Construction project management in Meinier
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 Meinier, a municipality where one residential building in three predates 1946. The Geneva firm commissions the surveys, draws the plans, files the permit application as a registered MPQ agent, then organises the contractors and supervises the site to SIA standards.
What kind of work in Meinier?
According to the profile OCSTAT publishes for the municipality, Meinier has 2,111 residents at the end of 2025 on 695 hectares, or 304 people per square kilometre. It is a low-density municipality on the left bank, in the sector between the Arve and the lake.
The cantonal table of buildings counts 335 residential buildings there at 31 December 2025, 190 of them single-family houses. The figure that weighs most on building work is age. 113 buildings predate 1946, a third of the stock, while only 51 were built after 2000.
Renovating in Meinier therefore often means working on an old structure. Before finishes are discussed, the condition of the roof timbers, the covering, the walls and the services has to be known, along with whether hazardous substances are present. The budget is built on those findings, not on a rate per square metre.
The Meinier municipal website (in French) gives details of the local administration.
Permits in Geneva
On an old building the first step is the survey. The cantonal page on renovating, converting or demolishing safely covers asbestos, PCB and lead before works. Next comes the permit, issued by the Office des autorisations de construire (OAC), the cantonal building permit office.
If you are aiming for grants from the Programme Bâtiments (the Swiss buildings programme), they must be applied for before work starts. Our guide to building permits and procedures in Geneva puts these steps in order.

How HMG manages your project in Meinier
The owner of an old house has two ways to set up the team. HMG can lead everything, from measured survey and plans to tenders and site, filing the permit application as an agent registered on the Geneva MPQ list (mandataires professionnellement qualifiés, the cantonal register of qualified building professionals). If an architect has already designed the scheme and obtained the permit, HMG takes over for construction and works with them to the end.
With this kind of building, surprises appear during strip-out. The firm anticipates them with exploratory openings before pricing, sets a contingency in the budget and submits every change to you with its price before it is carried out. Each site meeting is minuted and you receive the minutes every time.

Frequently asked questions
How much of Meinier's housing is old?
According to OCSTAT, 113 of the 335 residential buildings in Meinier were built before 1946, roughly a third. Only 51 date from after 2000.
Is an asbestos survey needed before renovating an old house?
The State of Geneva has a page devoted to asbestos, PCB and lead before works. The firm commissions the survey at the start of the study so that the result feeds into the budget and the programme.
Does HMG also handle the permit application?
Yes. The firm draws up the plans and files the application as an agent registered on the MPQ list, the cantonal register of qualified building professionals. If you have an architect, they file it and the firm takes over afterwards.
