Construction project management in Veyrier
Planning building work? Apartment, house or building renovation, a new storey or a roof extension, running the project is our job.
Veyrier has 2,378 single-family houses, and HMG Construction Management SA manages building work for their owners, from renovation to an added storey. The independent firm, founded in Geneva in 2014, draws up the plans, files the permit application as a registered MPQ agent, prices the project and runs the site to SIA standards.
Your building work in Veyrier
Few Geneva municipalities have as many houses. The cantonal table of buildings counts 2,769 residential buildings in Veyrier at 31 December 2025, of which 2,378 are single-family houses. That leaves 391 buildings with several dwellings. The Veyrier municipal profile at OCSTAT gives 12,269 residents at the end of 2025 on 650 hectares, or 1,888 people per square kilometre.
The stock is young overall. 828 buildings were completed after 2000, close to three in ten, while only 296 go back to before 1946, barely more than one in ten. The great majority of buildings therefore date from the period in between or from this century.
On housing of this kind, three projects recur. The first is bringing a villa up to date when its kitchen, bathrooms and heating have had their day. The second is gaining floor area, through a ground-level extension or an extra storey. The third is a new build, on a vacant plot or after demolition.
The official Veyrier website (in French) brings together information about the municipality.
Permits in Geneva
Extending a villa or adding a storey changes its volume. The project is filed under the fast-track procedure (APA) if it lies in the fifth zone, the villa zone, and needs no exemption, and otherwise as a full application (DD). Applications under the ordinary procedure must, with rare exceptions, be filed by an agent on the MPQ list of qualified building professionals, as the cantonal page on preparing an application states.
If there is doubt about what the plot allows, a preliminary application (DP) gets an answer on envelope and volume. The fifth-zone rules are in the LCI, the law on buildings and installations. Our guide to building permits and procedures in Geneva sets these procedures side by side.
Types of work in Veyrier
- Villa renovation, for a municipality where 2,378 of 2,769 buildings are single-family houses.
- House extension, the most direct way to gain square metres.
- Adding a storey, when the garden has to stay as it is.
- Villa construction, for a new project run from the plot to the handover of keys.
- House energy renovation, for houses built before 2000.
- Kitchen renovation, often the trigger for a wider project.
How HMG runs your project in Veyrier
Before any talk of schedules, it has to be clear who does what. HMG can be the owner's sole agent and produce the plans, the permit file, the budget and the management of the works. It can also come in after an architect, who keeps the design and the permit application. The file then passes to HMG for construction, and the architect stays involved in the build.
An extension or an extra storey affects the structure of a lived-in house. The firm therefore agrees the sequence of operations with the engineer and the contractors, protects the parts being kept and plans for the periods when the house must stay weathertight. HMG has managed five villas as well as six storey additions to buildings, one of them in timber. You receive a trade-by-trade budget, compared quotes and regular progress updates.
