What Weber + Brönnimann AG does

Weber + Brönnimann is an independent Swiss planning office that has operated continuously since 1964, providing integrated engineering and landscape architecture services across three locations in Bern, Nidau, and Zofingen. The firm is organized as two wholly-owned legal entities — Weber + Brönnimann Bauingenieure AG (structural and civil engineering) and Weber + Brönnimann Landschaftsarchitekten AG (landscape architecture) — that collaborate under one roof as an interdisciplinary team. Services span Hochbau (structural engineering for buildings and bridges), Tiefbau (civil engineering for roads, utilities, drainage, and rail), and Landschaftsarchitektur (landscape and open-space design), with all teams planning and building using BIM (Building Information Modeling) methodology.

The firm's client base is split between Swiss public-sector buyers (federal agencies such as SBB and BAG, cantonal and municipal authorities, public educational institutions, zoos, and cultural-heritage bodies) and private developers in the residential, commercial, and industrial segments. Project work is won primarily through Swiss architecture and engineering competitions and direct mandates, with a track record of first-prize competition wins, the Prix Acier steel construction award, and Berner Baukultur recognition. Geographic reach is national, with projects delivered from Lake Constance to Lake Geneva in both German and French.

Revenue is generated through professional-services fees on project-based engagements with custom pricing; the firm employs approximately 50 people across its three offices and operates as a privately held partnership-style entity with an extended management board of Associés. The company is currently in a multi-year generational succession, having restructured into two entities in 2020 and initiated shareholder-base expansion for the Bauingenieure entity in 2022. No external institutional investors, funding rounds, or public-market listings are present in the company's history.
