Modernisation offers enormous potential
All our know-how from a single source
Because the future belongs to densification in construction as well as the obligation towards nature, resources and our society. The interplay of consulting, planning and implementation skills ensures economic, ecological and constructional advantages for both customer and project. As a partner for inventory analyses, planning, project management and execution, we always focus on a sustainable increase in the yield and value of your property.
Building fabric in new splendor
The Brannhof
If ageing properties are to be preserved for future generations, they need a fitness cure. The Implenia Modernization team specializes in sustainably preparing buildings for a new life cycle while preserving what is worth protecting, as the example of the 1912 Brannhof department store on Zurich's Bahnhofstrasse shows.
Project management
Implenia takes care of the coordination and implementation of all types of conversion/renovation and revitalisation projects.
Regardless of the size or volume of a project, we accompany you professionally through all project phases with the aim of generating sustainable and maximum added value for you.
Our specialists initiate, plan, control and monitor your project right through to completion. Implenia has therefor its own project management procedures that have often proven themselves in practice.
As Implenia also builds itself, all services can be offered from a single source. Find out more!
Pollutant cleanup
Pollutants such as asbestos, PCBs and PAHs pose considerable risks to people and the environment.
Implenia is a remediation company recognised by SUVA for pollutants.
Our experts are at your side with expert advice and a great deal of practical experience when it comes to appropriate renovation
In buildings constructed before 1990, such building materials are often used. We do not only want to be a trustworthy partner for our customers, but we also take our responsibility towards our employees and society seriously: equipment and work processes comply with all applicable standards and with a recurring inspection of our procedures, we guarantee the quality and safety of our work in the long term.
Let us give you competent advice from risk analysis to professional disposal. Of course, we also renovate inhabited properties in such a way that there is no danger to your tenants at any time.
Design models
You have the choice between different models
Further modernisation services
The clever renovation of an old building is often preferable to a new construction. To decide what makes sense in each case, it is therefore worthwhile to call in an expert at an early stage.
We will be happy to assist you!

Lean is simply brilliant
The principles behind a lean philosophy are also proving their worth in the department of Modernisation. A new online planning tool helps to avoid idle time on the construction site. The team around Caroline Beyerle, Roland Bamert and Henning Puhl is mastering a pilot project in Zurich.
