What METTLER PRADER does

METTLER PRADER AG is a Swiss general construction contractor (Baumeister) headquartered at Felsenaustrasse 47 in Chur, canton of Graubünden, and operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of ZINDEL GRUPPE AG, a 90+ year diversified construction and real estate group. The firm delivers a full-stack construction service offering organized into four core lines — Hochbau (building construction), Tief- & Rückbau (civil engineering and demolition), Ingenieurtiefbau (specialized civil engineering including bridge, tunnel, and hydroelectric power plant construction), and Strassenbau (road construction) — supplemented by specialized services such as Bohren & Fräsen (drilling and concrete cutting), Kundenarbeiten (custom masonry and historic restoration), and Spezialbeläge (specialized floor coatings). Its technology stack centers on BIM2FIELD, a real-time digital plan-to-site execution system, with the firm having executed the first BIM-highrise construction site in Graubünden (Überbauung Badusstrasse).

The company monetizes through project-based general contracting contracts awarded by both public-sector clients (cantonal and municipal infrastructure, bridges, tunnels, public buildings) and private developers (hospitality, healthcare, banking, residential, heritage restoration). Reference projects include complex bridge construction over A13/SBB/RhB railway lines for Kanton Graubünden, masonry work for Kantonsspital Chur, roof extension concrete work for Graubündner Kantonalbank, demolition and new build of Bodmerbrücke for Stadt Chur, the Mühle Grüsch DGNB-certified sustainable build for GUTGRÜN AG (the first such project in Switzerland), and the Hotel National Davos historic-renovation build (May 2020 – October 2021). Distribution is direct-to-client via six regional offices covering Chur, Davos, Ilanz, Cunter, San Vittore, and St. Gallen, positioning the firm as 'Baumeister Graubündens' (Builder of Graubünden) with extension into neighboring Eastern Switzerland.

Customer segments are split between public infrastructure (Kantonsspital Chur, Kanton Graubünden, Stadt Chur, Gemeinde Domat/Ems, Bürgergemeinde Chur) and private construction (Graubündner Kantonalbank, Hotel National Davos, GUTGRÜN AG) across healthcare, government, banking, hospitality, and real estate. Pricing is non-public and project-by-project; no recurring revenue or subscription model is disclosed. Revenue figures are not publicly reported, but the firm's six-office footprint, full-service breadth, and large-scale reference projects (e.g., 60,000 m3 debris removal) place it as a mid-sized regional contractor within the broader ZINDEL GRUPPE ecosystem that includes BRUNOLD, CRESTAGEO, X STATIK, ZINDEL LOGISTIK, and ZINDEL IMMO.
