Construction project management in Vandœuvres
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 the renovation, extension or construction of your villa in Vandœuvres, where 730 of the 855 residential buildings are single-family houses. An independent Geneva firm, HMG draws up the plans, files the permit application as a registered MPQ agent, prices the project and directs the contractors.
Why do villas dominate building work in Vandœuvres?
The answer is in the figures. The cantonal table of buildings counts 855 residential buildings in Vandœuvres at 31 December 2025, of which 730 are single-family houses. That is more than eight buildings in ten. Only 125 buildings hold several dwellings. The OCSTAT profile of the municipality also records 3,129 residents at the end of 2025 on 442 hectares, or 708 people per square kilometre.
These houses are not all the same age. 191 buildings were completed before 1946, more than one in five, and 240 after 2000, more than one in four. The former need particular care with the roof, the facades and the original materials. The latter lend themselves to interior alterations. In between, many houses are reaching the point where an energy renovation makes sense.
The official Vandœuvres website (in French) gives practical information about the municipality.
Permits in Geneva
An energy renovation is prepared before anything is ordered. The CECB+ certificate describes the energy condition of the building and sets out renovation options. Subsidies from the Programme Bâtiments (the national buildings programme) must be applied for before work starts, never afterwards.
As for the building permit, our guide to building permits and procedures in Geneva explains when a fast-track procedure (APA) is enough and when a full application (DD) is required. Applications are handled by the Office des autorisations de construire (OAC), the cantonal permit office.

How HMG runs your project in Vandœuvres
The first thing to settle is who you deal with. Many villa owners want a single point of contact, and HMG then takes on the plans, the permit application, the budget and the site. Others have chosen an architect to design their house. In that case HMG takes over the file once the permit is granted and manages construction in collaboration with them.
The firm has managed five villas. On this kind of job it sets a detailed budget before tendering, tracks every change requested along the way and tells you what it costs before it is carried out. Site meetings, checks against SIA standards and invoice verification continue until acceptance.

Frequently asked questions
What share of buildings in Vandœuvres are villas?
According to OCSTAT, 730 of the 855 residential buildings were single-family houses at 31 December 2025, more than eight in ten. The other 125 hold several dwellings.
When should subsidies for an energy renovation be requested?
Before work starts, which is the rule of the buildings programme. The firm builds this application into the schedule from the design stage.
Can the firm handle the construction of a new villa?
Yes. The firm draws up the plans, files the permit application as an agent on the MPQ list (the cantonal register of qualified building professionals), works out the cost and manages the site. If you have an architect, it takes over the file after the permit.
