Ducksch Anliker Architects

What Ducksch Anliker Architects does

Ducksch Anliker AG is a privately held Swiss architecture and real estate services firm headquartered in Langenthal, Canton Bern, founded on March 1, 1971 by Christoph Ducksch. The company operates as a full-service provider across four integrated service lines: Architecture (Architektur), Project Development (Entwicklung), Total Construction Management (Totalunternehmung), and Real Estate Management (Immobilienmanagement). Its project portfolio spans new construction, renovation, transformation, and conversion work across residential, commercial, industrial, retail, sports, hospitality, healthcare, and public-sector buildings, with individual project values disclosed between approximately Fr. 2.9M and Fr. 62M.

The firm is structured as an owner-managed Aktiengesellschaft under a group of specialized subsidiaries — Ducksch Anliker TU Management AG, Immo Management AG, Immobilien AG, and Entwicklungen AG — which together enable end-to-end delivery from site feasibility and design through fixed-price construction execution to ongoing rental, co-ownership administration, and property sales. Customer concentration is anchored by institutional clients such as UBS Fund Management Switzerland AG, Credit Suisse Anlagestiftung, IKEA AG, Stadt Langenthal, and the Swiss Federal Government (including the Pier 17 San Francisco consulate fit-out and the Swiss Embassy renovation in Tiflis), supplemented by housing cooperatives, private developers, and individual homeowners.

Geographically, Ducksch Anliker operates from three regional offices in Langenthal (headquarters), Zürich (Rautistrasse 55), and Luzern (Werftestrasse 3), serving the Swiss German-speaking economic corridor plus select international federal projects. Operational leadership transitioned in 2023 from founder Stephan Anliker (now Chairman) to CEO Gian Kämpf, CFO/COO Manuel Huber, and Managing Director Eveline Egger. A further leadership change is planned for July 2025 when Sandra Hügli steps down from operations, with the development department slated for expansion. Revenue is not publicly disclosed, but disclosed headcount of 51–100 employees and a multi-Mandate project pipeline support a mid-sized professional services profile.
