre will also be built and there will be 170 parking spaces for cars and 450 spaces for cycles on the underground floors. The project is being realised in accordance with the exacting and comprehensive criteria of the German Sustainable Building Council (DGNB) and the Swiss Sustainable Building Council (SGNI) seals of approval. The construction work will be carried out between spring 2012 and autumn 2014.

The Kreuzbuch property is located in the midst of a preferred residential area of Lucerne. The existing villa with its baroque staircase forms the centre of the building complex. The planned new construction is linear arranged following the topography of the incline.

The use is conforming to a senior residence with mainly 2 1/2 -room and 3 1/2-room senior residencies. Building C houses on one floor a nursing facility.
