Suisseplan Engineers

What Suisseplan Engineers does

Suisseplan Engineers (operating as suisseplan Ingenieure AG, within the suisseplan group managed by suisseplan Management AG, UID CHE-112.656.863) is a Swiss civil engineering consultancy founded in 1963 and headquartered at Theaterstrasse 15, 6003 Luzern. The firm delivers interdisciplinary planning and engineering services across three integrated service areas: Bau (Construction, covering Tragwerke/structural engineering, Infrastruktur, and Baumanagement), Raum (Spatial Planning, covering Raumplanung, Landschaftsplanung, and Verkehrssicherheit/traffic safety), and Umwelt (Environment, covering Umweltplanung, environmental impact assessment, and Sicherheit/risk consulting). It is supported by BIM (Building Information Modeling), CAD-based structural design, GIS data processing, and CadnaA noise-mapping software, with notable project references including the Andreasturm Zürich high-rise (BIM-coordinated with Theo Hotz AG, Burckhardt+Partner AG, and others), Mall of Switzerland, Tramtunnel Schwamendingen, and Wassertransportleitung Spange Ost.

Suisseplan operates from five branch offices (Luzern HQ, Aarau, Wohlen, Zürich, and Frauenfeld) and employs over 100 specialists, operating exclusively in German-speaking Switzerland. The firm traces its operating heritage to WEWO Bauingenieure AG, which was rebranded to suisseplan Ingenieure AG under the unified suisseplan group brand.

The business model is project-based professional services revenue: per-project fees and multi-year framework contracts with cantons, districts, and municipalities (Aargau, Glarus, St. Gallen, Luzern, Zürich, Thurgau), supplemented by private-sector mandates from utilities and corporates including SBB, ewz, Swiss Re, Post Immobilien, Swissgas, Limeco, GVG, Halter AG, Pfiffner, Römer, Ferrowohlen, and Real North. The GVG network alone covers 30 Verbandsgemeinden. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, consistent with Swiss engineering consulting norms. The company is privately held with no external parent, no disclosed institutional investors, and no funding rounds; revenue figures are not publicly available.

Core offering

Suisseplan Ingenieure AG is a Swiss engineering consultancy (Ingenieurbüro für Bau, Raum und Umwelt) delivering integrated planning, design, and project execution across three service areas: Bau (Construction) — structural engineering, infrastructure planning, and construction management; Raum (Spatial Planning) — land-use, landscape, and traffic-safety planning; and Umwelt (Environment) — environmental impact assessments and safety/risk consulting. Clients engage suisseplan for individual mandates or for combined, end-to-end engagements spanning feasibility, planning, permitting, and construction supervision. The firm serves cantons, municipalities, utilities, real-estate developers, and private corporates across German-speaking Switzerland.

Product overview

suisseplan Ingenieure AG is a Swiss engineering consultancy ("Ingenieurbüro für Bau, Raum und Umwelt") delivering interdisciplinary services across three integrated service areas — Bau (Construction, including Tragwerke, Infrastruktur, and Baumanagement), Raum (Spatial Planning, including Raumplanung, Landschaftsplanung, and Verkehrssicherheit), and Umwelt (Environment, including Umweltplanung and Sicherheit). The offer is portfolio-based rather than a single software product: clients engage suisseplan for individual services (e.g., a structural engineering brief, a municipal zoning revision, an EIA report) or for combined mandates spanning several areas, allowing projects to be handled end-to-end from feasibility and planning through to construction supervision. The portfolio covers project examples such as structural engineering (Mall of Switzerland, AgroVet Strickhof, Hotel Radisson Blu, Hotel 4C Andermatt), infrastructure (Wassertransportleitung Spange Ost, Energieverbund Schlieren, Limmatfeld Gesamterschliessung, Tramtunnel Schwamendingen), spatial planning (Ortsplanungsrevision Seon, Kommunale Richtplanung Weesen, Strategie zur Auszonung Schönengrund), and environment/safety (Umweltverträglichkeitsprüfung Staffelbach, Sicherheit von Erdgashochdruckanlagen, Störfallberatung Reiden).

Direct peers

• Basler & Hofmann AG: Swiss Ingenieurbüro offering structural, infrastructure, environmental and spatial-planning services across German-speaking Switzerland. Comparable to Suisseplan because of its multi-disciplinary Bau/Raum/Umwelt service model and similar public-sector (cantonal/municipal) client base.
• Holinger AG: Swiss engineering firm with strong environmental, water and infrastructure consulting practices, serving municipalities and industry. Directly comparable to Suisseplan's Umwelt and Infrastruktur service lines and its GIS/CadnaA-style environmental work.
• Emch+Berger Gruppe: Swiss civil and structural engineering consultancy with offices across German-speaking Switzerland. Comparable because of overlapping Tragwerke, Infrastruktur and Bauherr mandate work for cantons and developers.
• EBP Schweiz AG: Swiss planning, engineering and consulting firm active in spatial planning, environment and infrastructure. Overlaps with Suisseplan's Raum and Umwelt pillars and its municipal/cantonal client work.
• Amberg Group AG: Swiss engineering group covering infrastructure, tunnelling and surveying. Comparable to Suisseplan on infrastructure engineering mandates and Swiss public-sector delivery.
• F. Preisig AG: Swiss engineering and consulting firm providing civil/structural engineering, infrastructure and environmental services. Comparable to Suisseplan's integrated Bau/Raum/Umwelt model and public-sector focus.
• B+S AG (formerly Basler + Partner): Swiss engineering consultancy active in civil engineering, environment and spatial planning. Comparable because of similar multi-disciplinary Ingenieurbüro positioning serving cantons and municipalities.

Broad incumbents

• AFRY (formerly Pöyry / ÅF): Large European engineering and design consultancy with a Swiss office network spanning infrastructure, energy and environment. A broader incumbent overlapping Suisseplan's Energieverbund, gas-pipeline and environmental-impact mandates.

Emerging players

• Schmid + Pletscher AG: Smaller Swiss engineering firm focused on civil/structural engineering and infrastructure. Comparable as a regional Ingenieurbüro competing for the same cantonal/municipal mandate pool as Suisseplan.
