What Studio Ingegneria Sciarini Sa does

Studio Ingegneria Sciarini SA is a Swiss civil engineering consultancy headquartered in Vira Gambarogno, Ticino, operating since 1970 and incorporated as a Swiss corporation (SA) in 2007. The firm delivers integrated engineering services across seven sectors: hydraulics, structures, geotechnics, traffic, geomatics, architecture, and construction management, covering the full project lifecycle from feasibility studies and preliminary design through definitive design, executive design, tendering, construction management, and expert appraisals. It serves both public-sector clients (municipal, cantonal, and federal government entities such as communes in Gambarogno and Minusio, FART, and Swiss Federal Railways) and private-sector clients (Aldi Locarno, industrial developers in Cadenazzo), with work concentrated in the Ticino region of Switzerland.

The firm's technical capabilities are built on industry-standard engineering software rather than proprietary technology: Archicad 3D and AutoCAD 3D for architecture; AxisVM, IDEA, Cubus, and Allplan 3D for structural analysis and BIM; InfoWorks ICM and QGIS for hydraulic modeling; LARIX and MAX for geotechnical calculation; Cadwork and AutoTURN for traffic engineering; and Leica Multistation laser scanning and theodolites for geomatics. It holds ISO 9001 quality management certification and is affiliated with Swiss professional associations (SIA, SuisseIng, OTIA, SVIT), supporting credibility in public-sector bidding.

The business model is professional services delivered on a project-by-project basis, primarily through direct client engagement with no intermediary channels. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. Revenue is generated from engineering consulting fees for public tenders and private development projects, with ownership remaining within the founding Sciarini family and no external investors identified. The firm employs over 50 professionals and is actively recruiting, with no disclosed M&A, funding rounds, or international expansion.
