What Landis Bau does

Landis Bau AG is a privately held Swiss construction company (Aktiengesellschaft) headquartered at Feldpark 2, Zug, Switzerland, operating continuously since 1759. The company employs approximately 244 people, including 21 apprentices (~8.6% of the workforce) across four trades under a dedicated Head of Vocational Training. Operations are anchored by two facilities: the Zug headquarters and a Werkhof (workshop/fleet) facility in Baar that centralizes logistics, a vehicle fleet of 160 registered units, and 25 company-owned construction cranes repositioned approximately 20 times per year. Business is concentrated in the Canton of Zug and Central Switzerland, with no global footprint claim.

The company operates as a general contractor offering eight core competencies: Hochbau (high-rise), Tiefbau (civil engineering), Ingenieurbau (structural engineering), Umbau (renovation), Fassade (facade), Bautenschutz (building protection), Bohren Trennen (drilling and cutting), and Digitales Bauen (digital construction). The Digitales Bauen competency center deploys Building Information Modeling (BIM), BIM2Field integration, laser scanning, drone surveying, 3D excavator control, and Common Data Environments following ISO 19650 standards across the project lifecycle. The company additionally operates a mobile concrete mixing plant deployed on major sites (e.g., 12,700+ m³ annually at the Chama II project in Cham), enabling on-site production with >55% recycled concrete suitable for Minergie-Eco certification.

Revenue is generated through project-based construction contracts — primarily fixed-price and open book construction management — with both private and public clients. Named reference projects span residential developments (WUB Landhauspark, 94 units; Papieri-Areal/Cham Immobilien AG, 46 units), corporate headquarters (Hapimag AG), enterprise infrastructure (Siemens Schweiz AG district energy piping for heating/cooling up to 1,000 m³/h), and public sector works (Stadt Zug Industriestrasse renovation, Gemeinde Oberägeri stormwater drainage). Business is acquired through direct client relationships, public tenders, and repeat engagements in the regional market. The company holds ISO 14001 environmental management certification since 2005 and operates a photovoltaic system at the Werkhof (~90,000 kWh/year since 2013) plus a wood chip heating system that has saved >1,500 tonnes CO2 over 20+ years.
