Construction project management in Bellevue
Planning building work? Apartment, house or building renovation, a new storey or a roof extension, running the project is our job.
HMG Construction Management SA manages building work for owners in Bellevue, a right-bank municipality where the single-family house dominates. You deal with one firm. It checks what the plot allows, prepares and files the permit application as a registered MPQ agent, compares the contractors' bids and manages the site through to acceptance.
Your building work in Bellevue
Bellevue has built a great deal since the turn of the century. The OCSTAT table of buildings counts 718 residential buildings at 31 December 2025, of which 228 were built after 2000, close to a third, against 89 before 1946. Recent buildings therefore outnumber old ones by more than two to one.
Single-family houses make up most of the stock, with 552 units, more than three buildings in four. The municipal profile gives 4,089 residents at the end of 2025 on 436 hectares. In a house built after 2000, the structure and envelope are generally sound. The work is about how the house is used, with a kitchen to open up, a bathroom to modernise, an extension or a storey to add. The 89 buildings from before 1946, by contrast, need a full examination before any decision.

Permits in Geneva
Redoing a kitchen or a bathroom without touching the exterior normally falls under the fast-track procedure (APA), which covers interior changes to an existing building. Adding volume is another matter, and the cantonal building law (LCI) sets the rules to follow, including those of the villa zone. The canton describes the permit types, and our guide to procedures in Geneva helps you place your project.
Types of work in Bellevue
- Villa renovation, for the 552 single-family houses in the municipality.
- Kitchen renovation, the first interior job in a recent villa.
- Bathroom renovation, often combined with the kitchen.
- House extension, to gain floor area at ground level.
- Adding a storey, if the plot leaves no room at ground level.
- Energy renovation, worth considering on the 89 buildings from before 1946.
How HMG manages your project in Bellevue
The firm fits in with the team you already have. If you have no one, HMG draws the project, files the application as an agent registered on the Geneva MPQ list (mandataires professionnellement qualifiés, the cantonal register of qualified building professionals) and runs the site. If you work with an architect, they design and obtain the permit, after which HMG takes over the file and works with them throughout construction.
Even for interior works, a lived-in villa calls for a tight programme. HMG groups the trades to shorten the time without a kitchen or bathroom, orders long-lead items in good time and holds one meeting a week with the contractors. Every invoice is checked before it is passed to you for payment.

Frequently asked questions
Has Bellevue seen much recent building?
Yes. 228 of the 718 residential buildings date from after 2000 according to OCSTAT, close to a third, while 89 predate 1946.
Is project management worth it for a kitchen and a bathroom?
It helps as soon as several trades follow one another, which is the case here with plumbing, electrics, tiling and joinery. The firm tells you at the first visit whether an appointment makes sense.
Can you live in the villa during the works?
Often yes. The contractors then work room by room, so part of the house is always usable. Heavy work on the structure or the roof may require a temporary move.
