Bodmer Bauingenieure AG

What Bodmer Bauingenieure AG does

Bodmer Bauingenieure AG is a privately held Swiss civil engineering consultancy headquartered in Buchs, Aargau, founded in 1980 by Kurt Bodmer-Roth and since 2011 owned and led by his son Markus Bodmer. The firm operates two service divisions, Tragwerksplanung (structural engineering) and Infrastrukturbau (infrastructure engineering), serving cantonal and communal government clients alongside private developers, property owners, and industrial companies across Canton Aargau and Northwestern Switzerland. The team numbers approximately 18-19 staff, including management, qualified engineers, technical draftspersons, construction managers, and apprentices, with a co-led management bench for infrastructure construction formalized in January 2023.

The core service portfolio spans load-bearing structures from single-family homes to bridges, civil structures (Kunstbauten), historical and heritage-protected buildings, seismic safety assessments and retrofits, excavation pit planning, building renovations and structural reinforcements, road construction, noise protection, municipal drainage and GEP, development and contribution planning, hydraulic engineering, water supply, and utility pipeline coordination. All projects are planned under a full BIM (Building Information Modeling) workflow branded BIM2Field, covering structural analysis through to construction site execution and enabling digital coordination with specialist planners and cost estimators. The firm holds long-standing memberships in Swiss engineering and industry associations including VSA, VSS, SZS, CRB, AGV, SwissEngineering, VGKA, and Verkehrsforum Aargau.

The business model is professional services on a per-project basis, with revenue undisclosed and acquired through direct engagement, regional reputation, public tender participation, and referrals. There are no external investors, parent company, or subsidiaries. Active and reference clients span multiple industries: energy and waste management (KVA Buchs, with engagements from 2004 through a 2026 turbine hall project), manufacturing (Ribag headquarters, 2008-2009), real estate and hospitality (Müllerbräu Areal Baden), and multiple municipal governments (Gemeinde Rupperswil, Gemeinde Leutwil). The firm relocated from Aarau to a modern Eniwa office building in Buchs AG in December 2020 and operates with no public listing.

• Jäger Partner AG: Swiss civil engineering firm offering structural engineering, infrastructure, and construction management services. Comparable to Bodmer in offering integrated Tragwerksplanung and Infrastrukturbau services to public and private clients.
• Scherrer Ingenieure AG: Swiss engineering consultancy delivering structural and infrastructure engineering for cantonal, municipal, and private clients. Comparable mid-sized German-Swiss peer with similar service mix to Bodmer in regional construction planning.
• dsp Ingenieure & Planer AG: Swiss engineering consultancy providing structural engineering, infrastructure, and project management services. Comparable to Bodmer across structural and infrastructure engineering for Swiss municipal and private clients, with similar regional operating model.

Broad incumbents

• Amstein + Walthert AG: Swiss engineering firm with strong structural, infrastructure, and building services engineering practices. Comparable to Bodmer across Tragwerksplanung and Infrastrukturbau but with national presence and much larger staff base.
• Basler & Hofmann AG: One of the largest Swiss engineering consultancies, providing structural, infrastructure, environmental, and energy engineering services across Switzerland. Directly comparable in service scope (structural engineering, infrastructure, BIM, heritage) but operates at national scale with far larger headcount.
• EBP (Ernst Basler + Partner): Switzerland-based engineering and consulting firm active in infrastructure, transport, environment, and risk/safety engineering. Comparable to Bodmer on municipal infrastructure and risk/seismic work, though with broader national footprint and wider service lines.
• AFRY (Switzerland): European engineering and design firm with Swiss operations (formerly Pöyry and Basler & Hofmann-related projects). Competes for larger Swiss infrastructure, water, and transport commissions; overlaps with Bodmer's infrastructure and water services but at much larger scale.
