Felder + Partner Bauingenieure AG

What Felder + Partner Bauingenieure AG does

Felder + Partner Bauingenieure AG is a Swiss civil engineering consulting firm headquartered in Entlebuch, Canton of Lucerne, with a second office in Malters opened in 2018. The firm was founded in 2001 as the successor to Ingenieur- und Bauleitungsbüro M. Zemp AG under the leadership of Fredy Felder, who remains owner and managing director. The company delivers a multi-disciplinary engineering service portfolio across five core areas: traffic planning and construction consulting, infrastructure and structural preservation, environmental/natural hazard/water supply engineering, structural engineering (concrete, steel, timber), and project development for commercial and industrial construction. Services span all project phases from feasibility studies and variant analyses through to commissioning, executed under EN ISO 9001 quality management.

The firm serves a primary client base of Swiss public-sector entities — including municipalities (Gemeinde Malters, Doppleschwand, Schüpfheim), cantonal authorities (Kanton Luzern, Verkehr und Infrastruktur), and federal agencies (SBB AG) — alongside private-sector customers in manufacturing, packaging, and automotive retail (Elektrisola Feindraht AG, Kistag Dekopack AG, Garage Rüttimann AG), with a smaller segment of private residential clients. Revenue is generated through project-based engineering consulting engagements quoted individually, with no disclosed pricing or recurring SaaS-style contracts. Distribution is entirely direct via the two offices with senior engineers and project managers as client contact points. The team's technical foundation is built on CAD-based engineering drafting and design, supplemented by specialized certifications (CAS Siedlungsentwässerung, CAS Erdbebensicherheit, NDS Betriebsingenieurewesen) and a steady intake of apprentices in EFZ Fachrichtung Ingenieurbau.

The competitive position is that of a regionally embedded mid-sized engineering consultancy with deep local relationships in central Switzerland rather than a scaled technology platform. The firm operates with approximately 25 employees, has no disclosed funding, no parent company, no acquisitions, and no public-market listing. Geographic reach is concentrated in the Canton of Lucerne and central Switzerland. Customer acquisition is driven by direct relationships, public tendering, and referrals, with the company website as the principal marketing channel. Headcount has grown from approximately 10 at founding to approximately 25 currently, indicating sustained but measured organic scaling over more than two decades.
