Haller Wasser + partner SA

What Haller Wasser + partner SA does

Haller Wasser + partner SA is a Geneva-based surveying and geomatics engineering firm operating under Swiss private company (SA) form, co-founded in 1974 by patented surveyors Christian Haller and Frédéric Wasser. The firm traces its technical heritage to the 1884 establishment of the first network of precise measurements in the Swiss Alps, and operates today from its headquarters at Rue Blavignac 10 in Carouge, Geneva, with a staff of approximately 21. Its core business is professional surveying services delivered to both public authorities (cantonal and communal governments, OFROU, HUG, CERN) and private developers, banks, luxury corporates, and international organizations. Services span official surveying (cadastral works, parcel division, PPE documentation, land register updates), geomatics (GIS, 3D modeling, digital twins), land management strategy, site works (construction layout, deformation monitoring, sub-millimeter alignment), BIM, topographic studies, and expert advisory.

The firm's service delivery is built on a broad technology stack including laser scanning, drone photogrammetry, LIDAR and mobile mapping, GNSS/GPS, total stations, robotic monitoring sensors, and the Bimprinter and Mechasys XR laser projection systems for BIM-driven construction layout. AI-assisted point cloud classification and modeling is applied to 3D data processing, with integration into GeBâti (Spatial SA) for PPE documentation, Esri GIS for cantonal cadastre, and BIM Revit for 3D model delivery. Notable technical credentials include sub-millimeter alignment work on CERN particle accelerators (1997-2010, returning 2024) and real-time monitoring capabilities demonstrated by a 3 cm deformation detection on an OFROU highway project within 40 minutes.

The revenue model is project-based professional services (fee-for-service), with pricing determined per engagement scope rather than published rates. The go-to-market relies on long-standing institutional relationships (50+ years operating history, 20,873+ projects), competitive bidding for public mandates, professional association memberships (AGG, SIA, Geosuisse), and reputation-driven referrals, complemented by LinkedIn, Instagram, and YouTube presence. The firm's value proposition rests on its patented surveyor credentials (EPFL-SIA), which confer legal authority to produce official cadastral documents, combined with multi-decade institutional trust across marquee clients including CERN, the World Economic Forum, HUG, JTI, Vacheron Constantin, Banque Pictet, and OFROU.

Core offering

Haller Wasser + partner SA is a Geneva-based Swiss surveying and geomatics engineering firm that delivers official cadastral surveying, land management, BIM (Building Information Modeling), site works monitoring, geomatics studies, and expert advisory services to public authorities, private developers, and corporate clients across property, infrastructure, and mobility projects.

Product overview

Haller Wasser + partner SA is a surveying and geomatics engineering firm offering a comprehensive suite of services including Official Surveying (cadastral works, parcel division, PPE documentation), Geomatics (GIS, 3D modeling, digital twins), Land Management and Strategy, Site Works, BIM services, Studies, and Expertises and Advises. The firm operates as a unified service company rather than a product platform, providing these services across Switzerland with particular expertise in Geneva. The services are supported by advanced technologies including Laser Scanning, Drone Surveying, LIDAR and Mobile Mapping, GPS/GNSS, Total Stations, XR Projectors/Bimprinters, and AI-assisted point cloud processing. The company integrates with GeBâti software (Spatial SA) for PPE documents, Esri for GIS/cadastre database standards, and BIM Revit for 3D modeling delivery.

Broad incumbents

• Hexagon (Leica Geosystems): Global surveying technology and solutions provider (Leica Geosystems) supplying total stations, GNSS, laser scanners and monitoring systems used by Haller Wasser. Comparable as a broad incumbent spanning equipment, software and end-to-end geospatial services.
• Emch+Berger AG: Swiss engineering group with surveying, infrastructure and environment practices. Comparable on official surveying and construction monitoring but operates as a much larger multi-disciplinary incumbent across Switzerland.
• Basler & Hofmann AG: Established Swiss engineering and surveying consultancy with national reach across infrastructure, building and environment. Overlaps with Haller Wasser on surveying, BIM and construction site works but operates at substantially greater scale and breadth.

Direct peers

• BR+ Ingénieurs: Patented surveyors firm active in Canton Vaud, Switzerland. Haller Wasser's strategic partner in the GEVA-3 consortium for cross-canton public mandates; offers near-identical official surveying, land management and BIM services.
• Suisseplan Ingenieure AG: Swiss surveying and spatial planning firm providing official surveying, cadastral and engineering services with similar client profile (public authorities, developers). Directly comparable on regulated surveying services and BIM.
• Geotop SA: Belgian firm of patented surveyors (ingénieurs géomètres brevetés), long-standing Haller Wasser partner on CERN accelerator alignment mandates (1997–2000 and 2024). Directly comparable in official cadastral surveying, construction site works and ultra-precision industrial alignment.
• Hyp-Arc Monitoring SA: Swiss structural and tunnel monitoring specialist; co-delivers Haller Wasser's real-time deformation monitoring offering and is a CERN consortium partner. Comparable on infrastructure monitoring services and instrumentation.
• B+C Ingénieurs SA: Geneva-based patented surveyors and engineering firm with comparable official surveying, land management and construction site services. Direct local competitor for cantonal and private mandates in the Geneva region.
• TPLM 3D: French surveying firm specializing in special surveys and 3D measurement for industry, construction, heritage and architecture. Haller Wasser partner for international projects including offshore Atlantic platforms; directly comparable on 3D laser scanning and BIM-grade deliverables.

Others

• Spatial SA: Swiss software firm developing GeBâti for property subdivision (PPE) documentation; integrated daily into Haller Wasser's cadastral workflow. Adjacent enabling peer in the surveying software ecosystem rather than a direct competitor.
