Construction project management in Meyrin
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 Meyrin, where the firm has already run a storey addition on a residential block. Independent of contractors, it draws up the plans, files the permit application as a registered MPQ agent, works out the cost, organises the tenders and runs the site to SIA standards.
Your building work in Meyrin
Meyrin lies in the right-bank sector of the canton. The Meyrin profile published by OCSTAT shows 27,365 residents at the end of 2025 on 994 hectares, or 2,754 people per square kilometre.
According to the cantonal table of buildings, the municipality has 1,533 residential buildings at 31 December 2025. 737 are single-family houses, a little under half. The other 796 hold several dwellings. As for age, 231 buildings predate 1946 and 354 were built after 2000. The rest, more than six in ten, went up between those two dates.
That profile explains what owners ask for. In multi-dwelling buildings the work is flat renovation, a new facade or added floors. HMG has managed six storey additions on blocks in Geneva and Meyrin, one of them in timber and knows this kind of site. In houses, work tends to concern the envelope and the bathrooms.
The official Meyrin website (in French) sets out the municipal services.
Permits in Geneva
The fast-track procedure covers, among other things, work that does not alter the general appearance of a building. Adding storeys to a block falls outside that case and normally goes through the full application, called DD (demande définitive), the ordinary procedure. With rare exceptions it must be filed by a professional on the MPQ list, the cantonal register of qualified agents, as the cantonal page on preparing an application states. In a residential block the LDTR, the law on the conversion and renovation of housing, also governs work inside the dwellings.
The procedures are set out in our guide to building permits and procedures in Geneva.
Types of work in Meyrin
- Apartment renovation, since 796 buildings hold several dwellings.
- Facade renovation and insulation, a subject for blocks built before 2000.
- Building conversion, when the use or the volume changes.
- House renovation, because the municipality also has 737 single-family houses.
- Office fit-out, for a company setting up or reorganising its premises.
- Building trades, to understand who does what on site.
How HMG manages your project in Meyrin
A building owner or a PPE (co-owners' association) can give HMG the whole project, with study, plans and construction, and the permit application filed as an agent registered on the Geneva MPQ list (mandataires professionnellement qualifiés, the cantonal register of qualified building professionals). Where an architect has already secured the permit, HMG picks up the file at that stage and manages construction alongside them.
On a block, management starts with the programme, because tenants, the régie (the managing agent) and the contractors need dates in advance. The firm prepares tender documents trade by trade, compares bids, recommends awards, then chairs the site meetings and checks payment applications. On a house the method is the same at a different scale.
