PPVS Complete Facilities Management
Below are some of our group accreditations.
Sustainability built into every part of our service
We help you meet ESG targets, reduce environmental impact, and deliver compliant, efficient, and fully traceable FM across every site.
We align facility management with cantonal MuKEn rules and Minergie standards, feeding ESG frameworks like GRESB and CDP with measurable data.
From hard FM to soft FM, our multi-canton model combines sustainable procurement, energy-efficient systems, VKF fire and MuKEn compliance, and transparent Swiss reporting.
Integrated FM delivers fast payback, operational continuity, and clear advantages over running separate contracts across cantons and language regions.

Hard FM services are often required by law, to ensure the safety of employees and customers. It refers to the physical materials of a building which cannot be removed. PPVS provide a range of hard facilities management services for clients in verticals such as the commercial, retail and leisure sector.
Soft FM services, under human management, enhance workplace ambience, fostering a more enjoyable environment for all occupants. These variable services play a crucial role in improving the overall quality of the workspace, contributing to a positive and productive atmosphere.
Planned maintenance is carrying out repairs with the aim of ensuring that an asset does not fail. Planned maintenance refers to any maintenance activity that is planned, documented, and scheduled.
Reactive maintenance are repairs that are carried out after equipment has already become faulty. Reactive facilities management and maintenance focuses on repairing the equipment to operating conditions.

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.
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.
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.
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.
One provider accountable across cantons and languages, not a contract per region.
Clear, multi-canton reporting and predictable budgets that stand up to rigorous procurement review.
Fast, dependable response delivered to a Swiss quality standard.
Cantonal and federal obligations actively managed, with a full audit trail.
Every job, asset and compliance record across your Swiss estate lives in one place: our Computer-Aided Facility Management (CAFM) system. Across cantons and languages, it gives each decision-maker a single, consistent view:
It is also your compliance record. Asset registers, VKF-aligned inspection certificates and energy data sit in one auditable trail, ready for fire-safety checks and to evidence performance against cantonal energy rules.
