What INDUNI & CIE does

INDUNI & CIE SA is a Swiss construction company founded in 1917 by a pioneering family, headquartered in Petit-Lancy (Geneva) with regional branches in Crissier (Vaud) and Sion (Valais). It operates across three core service lines — Bâtiment (building construction), Génie Civil (civil engineering), and Entreprise Générale (general contracting) — serving property developers, private investors, institutional clients, and cantonal/municipal public entities in French-speaking Switzerland (Romandy). The company positions itself on financial independence, regional proximity management, and a controlled-growth approach, engaging clients directly as a general contractor (entrepreneur général) or total contractor (entrepreneur total).

The company's operational backbone is a vertically integrated logistics and production capability unusual for its size: an 80-person logistics team operates 30 tower cranes, 10 concrete batching plants, 5 trucks, 70 utility vehicles, 500 construction site containers, and approximately 6,800 m² of wall formwork plus 7,700 m² of slab formwork. Technical methods include certified BIM management, GPS-guided heavy equipment with pedestrian recognition, and digital touchscreen construction site plans. Supporting functions include a Bureau des Méthodes (methods office), Service des Achats (purchasing), and Service Qualité (ISO 9001 quality system). A 15-year Vigier partnership covers 95% of approximately 40,000 tonnes of annual cement sourced as low-carbon CEMII-A with 20% lower CO2, supplemented by a 2,500 m² solar PV installation at headquarters (390,000 kWh/year, exceeding 300,000 kWh/year consumption), biodiesel-powered last-mile trucks, and ISO 14001/45001 plus Minergie/BREEAM/SEED-certified project delivery.

Revenue is generated through project-based contracts in three structures — fixed-price (forfait), ceiling-price (prix plafond), and open-book (livre ouvert) — won through direct enterprise engagement rather than open-tender reliance. Marketing runs through LinkedIn, Instagram, construction trade press (Construction & Bâtiment, Chantiers Magazine), and regional event sponsorships. Marquee reference projects include the Audemars Piguet Musée Atelier (BIG Architects, Le Brassus), Hublot's H3 industrial building (Nyon, Minergie-P-ECO), THE HIVE campus at Meyrin (HIAG Immobilien), and the 51,594 m² Minergie/BREEAM-certified Skylab building at Plan-les-Ouates for Sky Lab Real Estate SA. The company also operates a sub-brand, "Bois Béton Solutions," a joint venture with SIMONIN WOOD SOLUTIONS for hybrid timber-concrete construction.
