Total facility management across Switzerland

Swiss estates demand precision, and they are often maintained through many separate specialist contracts. PPVS consolidates them into one integrated facility management agreement covering every discipline and location, with the reporting clarity and quality Swiss clients expect, whether sites sit in German, French or Italian-speaking regions.

 

  • Zürich and the German-speaking cantons
  • Geneva, Lausanne and French-speaking Romandy
  • Basel (life sciences and pharma)
  • Bern, and Lugano in Italian-speaking Ticino

 

Switzerland often forms part of a wider European estate despite sitting outside the EU. PPVS manages it within that footprint, applying consistent standards, reporting and escalation across the border.

 

Coordinating engineers across cantons and language regions, to a Swiss quality bar, is where many providers fall short. We mobilise a vetted specialist network so expanding from Zürich to Geneva or Lugano never means adding suppliers, and you scale across the country under one contract and one point of contact.

Facility management built around Swiss compliance

Switzerland regulates buildings largely at cantonal level, so a credible facility management partner has to work fluently across cantonal rules while meeting nationally recognised standards.

 

Cantonal energy rules (MuKEn) and Minergie

Energy requirements for buildings are set by the cantons and harmonised through the Model Cantonal Energy Regulations (MuKEn), with MuKEn 2014 applied in most cantons and MuKEn 2025 being phased in between 2025 and 2028, alongside the federal CO2 Act. Many buildings also target the voluntary Minergie efficiency label. Planned, data-led maintenance of heating, cooling and controls is central to operating within these standards. This feeds directly into ESG reporting. The energy and plant data we capture lets you evidence performance against cantonal requirements and your own sustainability targets, giving owners, boards and tenants a clear record rather than estimates.

 

VKF fire protection and SIA standards

Fire protection follows the VKF (Association of Cantonal Fire Insurers) regulations that apply nationwide, while maintenance and operation are guided by SIA norms such as SIA 469 on the upkeep of structures. We keep statutory inspections, fire-safety measures and documentation current to those standards across every site.

Facility management for every environment

Commercial facility management in Switzerland

For the banks, insurers and corporate headquarters of Zürich and Geneva, we protect building performance and compliance while giving property teams predictable costs and one supplier across cantons. Ideal for facilities managers, heads of property and estates directors with multi-canton portfolios.

 

Retail facility management in Switzerland

For stores, chains and shopping centres, presentation and precision are expected. We provide fast reactive response and consistent standards in every language region, with work scheduled around trading hours.

 

Industrial and logistics facility management in Switzerland

For pharmaceutical, precision-manufacturing and logistics sites, particularly around Basel, uptime and compliance are critical. Our engineers understand plant, controlled environments, building services and the standards that keep technical Swiss operations running.

  • Planned (PPM): preventative maintenance that reduces breakdowns and supports cantonal energy targets.
