    Walo brings flooring to suissetec grischun

    The Dietiker construction company Walo Bertschinger is installing a new floor covering on the construction site of suissetec grischun, the Graubünden trade association, in Chur. According to a Walo message on Facebook, a workshop for apprentices in the heating and plumbing trades is being built there.

    According to this information, 450 square metres of FAMA hardwood flooring will be installed. Walo’s hardwood flooring is characterised by outstanding properties, from thermal insulation and sweat resistance to high mechanical resistance and easy maintenance.

    The flooring is perfect for workshops, production areas, warehouses, laboratories and technical rooms. With purely natural raw materials and no plastic content or artificial colour pigments, the FAMA hardwood flooring is not only ecological, but also extremely practical, according to the Walo press release. The floor covering in the training workshop is warm to the feet, environmentally friendly and non-slip.

    The suissetec grischun website states that suissetec is the leading contractors’ and industry association for the plumbing, building envelope, sanitary, heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration sectors. Under its umbrella, it brings together contractors, planning companies, manufacturers and suppliers. One of the main tasks of suissetec grischun is to protect the interests of its members at regional level, for example by commenting on consultations or in direct contact with those responsible. According to the self-description, suissetec grischun also takes on important issues in apprentice training and operates a training centre for prospective professionals in the building technology sector in Chur.

  • Debrunner Koenig takes over Müller Wüst

    Debrunner Koenig takes over Müller Wüst

    Debrunner Koenig AG, based in St.Gallen, has taken over Müller Wüst AG, based in Aarau. With this acquisition, the wholesale company intends to expand its range of prefabrication for sanitary services and digital, model-based work, according to a media release.

    Müller Wüst has developed into a specialist in the prefabrication of sanitary services. The company works with its own method, the so-called MW method, for model-based building services installations for plumbing, heating, cooling, sprinklers, gases and ventilation.

    With the help of Building Information Modelling (BIM), it makes it possible to order, manufacture and install building services from a digital 3D fabrication model. This eliminates the need for paper plans on the construction site.

    This efficient way of working is now also benefiting Debrunner Koenig’s customers. Müller Wüst has once again found an ideal partner for successful growth in the Debrunner Koenig Group, the media release continues.

    “The two companies quickly realised that they could optimally combine their own strengths and thus create additional added value for customers.” Nothing was disclosed about the cost of the takeover.

  • Building technology planner S2B starts in Baden in January

    Building technology planner S2B starts in Baden in January

    From the beginning of the year, the company for building planning from heating and ventilation to plumbing and electronics, S2B Plan AG , will start advising customers. This means that the city of Baden will be the first planning company to combine all building technology trades under one roof, according to the start-up's media release. This is a novelty for the city. Because so far there has been no planning office in Baden for the full range of building technology. This niche is now being filled. For building projects, S2B Plan AG draws up all plans for heating, ventilation, plumbing and electronics from a single source. An analysis of the building technology is also offered for existing buildings.

    The company was only founded on December 1st by the Baden residents Christoph Barth, Daniel Burger and Thomas Schmutz. According to the announcement, the planned start in September had to be postponed. The corona pandemic thwarted the bill. Because suddenly the economic and social situation changed. Nothing has changed in the founding project, it says there.

    The team will now be available for customer advice from January. With the move into the offices at Badstrasse 34 in Baden on December 1st, the S2B Plan AG website and the entry on LinkedIn were activated.
