Beck Schwimmbadbau

What Beck Schwimmbadbau does

Beck Schwimmbadbau AG (BSB), founded in 2015 and headquartered in Winterthur, Switzerland (Bürglistrasse 29), describes itself as the only planning office in Switzerland exclusively focused on the planning of public swimming facilities. The firm provides general planning (Generalplanung), specialist planning (Fachplanung), and client advisory (Bauherrenberatung) services for indoor pools, outdoor pools, teaching pools, therapy pools, hotel pools, leisure pools, and large fountain installations. Its integrated service spectrum covers condition assessment, design, construction management, and operational support including maintenance planning, and spans four technical disciplines: architecture, bath water treatment technology (Badewasseraufbereitungstechnik, including modern filtration, salt electrolysis, ultrafiltration), building services engineering (Haustechnik), and landscape architecture. Design and execution are supported by modern CAD technology.

The company operates a professional services model, generating revenue through project-based mandates as either general planner or specialist consultant, with projects procured primarily through Swiss public tender processes for municipalities, schools, and public bath operators. Documented project construction values in its reference portfolio range from approximately CHF 0.3 million (Flughafen Zürich Himmelsplattform BWA specialist planning) to CHF 29 million (Freizeitbad Bruggwiesen, Opfikon), with several CHF 5–14 million municipal and healthcare mandates. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is quoted per mandate. The go-to-market relies on direct enterprise sales to public sector clients, supplemented by partnerships with general contractors (e.g., BESIX Schweiz), referral relationships with its German sister company Beck Schwimmbadplanung GmbH, annual industry events (Tag der badenden Meister), trade-show presence (SwissBad, Hospitality Summit), and earned media in industry publications.

The company is founder-owned (Inhaber: Roland Beck), privately held, and operates without disclosed external investment or subsidiaries. Its customer base is dominated by Swiss municipal and cantonal public-sector clients, with selected private-sector engagements in hospitality (Hotel Schweizerhof Lenzerheide), healthcare rehabilitation (Schweizer Paraplegiker-Stiftung), and infrastructure (Flughafen Zürich AG). The firm maintains multiple industry association memberships (IAKS Schweiz, HotellerieSuisse, Schwimmteichverband Schweiz, VHF, SVG, SSTh, Infrawatt, LAB, CRB, DGfDB, SFB, HKS) and contributes technical content to official publications.
