Its portfolio spans residential, commercial, hospitality, industrial, and public-sector projects for clients including Swiss Life AG, Planted Foods AG, FRM Immobilien AG, Stadt Wil, Gemeinde Küsnacht, and the NAWOBA cooperative.

The firm also runs the modul B seminar program, founded by Pascal Scheidegger, which trains project managers in cross-disciplinary agile collaboration.

konzeptS generates revenue through project-based professional services fees, sourced primarily through direct client engagements, competitive tenders (NAWOBA, Gasthof Krone Forch), and referrals. Customer segments are led by private property owners, with secondary exposure to commercial/hospitality developers, public institutions, and food & beverage startups. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is negotiated per project. The firm has no external investors and operates with a lean team of approximately 11 employees.
