Construction.
OAKS GROUP SA provides comprehensive construction management services for complex new-build projects and technically demanding renovations. Acting as the client's representative, we coordinate contractors, consultants and local authorities to ensure quality, schedule and budget compliance.
Our Approach
OAKS GROUP SA acts as an independent owner's representative, taking charge of the direction and coordination of all parties involved in a construction project. This independent position ensures rigorous defence of the client's interests, free from any conflict of interest with contracted firms.
Our team has a thorough command of the Swiss and Genevan regulatory framework: building permit procedures, requirements related to protected zones, application of the LDTR for works in built-up areas, as well as SIA standards and cantonal requirements regarding energy and safety.
What We Handle
Our construction management mandates cover the full project lifecycle:
- Feasibility analysis and early-stage advisory
- Selection and tendering of mandatories (architects, engineers, general contractors)
- Monitoring of administrative approvals with cantonal and municipal authorities
- Coordination of technical interfaces between trades
- Quality control, schedule management and budget oversight
- Works acceptance, defect management and administrative close-out
We work on new builds as well as complex renovations, in occupied buildings or on properties with heritage or particular technical constraints.
The Stages of a Mandate
- Framing — Definition of project objectives, programme and constraints
- Organisation — Assembly of the project team and establishment of governance procedures
- Planning — Development of the master schedule and preliminary budget
- Execution — Operational management of the site, regular reporting to the client
- Handover — Acceptance, defect resolution, delivery of project close-out documentation
Each stage is the subject of structured documentation, transmitted regularly to the client in a clear and usable format.
Who We Work With
Our services are intended for clients seeking a structured and independent partner to manage high-stakes projects in French-speaking Switzerland.
Our expertise is particularly valuable for embassies, institutional clients and organisations seeking a trusted and independent partner in Switzerland. We also support private owners, developers and companies that do not have the internal resources required to manage a construction project in Geneva or the canton of Vaud.
In-depth knowledge of the local landscape — stakeholders, authorities, market practices — represents a decisive advantage in reducing risk and anticipating obstacles.
Why OAKS GROUP
The value of an owner's representative lies in their capacity to anticipate, arbitrate and maintain direction over time. OAKS GROUP SA draws on consolidated experience in managing complex projects in French-speaking Switzerland, a proven methodological rigour and a network of qualified professionals.
Our independent positioning allows us to act exclusively in the client's interest, with the transparency and continuity that a construction project in Switzerland demands.
