What Lukas Domeisen AG does

Lukas Domeisen AG is a Swiss surveying, geomatics, and municipal engineering firm headquartered in Uznach (Canton St. Gallen) with a branch office in Jona, operating under the brands IGD and geometer.biz. Founded in 1969 by Paul Domeisen as a sole proprietorship and led since 1996 by Lukas Domeisen, the firm holds certified engineer-surveyor (patenter Ingenieur-Geometer) status and is the appointed Nachführungsgeometer (official cadastral surveyor) for 10 municipalities in the St. Gallen Linthgebiet, with additional cantonal coverage in Schwyz and Glarus via the subsidiaries Geodata Glarus AG (wholly owned) and GEO Netz AG (jointly controlled, co-founded 2018). The firm provides official land surveying, property mutations, construction surveying, building and terrain measurement, deformation and vibration monitoring, crack documentation, BIM/BIM2FIELD digital workflows, GIS and geoportal services, and utility cadastre, utilizing 3D laser scanning, drone photogrammetry, GNSS/GPS, total stations, and seismic sensors. Pricing is quote-based per project, with reference points such as crack protocols from CHF 400 and 3D building surveys from CHF 2,000-3,000 plus modeling fees of CHF 5,000-7,000. The go-to-market is sales-led and direct, with no intermediary channels; services are delivered through the two physical offices and on-site in the field. Distribution relies on the official surveyor mandate, regional reputation, and an organic digital presence (website, LinkedIn, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook) rather than paid advertising. The company is privately held, family-owned, ISO 9001:2008 certified (since 2010), and operates with a team of approximately 20+ employees supplemented by apprentices and subsidiary staff.

Broad incumbents

• B+S AG: Bern-based Swiss engineering consultancy providing surveying, geoinformatics, and infrastructure services. Comparable to Lukas Domeisen AG in core surveying and municipal engineering offerings but with broader geographic and disciplinary reach, positioning it as a broader incumbent in the same category.
• Basler & Hofmann AG: Large Swiss engineering consultancy offering surveying, geoinformatics, and infrastructure services nationwide. Comparable because it operates in the same Swiss surveying/engineering space with overlapping service lines (GIS, deformation monitoring, cadastral work), but at much larger scale and across multiple regions versus Lukas Domeisen AG's regional focus.
• Emch+Berger AG: Established Swiss engineering firm with surveying, geoinformatics, and municipal engineering practices across Switzerland. Comparable to Lukas Domeisen AG in service portfolio (official surveying, GIS, construction support) but operates as a broad multi-disciplinary consultancy with multiple regional offices.

Direct peers

• Grünenfelder + Partner AG: Swiss regional surveying and engineering firm providing official cadastral surveying, construction surveying, and geomatics services. Comparable to Lukas Domeisen AG as a similarly-sized regional surveying practice serving municipal clients in a defined Swiss territory.
• Acht Grad Ost AG: Swiss regional surveying and geoinformatics firm offering cadastral surveying, GIS, and construction surveying services. Comparable to Lukas Domeisen AG as a similarly-positioned regional surveying specialist with comparable service mix and public-sector client base.
