Innovative Ideas
with 100 years of experience
We are an architecture and general planning office with over 100 years of experience in the implementation of complex construction projects of various sizes. People and the project are always at the center of our activities.
A deep understanding of quality, responsibility, and architectural clarity, as well as in-depth knowledge of current and future challenges, shape the way we work. We continue to live by the principles of our founders, Otto Rudolf Salvisberg and Otto Brechbühl and are constantly evolving.
Our strategy is reflected in our organization: We are firmly rooted in our locations. At the same time, we share our knowledge, operate as an open network and create a cross-location competence system. This working environment makes our office attractive for both young and experienced employees.
«IB embraces a culture of collaboration and knowledge sharing. There is no single chief architect who decides everything—we are a collective. We consistently apply this principle at all levels»
Jan Stöcker, Chairman of the Executive Board
Values that we advocate
Trustworthiness
We are a reliable and consistent partner as IB is an independent enterprise. We take responsibility for our projects, ensuring their successful conclusion. Our pledge is backed by our expertise.
Solution oriented
We support projects in every sector. Never losing sight of the big picture, we develop solutions based on a spirit of partnership, regardless of how complicated the task is.
Visionary
We are acutely aware of the impact of our activities on society, the environment and the future. Our solutions are a precise and specific response to the challenges of tomorrow.
We are IB
Everything from a single source
We combine project management, design, planning and construction management into a continuous process and take responsibility for the entire life cycle—from the idea to realization and to the demolition of the building.
In doing so, we always keep an eye on the magic triangle of costs, deadlines and quality to ensure optimal results for our customers.
