SBS AG

What SBS AG does

SBS AG, branded "SBS AG smart building solutions," is a privately held Swiss architecture and consulting firm headquartered in Pratteln, Basel-Country, and operating across German-speaking Switzerland. Founded in October 2015 by Christine Frey and Stefan Sick, the firm sells a unified service that merges architecture, process consulting, and stakeholder communication from project inception, with particular specialization in healthcare facilities (hospitals, care homes), cooperative and multi-family residential, office and industrial buildings, and selected hospitality and government projects. Its core differentiator is an "inside-out" planning methodology: interactive workshops with user groups define operational workflows and room sizes before any plans are drawn, intended to reduce both construction rework and lifetime operating costs for clients. The firm also executes projects while clients continue operating (e.g., hospital wards), handles interior design, 3D visualization, and post-completion guarantee monitoring, and has added a transactional real-estate arm via the Villa Ventana property sale in Pratteln.

The business operates as a B2B professional services firm with a team of approximately 20 professionals including co-founders, architects, interior designers, drafters, construction managers, project assistants, and apprentices. The technology stack is conventional: ArchiCAD for CAD/drafting, Bauadministration Messerli for building administration, MS Office and MS Project for project management. Revenue derives from project-based professional services fees on reference projects with disclosed Bausummen ranging from CHF 1.0M (Kardiologie Praxis Futuro) to CHF 4.7M (Villa Erica), supplemented by one-off property sales (Villa Ventana listed at CHF 1,084,000 including a CHF 10,000 interior budget credit). Customer engagement is direct via website, referrals, and project portfolio; there are no disclosed funding rounds, no institutional investors, no parent holding company, and no public listing. The firm is currently active, recruiting for additional architects, project leads, and draftsmen, suggesting continued capacity expansion.
