Hürlimann Bau AG

What Hürlimann Bau AG does

Hürlimann Bau AG is a privately held Swiss construction services company (Aktiengesellschaft) headquartered in Bütschwil, Canton St. Gallen, with a secondary Werkhof depot in Bazenheid. Founded in 1997 and family-controlled (Jan Hürlimann as CEO, Arnold Hürlimann as Deputy CEO), the firm operates as a regional KMU with approximately 75 full-time employees and 8 apprentices, serving municipalities, commercial clients, and private homeowners primarily in the Toggenburg region and adjacent cantons including Thurgau.

The company delivers two integrated service lines: Gartenbau (garden landscaping) and Tief- und Strassenbau (civil engineering and road construction). Under civil engineering it offers road construction (Strassenbau), earthworks (Erdbau), demolition (Rückbau), pipeline construction (Leitungsbau), water engineering (Wasserbau), and special underground construction (Spezialtiefbau). Technically, it runs a modern machinery fleet and employs specialized methods such as Emulsionsbauverfahren (emulsion-based construction) and Halbstarre Beläge (semi-rigid pavements) for cost-effective road rehabilitation. It has cumulatively served 2,433 customers across 4,687 projects and pursues larger tenders via consortium structures such as the 2018 ARGE joint venture with E. Weber AG for the Hulfteggpass project.

Revenue is generated through project-based professional services engagements: competitive bidding on municipal infrastructure contracts, direct engagement with commercial/industrial clients, and individually quoted private residential landscaping jobs. Pricing is bespoke per project; no standard pricing, software products, or recurring revenue streams are disclosed. The go-to-market is sales-led and regionally anchored, relying on direct relationships, project references showcased on the website and social channels (Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram), and a dedicated jobs page for talent acquisition. No external funding rounds, M&A activity, or parent-company relationships have been disclosed.
