E. Weber AG

What E. Weber AG does

E. Weber AG is a Swiss, family-controlled full-service construction group headquartered at Ebnaterstrasse 79 in Wattwil, Canton of St. Gallen, operating continuously since 1919. The group delivers construction services across all major disciplines — Hochbau (building construction), Tiefbau (underground/civil engineering), Strassenbau (road construction), Fassadenbau/Dämmungen (facade construction and insulation), Umbauten/Renovationen (conversions and renovations), Umgebungsarbeiten (landscaping), Werkleitungen (utility connections), Belagsarbeiten and Pflästerungen (paving), Reparaturen/Unterhalt (repairs and maintenance), and Bohr- & Abbautechnik (drilling and demolition) — using an in-house workforce and modern machinery fleet. Operations run through six subsidiary offices across Wattwil, Bütschwil (Fust Bauunternehmung AG), Jona (Baumann Bauunternehmung AG), Rüti (Usseglio Bau AG), and Gähwil (Schellenbaum AG), with group oversight via Weber Bau Holding AG (founded 2006).

The business monetizes across three streams: construction services priced on a project-quote basis (from small repairs to complete new builds), real estate development and one-time sales executed through the WECOWA AG general contractor subsidiary (e.g., a 6.5-room single-family home at CHF 1,280,000 and a 3.5-room garden apartment at CHF 895,000 in Wattwil), and recurring rental income from company-owned residential and commercial properties (e.g., a 40 m² office in Gähwil at CHF 480/month inclusive). Go-to-market combines direct field sales for construction projects with direct-to-consumer marketing of properties through the company website and the newhome.ch platform. The company serves primarily private homeowners and property owners in the Toggenburg region, supplemented by commercial and industrial clients; it is privately held by the Weber family (third generation active since 1991) with no external shareholders, no public listing, and no disclosed revenue or funding figures.
