Property project management means entrusting a single point of contact with the complete running of a project: feasibility, financial plan, building permit, consultants, tenders, budget, schedule and handover. As a property project manager in La Tour-de-Peilz, Immersia runs construction, conversion and value-enhancement projects on the Swiss Riviera, in the canton of Vaud and in Valais.
Eric Bilard, founder of Immersia, was sales director at Losinger, then Steiner. He puts this experience of large general contractors at the service of owners, investors and institutions without a technical team.
Project manager, owner’s representative, construction manager: who does what?
- The project manager runs the project from start to finish, from strategy to marketing.
- The owner’s representative (AMO) represents the owner on a defined project and controls costs, timescales and quality.
- The construction manager runs the site, from tender to handover.
At Immersia, property project management encompasses owner’s representation and can include construction management, provided in-house by Maxime Willemin, certified construction manager.
Our property project management assignments
- Brief and feasibility: municipal regulations, easements, costed options.
- Financial plan and financing: budget by CFC code (Swiss building cost classification), yield, bank file.
- Building permit: coordination of the application, follow-up with the municipality and the canton, objections.
- Consultants and tenders: selection of the architect and engineers, comparison of offers, contract awards.
- Budget, schedule and monthly reporting: committed costs, critical path, decisions to be taken.
- Marketing and handover: pricing strategy, sale or letting, lists of defects, final account, SIA 118 guarantees.
When to appoint a project manager
Before buying a plot of land, before submitting a permit application, or when a project is stalled: permit close to expiry, offers above budget, consultants in dispute, marketing at a standstill. Each mandate starts with an audit and proceeds in stages, with deliverables and a decision on whether to continue at each phase.

Frequently asked questions about property project management
How much does property project management cost?
Fees depend on the scale of the mandate and the phases entrusted to us. The first meeting and the analysis of your file are free of charge; you then receive a detailed written proposal.
Can you take over a project already under way?
Yes. In Blonay, La Tour-de-Peilz and Saint-Maurice, we came in after the permit, during the works or after unsuccessful tenders. A takeover starts with an audit: contracts, budget, schedule, risks.
Do you work in Valais?
Yes. We have been managing the Saint-Laurent district in Saint-Maurice since 2023, have worked in Mase and Crans-Montana, and our architect has worked in studios in Martigny. We know the Valais procedures and local contractors.
