Studer Partner

What Studer Partner does

Studer Partner AG is a privately held Swiss civil and structural engineering consultancy headquartered in Sempach Station, Canton of Lucerne. The firm traces its origins to a one-person engineering office founded in 1972 (K. F. Willi Bauingenieure), was incorporated as a stock corporation (Aktiengesellschaft) in 1991, renamed Studer Partner AG in 2007, and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Geoterra Gruppe engineering conglomerate in 2022.

The company operates across six core service lines: Tragwerksplanung (structural engineering), Umbau/Sanierung (renovation and restoration), Spezialtiefbau (special underground construction), Verkehr/Strassenbau (traffic and road construction), Infrastrukturbau (infrastructure construction), and Gemeindeingenieurwesen (municipal engineering). It employs 15+ engineers, draftspersons, and technical staff, and combines traditional civil/structural engineering with fully digital project processing from field capture through planning to presentation. Notable specialized capabilities include earthquake safety certifications (CAS Erdbebensicherheit) and operation of the sewage cadastre for Gemeinde Neuenkirch since 2001.

The business model is project-based professional services. Revenue is generated through engineering consulting fees on a portfolio of municipal infrastructure projects (e.g., a 435-meter road renovation at Willistattstrasse valued at approximately CHF 600,000) and private construction projects spanning residential, agricultural, commercial, and public-sector work. Primary customers are Swiss municipalities in central Switzerland (especially Gemeinde Neuenkirch, served as municipality engineer since 2001) and private developers/property owners; secondary customers include general contractors and other engineering firms. Go-to-market is direct sales-led, leveraging long-term municipal contracts, referrals, and cross-referrals through the Geoterra Gruppe network. Leadership transitioned in 2023 from founder Emil Studer to co-leaders Tobias Akermann (Dipl. Bauingenieur FH, CAS Erdbebensicherheit) and Blerim Ziberi (Dipl. Bautechniker HF), with Studer retained as Fachexperte.
