Construction project management in Chêne-Bougeries
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 in Chêne-Bougeries, a municipality of 14,906 residents with 1,363 single-family houses. The firm prepares the drawings and the permit file as an agent registered on the Geneva MPQ list (mandataires professionnellement qualifiés, the cantonal register of qualified building professionals), sets the budget, consults contractors and supervises the works to SIA standards.
What gets renovated in Chêne-Bougeries?
With 14,906 residents on 414 hectares, Chêne-Bougeries reaches 3,600 inhabitants per km² according to the OCSTAT municipal profile. The table of residential buildings counts 1,904 of them at the end of 2025. Single-family houses make up more than seven in ten (1,363), and the other 541 buildings contain several dwellings.
The stock spans several periods. There are 582 buildings from before 1946 and 489 built after 2000. A project manager therefore has to handle the old villa in need of a deep renovation, the recent house to be extended and the apartment to be altered in an occupied building. The official Chêne-Bougeries website fills in the rest for anything handled by the municipality.
Procedures in Geneva
Two laws come up often in projects here. The LCI, the cantonal building act, sets the construction rules, including those of the villa zone. The LDTR is the act that regulates works to dwellings in residential buildings. Before filing online, the Canton recommends a geo-analysis of the constraints on the plot. Our guide to building permits in Geneva explains how these texts apply.
Types of work in Chêne-Bougeries

- House extension, to be studied against the rules that apply to the plot.

- Energy renovation, first of all for the 582 buildings from before 1946.
- Villa construction, when a new house replaces a renovation project.
How HMG manages your project in Chêne-Bougeries
HMG has managed five villas, and this kind of project always follows one of two routes. Either the firm carries the whole job, from the survey to handover, including the plans and the permit application. Or an architect produces the design and obtains the permit, and HMG takes over alongside them for the tenders and the site.
Either way, you receive a budget broken down by trade before you sign a single contract. The schedule sets the order of the trades, site meetings are minuted and every invoice is checked. When the house stays occupied, the site is divided into zones.

Frequently asked questions
How many single-family houses are there in Chêne-Bougeries?
OCSTAT counts 1,363 at the end of 2025, out of 1,904 residential buildings. That is why villa renovation, extensions and added storeys are the most frequent requests in the municipality.
Can a storey be added to a villa in Chêne-Bougeries?
It depends on the rules that apply to the plot and on the structure of the house. HMG checks both before drawing up the plans, then files the application with the cantonal permit office.
Which procedure applies to renovating a condominium apartment?
An interior alteration to an existing building comes under the fast-track procedure (APA), and the LDTR applies to works inside dwellings in residential buildings. HMG checks what applies to your project and also deals with the régie (the managing agent) or the administrator of the PPE (the condominium).
