Burkhardt Gebäudehülle AG

What Burkhardt Gebäudehülle AG does

Burkhardt Gebäudehülle AG is a Swiss family-owned specialist in building envelope (Gebäudehülle) construction services, founded in 1985 by Andreas Burkhardt and headquartered in Maienfeld, Graubünden. The company operates three regional offices (Maienfeld, Zürich, and Wil/Bronschhofen in Eastern Switzerland) plus a partner firm (Eberle Gebäudehülle AG) in Liechtenstein, with a group headcount of 213 employees and a 120-vehicle fleet. Its core service portfolio covers five integrated building envelope disciplines: flat roof (Flachdach), pitched roof (Steildach), sheet metalwork (Spenglerei), facade construction (Fassadenbau), and building protection (Bautenschutz), supported by specialist modules in project planning/engineering (per SIA norms 271, 273, 232/1, 232/2), service and maintenance with recurring contracts, and BKP construction cost planning. The company offers drone-based inspection for hard-to-access structures and PV integration coupled with flat roof waterproofing.

The company's value proposition centers on a "vernetztes Denken" (networked thinking) approach that couples the five envelope disciplines to deliver complete or partial solutions from planning through realization to long-term maintenance. It serves multiple customer segments including industrial/commercial businesses, property managers, private homeowners, public sector clients, architects/planners, and insurance companies, with marquee references including The Circle at Zurich Airport, Tamina Therme in Bad Ragaz, and Steinbock in Chur. Revenue is generated through project-based quotation contracts (with 30-day quote validity and material escalation clauses), recurring maintenance contracts (Unterhaltsverträge) that extend warranties from 5 to 10 years for hidden defects, and ad-hoc service and repair work. GTM is direct field sales through the three regional offices, supplemented by referrals from architects, general contractors, and property managers. The legal entity is a privately held Swiss Aktiengesellschaft (MWST-Nr. CHE-113.706.239) with the Burkhardt family dominating the board (Andreas Burkhardt as VR-Präsident, Marc and Jasmin Burkhardt as board members) and the Geschäftsleitung comprising six members with long tenure.

Scale indicators6 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Sika AG: Globally leading Swiss supplier of construction chemicals, sealants and roofing/waterproofing systems used in envelope applications. Comparable because Sika's products are core inputs to Burkhardt's Flachdach and Bautenschutz services, making it both an upstream supplier reference and a benchmark for the Swiss building-envelope ecosystem.
• Implenia AG: Switzerland's largest construction group, listed on SIX Swiss Exchange, offering general contracting and real estate services that include envelope and roofing capability. Comparable because it competes for major Swiss building projects where Burkhardt also bids, but with a far broader portfolio.
• Walo Bertschinger AG: Major Swiss general contractor operating nationally with strong roofing, civil and building envelope divisions. Comparable as a large incumbent with overlapping envelope and roof trade capabilities and a national footprint that overlaps Burkhardt's three Swiss regions.
• Marti Group (Marti AG): One of Switzerland's leading construction groups with building envelope and roofing trades alongside large-scale tunneling and civil works. Comparable in the Swiss construction services category, especially on commercial envelope work where Marti competes for general contractor packages.

Regional players

• Flumroc AG: Swiss stone-wool insulation manufacturer headquartered in the Alps, serving roofing and facade insulation needs across Switzerland and into Liechtenstein. Comparable as a regional supplier-category participant in the same Swiss building-envelope value chain as Burkhardt.

Emerging players

• Soprema AG: Swiss subsidiary of Soprema Group, focused on waterproofing membranes, roofing systems and associated installation services. Comparable as a product-and-installation specialist in the flat-roof and envelope category where Burkhardt competes.

Direct peers

• Zimmerei & Bedachung Hotz AG: Regional Swiss carpentry and roofing contractor offering pitched roofs, timber construction and related building envelope services. Comparable to Burkhardt's Steildach and Spenglerei offerings for residential and small commercial clients across Switzerland.
• Eberle Gebäudehülle AG: Burkhardt's named partner-firm in Schaan, Liechtenstein, operating under the Eberle Gebäudehülle AG brand with overlapping competencies in roofing, metalwork and facades. Listed as a Zweigniederlassung on Burkhardt's own disclosure, indicating close operational and capability alignment.
• BBRS Roofing AG: Swiss flat-roof and waterproofing specialist combining steep-roof, flat-roof and building protection services. Closely aligned with Burkhardt's integrated building envelope proposition across German-speaking Switzerland.
• Pletscher Bauabdichtungen AG: Swiss specialty contractor focused on building sealings, waterproofing and structural protection. Directly comparable to Burkhardt's Flachdach and Bautenschutz offerings, operating in a similar Swiss regional contractor model.
