What Grünenfelder und Partner AG does

Grünenfelder und Partner AG is a Swiss engineering, surveying, and geomatics firm headquartered in Domat/Ems in Canton Graubünden, founded in 1921 and held across four generations of family ownership. The company operates as a multi-disciplinary engineering consultancy with a workforce described by the company as over 60 employees, organized into ten service lines covering geomatic and land surveying, transportation and infrastructure, excavation and structural construction, hydraulic engineering and natural hazards, building surveys, construction surveying, geomonitoring, evidence documentation, mountain railway engineering, and structural design. It serves public authorities — notably Kanton Graubünden and Rhätische Bahn — and private developers primarily through direct project engagements and competitive bidding in the Swiss market. Geographically, the firm runs five offices spanning Domat/Ems, Cazis, Lenzerheide/Lai, Samedan, and Minusio, the last providing Italian-language coverage in Ticino.

The company's revenue model is professional services with project-based fees negotiated per engagement; no public pricing, ARR, or revenue figures are disclosed. Beyond core services, Grünenfelder has developed two proprietary technology platforms: alpineSOLUTION, an infrastructure management system (ISM) for digital management of geodata and infrastructure assets, and WebGIS, a spatial-data visualization platform. Technical differentiators include 3D project planning for drainage and infrastructure systems, drone-based surveying for alpine and reservoir applications, fixpunktnetz (high-precision reference point networks) for cable car and infrastructure control, and deformation-measurement practice demonstrated on projects such as the Palius storage reservoir (built 2020) and Carassina dam.

The firm is part of the Geoterra Gruppe, a Swiss conglomerate of geomatic and engineering companies under which it operates while maintaining its regional brand and identity. It markets through a corporate website, regional trade-fair presence (including OLMA 2022 as part of Kanton Graubünden's guest-canton showcase), and direct client relationships built over a century of operation. No funding rounds, acquisitions, leadership changes, regulatory actions, or M&A activity are disclosed.

Scale indicators2 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• dsp Ingenieure & Planer AG: Swiss engineering firm with structural, civil, and infrastructure capabilities. Comparable to Grünenfelder's Tragwerksplanung and Baugruben/Kunstbauten service lines, with broader national project coverage.
• ILF Consulting Engineers: International engineering consultancy with significant Swiss presence in infrastructure, energy, and water. Comparable to Grünenfelder on major infrastructure projects, though operating at a much larger, multi-national scale.
• EBP (Ernst Basler + Partner): Swiss engineering and consulting firm active in infrastructure, environment, and risk management. Directly comparable to Grünenfelder's natural hazard and infrastructure segments, while also competing for larger public-sector mandates across Switzerland.
• Basler & Hofmann AG: Swiss engineering consultancy with a strong footprint in infrastructure, structural design, and environmental engineering. Comparable to Grünenfelder on the full-service engineering side and overlaps on rail, road, and structural projects, though it operates at a larger national scale.
• CSD Ingenieure AG: Swiss engineering consultancy covering environment, water, geology, and infrastructure. Comparable to Grünenfelder on hydraulic engineering and natural hazard work, with broader geographic and service reach.
• Emch+Berger AG: One of Switzerland's largest privately held engineering consultancies, offering civil, structural, traffic, and environmental engineering across multiple cantons. Directly comparable to Grünenfelder because both are Swiss multi-disciplinary engineering consultancies; Emch+Berger competes for the same public infrastructure and private development mandates at a larger scale.

Others

• Swisstopo (Federal Office of Topography): Switzerland's federal surveying authority and primary provider of official geodata. Not a competitor but a key ecosystem participant — Swisstopo data, benchmarks, and standards underpin the surveying work Grünenfelder performs for cantonal and federal clients.
• Geoterra Gruppe (group-level peers): The Geoterra Gruppe is disclosed as Grünenfelder's parent conglomerate of Swiss engineering and geomatic firms. Sister companies within the group share service overlap and pool resources on large projects, making them the closest operational peer set in terms of culture and tooling.

Direct peers

• AF Toscano AG: Swiss surveying and geomatic firm offering land surveying, 3D laser scanning, and GIS services. Highly comparable to Grünenfelder's Geomatik/Vermessung division with similar technology stack and public-sector client base.

Regional players

• Holzbauer AG (or equivalent regional surveying offices): Regional Swiss surveying and engineering firms operating in narrower geographic territories. Comparable to Grünenfelder in service scope and project type but competing in different cantons, representing the typical direct local competitor profile.
