Allco

What Allco does

Allco is a privately held Swiss construction and real estate services company founded in 1997, operating as a general and total contractor (General- und Totalunternehmer), construction manager (Baumanagement), and property developer. The company runs from its headquarters in Zürich and a secondary office in Pfäffikon, serving institutional property owners, real estate investment funds, pension funds, insurance-owned real estate companies, housing cooperatives, commercial real estate developers, public-sector clients, hospitality operators, and private high-net-worth individuals across the greater Zurich metropolitan area and neighboring cantons. Its portfolio of more than 30 named projects spans new builds, renovations, replacement construction, and comprehensive renovations of residential, commercial, hotel, healthcare, and public-use buildings, including landmark mandates such as the Mandarin Oriental Savoy hotel renovation, the Esplanade West mixed-use development in Biel (199,000 m³ building volume), the Fraumünsterpost for Swiss Prime Site Immobilien AG, and the 466-apartment Im Tiergarten renovation.

The company's core offering is end-to-end project delivery under fixed-price total/general contractor contracts and construction management mandates, augmented by a project development arm (e.g., Silbergrueb in Mönchaltorf, Rietstrasse for own ownership) that captures developer economics. Allco differentiates on three axes: (i) ability to execute technically demanding work such as occupied-site renovations (Jelmoli, Esplanade West, Im Tiergarten) and listed-building projects (Alte Rente, Mandarin Oriental Savoy, Privatklinik Hohenegg); (ii) sustainability credentials, including delivery under BREEAM, MINERGIE, SNBS, and DGNB certifications and adoption of Madaster Digital Material Passports and EPEA Circularity Passports through a partnership formalized in June 2021; and (iii) a single-point-of-contact contractor model with guaranteed cost and schedule adherence. Marketing is primarily relationship-based, supported by a project portfolio website and the Q-Bus customer magazine, with sales executed via competitive tendering, direct mandates, and prequalification rounds. Revenue figures are not publicly disclosed; ownership is private with no disclosed investors.
