Benchmark Planung

With just a few efficient measures, Benchmark Planung M. Zanetti can upgrade your aging property, making it sustainable and adding value for you and future generations.

Vision

I maintain that high-quality buildings should be preserved. My aim is to enhance the fabric of the building with just a few marked, but effective architectural implementations. I strive to offer my customers tailor-made solutions that will add value for both current and future owners. As my customer, your needs and wishes are paramount during the entire planning process.

In general, the quality of buildings in Switzerland is above average. The attitude here was (and still is) to build to last forever, or at least for the next 100 years. Having said that, an existing building fabric needs to be regularly upgraded to bring it into line with today’s standards. Doing this means that regional green spaces needn’t be sacrificed for building land.

My focus is on transforming existing homes using bespoken, well-thought-out architectural measures and environmentally conscious building practices to create spaces that enable people to live a happy and creative existence.

Sustainability

Throughout the building process, it is important to keep the ecological footprint as small as possible. To ensure this, wherever possible I use renewables, energy generated from unlimited natural resources. The choice of building materials is also important to me. By using local products and craftsmen, transport routes and the consequent CO₂emissions are kept to a minimum, while the local economy is simultaneously supported.

Offer

My core competence lies in the design and planning of your project, whether it’s a conversion, renovation work, building an extension or upgrading your building envelope, i.e. the outer shell of the building. The emphasis lies in revamping the building with the aim, not only to reduce the CO2 emissions, but to bring them as close to zero as possible.

Renovation pertaining to thermal heat loss

Renovations pertaining to thermal heat loss deal with the building envelope. Here, the aim is to reduce heat loss through the roof, walls or floor of a building by implementing appropriate measures. I will gladly show you how undertaking coordinated measures would mean that your property consumes less energy for heating and hot water.

Optimising unused spaces

Conversions and refurbishment measures are not always about reducing thermal heat loss. Developing unused spaces can increase the value (or the monetary return) of a property. Good planning can convert your unused spaces into a yield.

Ausnützung Optimierung

Similarly to the optimisation of unused space, the utilisation of unused land is crucially important. Swiss law lays down parameters for the relationship between plot size and the size of a building. In many instances, buildings are not constructed to correspond to the legally permitted floor area of their plots. I can show you how to utilise unused land space and at the same time maximise the value of your property.

About

Driven by curiosity and creativity, I always strive to achieve the optimal result for any given situation. For each client, I take the time to do an in-depth study of the project at hand, in order to come up with the most sustainable and innovative solution.

In working with others, I value open and clear communication. Teamwork between all participants during the planning and construction process is essential for me. Honest and constructive collaboration leads to a successful exchange of knowledge, experience, ideas and fresh insights, which is enriching for all those involved.
