Construction management means planning, coordinating and controlling the execution of a building site on behalf of the owner: contractors, timescales, costs, quality, handover. Immersia provides construction management in La Tour-de-Peilz, Vevey, Montreux and on the Swiss Riviera, in the canton of Vaud and in Valais.
Maxime Willemin, certified construction manager and partner at Immersia, runs the sites. Eric Bilard, former sales director at Losinger and Steiner, oversees the contractual and financial aspects.
Which sites
- Complete renovation of apartments, including in occupied buildings.
- Conversion and raising of villas and small buildings.
- Fit-out of medical practices, offices and professional premises.
- New buildings, under full construction management or as control of a general contractor.
- Sites of architects who delegate the execution phase.
Our construction management services
- Preparation: execution schedule, contractor agreements, organisation of the site and of relations with neighbours.
- Coordination: weekly meetings with minutes, progress monitoring, follow-up of contractors.
- Quality: compliance with plans and SIA standards, inspection of work before it is concealed.
- Costs: cost statement by CFC code (Swiss building cost classification), control of quantities and invoices, variations approved in writing before execution.
- Handover: minutes, list of defects and follow-up of their remedy, final account, as-built file, SIA 118 guarantees.
What you receive during the works
After each meeting, clear minutes. Each month, a one-page cost statement: committed, invoiced, final forecast, variance against budget. No expenditure is committed without your written agreement. At the end of the works, the as-built file brings together the as-built plans, the instructions and the guarantees.

Frequently asked questions about construction management
What is the difference between construction management and a general contractor?
The general contractor builds at an agreed price and within an agreed time: it is your contracting party. The independent construction manager works for you and controls the contractors, including a general contractor.
How much does construction management cost?
Fees depend on the length of the works and the number of trades. The first meeting is free of charge, then you receive a written proposal.
Do you support the handover of a new apartment?
Yes. Handover sets the start of the guarantee periods. We inspect the home with you, draw up the list of defects and follow up their remedy with the developer.
