What Steiger Baucontrol does

Steiger Baucontrol AG is a privately held Swiss professional services firm founded in 1998 and headquartered in Kriens, near Lucerne, specializing in construction evidence documentation, technical measurement monitoring, and damage management. The firm operates as a B2B service provider targeting construction property owners, developers, architects, engineers, general contractors, insurance companies, courts, and public infrastructure clients (including Swiss Federal Railways and cantonal road authorities) across German-speaking Switzerland.

The company delivers four integrated core services: Beweissicherung (evidence documentation) covering pre-construction condition surveys of neighboring properties; Rissprotokolle (crack protocols) producing text-based expert documentation aligned with Swiss norms such as VSS 40 312; Messtechnische Überwachung (technical measurement monitoring) including geophone-based vibration measurement, leveling, geodetic surveys, noise measurement, groundwater monitoring, and deformation measurement; and Schadenerledigung (damage resolution) with proprietary cost analysis tools to determine fair compensation for construction-related damage claims. The technology stack is conventional measurement instrumentation rather than software products, with expertise grounded in credentialed engineering staff (ETH, FH, licensed geometers).

The business operates on a quote-based professional services model with multi-year project engagements, sales-led go-to-market driven by industry referrals and memberships in SIA and suisse.ing, and serves 11-50 employees with no disclosed revenue or external funding.

Revenue model

1. Beweissicherung (Evidence Documentation) Services: Professional services for documenting the initial condition of properties near construction sites before construction begins. Services include crack protocols, condition surveys, and comprehensive evidence packages tailored to project risk profiles.
2. Messtechnische Überwachung (Technical Measurement Monitoring): Periodic or continuous monitoring of construction impacts on neighboring properties including leveling measurements, geodetic monitoring, vibration measurements, noise measurements, groundwater monitoring, and deformation measurements.
3. Schadenerledigung (Damage Resolution) Services: Damage case management including transparent cost analysis to determine fair compensation for property damage claims arising from construction activities.

Core offering

Steiger Baucontrol AG provides evidence documentation (Beweissicherung) services for construction projects, including text-based crack protocols (Rissprotokolle), technical measurement monitoring of vibrations and noise, damage assessment and resolution, CCTV drain inspection, and construction cost analysis. The firm operates as a neutral expert, documenting the condition of neighboring buildings before, during, and after construction activity and producing court- and insurance-grade reports for builders, property owners, courts, and public authorities.

Product overview

Steiger Baucontrol AG offers a unified portfolio of professional construction evidence documentation and monitoring services. The core offering consists of four integrated services: Beweissicherung (evidence documentation) serves as the umbrella service, while Rissprotokolle (crack protocols) provides text-based property condition documentation as the central evidence document. Messtechnische Überwachung (technical measurement monitoring) encompasses various measurement techniques including vibration monitoring, leveling, geodetic surveys, noise measurements, groundwater monitoring, and deformation measurements. Schadenerledigung (damage resolution) leverages all documented evidence to facilitate transparent settlement of construction-related damage claims. The company operates as a full-service provider from project initiation through damage resolution, using industry-standard methodologies and norms.
