What Peter Ott does

Peter Ott Ingenieurbüro für Hoch- und Tiefbau AG is a privately held Swiss civil engineering firm headquartered in Steinhausen, canton of Zug, providing structural and infrastructure engineering services. Founded in 1969 by Peter Ott as a sole proprietorship and converted into a stock corporation (Aktiengesellschaft) in 1985, the firm operates three offices in Steinhausen, Zug, and Mettmenstetten with a staff of 15, including four ETH/FH-qualified civil engineers, a construction manager, drafters, apprentice drafters, and administrative personnel.

The firm's service portfolio spans nine core offerings: structural engineering (Hochbau/Ingenieurbau), excavation and special construction (Baugruben/Spezialbau), renovations and extensions (Umbau/Anbau), condition analyses (Zustandsanalysen), municipal engineering (Gemeindeingenieurwesen), water engineering and flood protection (Gewässerbau/Hochwasserschutz), road construction (Strassenbau), utility infrastructure (Werkleitungsbau), and cable registry data management (Leitungskatasterdaten). The company holds ISO 9001:2015 certification (upgraded from ISO 9001:1994 acquired in 1998) and works with external specialists for niche areas such as foundation engineering and groundwater management.

Revenue is generated through project-based professional services engagements with municipalities, private developers, construction companies, and agricultural clients across the canton of Zug and adjacent regions. The go-to-market is relationship-driven and sales-led, delivered through direct in-person consulting at the firm's three regional offices; no digital channels, self-serve motion, or marketplace presence is indicated. Following the 2016 transfer of share capital from Peter Ott to Andreas Ott, the firm is led by Andreas Ott as Managing Director (Geschäftsleiter) with Peter Ott serving as Board Chairman (VR-Präsident), reflecting a second-generation family stewardship model.
