General Contractor & Project Management
Project Management, Direction of Work Geneva
We manage the execution of complex residential renovations: planning, tendering, coordination of trades, financial monitoring and acceptance.
Why project management is crucial in renovation
In an existing building, the construction site imposes its own rules: structures, networks, co-ownership constraints, access, neighborhood.
The difficulties rarely come from the project itself, but from the moment the decisions are made.
A structured project management approach ensures that decisions are made before construction begins, not during.
Our approach to project management
A structured organization upstream, careful management on site and constant monitoring until acceptance.
Execution-oriented
Management based on the reality of the construction site, not solely on initial intentions.
Based on sequencing
The order of decisions and interventions is defined before the start of work, to avoid late adjustments.
Timely Decisions
Critical points are agreed upon with the client and the architect at fixed dates, before they block the construction site.
Active Coordination
Between architects, companies, suppliers and site constraints, with site meetings and minutes.
What the mission includes
Preparation for execution
–– descriptions, measurements, calls for tenders, comparison of offers, recommendation for award
Planning and sequencing
– Order of interventions, procurement deadlines, decision dates
On-site coordination
–– site meetings, arbitration between trades, management of unforeseen events
Budget monitoring
–– monitoring of situations, change orders, and discrepancies from the approved budget
Quality and reception
–– execution checks, reservations, resolution of defects, handover of the work
Why and how?
Project management and collaboration with Architects
- The architect retains the design, intent, plans and permitting procedures.
- We take care of the operational management: budget, planning, coordination and execution.
- The two roles converge already at the feasibility stage, when design choices have the greatest impact on cost and time.
The execution-oriented direction of work does not replace design. It protects it.
For which projects?
- Complete renovations of apartments or villas
- Projects involving several interdependent trades
- Existing buildings with technical or structural constraints
- Construction sites in occupied or co-owned properties
- High-end finishes (natural stone, custom joinery)
Why is it important for the client?
- Decisions made before construction, not under pressure
- A clear and concise schedule and steps from beginning to end.
- Budget monitored and variances reported throughout the execution process
- A single point of contact for businesses

Reception and tracking
The management of the works is part of our approach as a general contracting company in Geneva .
The earlier feasibility, budget and execution are aligned, the more the project is controlled.
Our positioning
We don’t simply act as site supervisors. We provide committed and structured project management, tailored to the realities of renovations in Geneva.
The difference between a tense construction site and a controlled one does not lie in the ambition of the project, but in the moment when the complexity is taken into account.

Let's talk about your project
Whether a private client, architect or designer: the feasibility visit allows us to define the scope, risks and budget before any commitment to construction.
FAQ
What is the difference between a construction project manager and an architect?
The architect designs and submits the permits. The project manager plans the execution, coordinates the construction site and controls quality, deadlines and costs.
Is a project manager required for an apartment?
As soon as several trades are involved, or when the structure, networks or co-ownership come into play.
Can you work with my architect?
Yes. The architect retains the initial design, which we help to develop; we then intervene in the execution.
How is it invoice?
It is defined from the feasibility stage, according to the scope and complexity of the project.
Do you intervene in PPE?
Yes, taking into account the regulations, access and authorizations of the condominium.
