Building on a slope requires more than just powerful machinery!

Our team is currently tackling an extremely challenging hillside site as part of the construction of three single-family homes in Ferden.

With a wealth of experience and precision, we ensure a safe and efficient workflow. The narrow access road and limited space are pushing the crew to their limits. We’re cleverly storing the approximately 2,000 cubic meters of excavated material while simultaneously stabilizing 1,200 square meters of slope. The extremely high ceiling formwork also requires precise planning.

The structural work is in full swing, and the project is taking shape more and more every day. Such challenging conditions are absolutely no obstacle for us. They’re the perfect opportunity to demonstrate our Valais expertise and team spirit.

What do you consider the biggest challenge on this construction site? Limited space, steep slopes, or logistics?
