Galli Group

What Galli Group does

Galli Group is a privately-held Swiss entrepreneurial group founded at the end of 2019 and headquartered in Grono, canton of Grisons. The group operates as an integrated real estate and construction platform covering the full property lifecycle through eight wholly-owned subsidiaries: Galli General Contractor (turnkey construction with BIM 3D visualization), Galli Engineering (civil and structural engineering), Galli Partners Consulting (business and project advisory), Galli Immobiliare (property sales, lettings, and administration), Planidea SA (spatial and urban planning, acquired 2023), Direzione Lavori SA (construction supervision), Studio Protec SA (HVAC engineering), and B Atelier Bistrôt (hospitality plus the quarterly Bistrôt Magazine). Headcount has expanded from approximately 20 family-business employees to more than 70, and the group also controls the Marssal SA joint venture (scaffolding and provisional works, established July 2020 with Italian partners).

The group's core technical capabilities center on Building Information Modelling (BIM) for 3D project visualization and digital twin technology combined with sensor networks and predictive algorithms for infrastructure health monitoring. Galli General Contractor uses BIM to allow clients to experience floor plans in three dimensions prior to construction. The revenue model combines project-based professional services fees (general contractor projects ranging from 0.5 million CHF to 10 million CHF), real estate development income from internal promotions such as the 52-flat Quartiere Birreria project in Grono and Residenza Parco Lunghi in Rivera, recurring property management fees through Galli Immobiliare, municipal planning consulting through Planidea SA, and ancillary hospitality revenue from the Bistrôt restaurant and magazine.

Galli Group serves three primary customer segments: real estate investors (both pure investors seeking predefined returns and developers with existing projects), private property buyers and tenants in the Ticino and Grisons regions, and Swiss municipalities requiring spatial planning services. Distribution is direct, primarily field-based enterprise sales through the subsidiary companies, with Swiss core operations supplemented by project-based international engineering reach. The group is owned and controlled by Andrea Galli and his family, with no external institutional capital or public listing disclosed.
