We offer a wide range of services and solutions. Our scope of work extends from simple timber construction to complex building envelope renovations, which we are happy to offer you as a complete solution. Bosshard Söhne AG strives to use local, regional products in its operations. As an innovative and forward-looking company, we are happy to offer you a complete solution for your construction project.
Wood construction / carpentry
People have been carpentry for thousands of years. We continue this craft with new technologies. Proven craftsmanship, supported by state-of-the-art technology, is essential wherever wood plays a key role.
We manufacture roof trusses and wooden structures of all kinds for you. Our work also includes the construction of shelters/carports, entrance canopies, and balconies. We also have the expertise for agricultural and industrial buildings. We solve both complex and simple roof structures professionally. The various construction tasks are planned and executed down to the last detail with the help of modern CAD systems.
We also clad walls and ceilings with various types of paneling and manufacture straight and spiral staircases in a wide variety of wood types. We also install roof dormers. We are not only active in new construction and renovation, we also carry out repairs.
Roofing
The pitched roof is still the most common roof shape today and offers optimum protection, security, and comfort. Whether tile, fiber cement (Eternit), or sheet metal—with a wide range of variations and materials, we offer the optimal solution tailored to your needs. The installation of roof windows or roof structures in the form of dormers, ox-eye windows, etc. can further enhance a living space or make a roof landscape even more interesting. We plan, coordinate, and build your dream roof. Request our no-obligation consultation.
The following roofing materials and designs are available:
- Clay (plain tiles, interlocking tiles: flat/trough/pan)
- Concrete (plain tiles, interlocking tiles: flat/pan)
- Fiber cement (flat panels, profiled panels)
- Trapezoidal sheet metal (also sandwich panels)
- Wood shingles
- Natural slate
Facades
Facades make houses: this modified proverb applies more to buildings than the one about clothes making people. Whether rear-ventilated and made of wood, clinker, or with thermal insulation, the facade not only determines the appearance, but is also closely related to the entire construction and energy balance of a building.
Wood, metal, glass, plastic, etc.
Wood is not only being used (again) more frequently in construction and as an energy source, but also for facades. The positive properties of this natural material may contribute to this: wood insulates and protects, is ecological and natural, and, last but not least, is very easy to work with. Curtain-type, rear-ventilated facades with battens on the masonry – often filled with thermal insulation – are common, onto which the outer wooden slats, boards, or shingles are attached. The wood can be treated with glaze, varnish, or oil paint. If the client does not want to treat the wood, weather-resistant wood must be used, such as larch. With untreated wood, changes to the surface due to external influences that cannot be predicted with complete accuracy must be expected.

Bosshard windows from EgoKiefer are professionally installed by our team.

We would be happy to advise you on site or in our showroom.
Building envelope renovation
The building envelope has the demanding task of providing the house with the necessary protection against external adversities. In addition, the building envelope is of utmost importance when it comes to the climate inside the house – because it not only prevents the penetration of heat, frost, and moisture, but also ensures adequate ventilation of the interior.
If one or more of these properties are no longer functional, renovation is necessary. Early building envelope renovation can prevent expensive and complicated structural damage. With intelligent and efficient renovation, you can also increase the market value of your property and save energy costs at the same time. We would be happy to advise you on your renovation project. We will be happy to show you what financial incentives you can expect from the federal government and the canton.
Crane work
With our own telescopic off-road crane, we are ideally equipped for all crane operations. Whether as a substitute for a construction crane, as a lifting option in remote locations, as a working platform on facades, or much more. We will check the feasibility of using a crane for you and also carry out the work.
Planning
Our services range from consulting and planning to execution. Do you have an idea for a roof extension/conversion, or would you like to build a carport? Don't hesitate to contact us. We can provide you with expert and competent support from the consultation and planning phase through to execution.
We take care of all the preliminary clarifications for you, obtain permits and submit plans if necessary, and coordinate your construction project with craftsmen of all kinds.
For you as the builder, this means: everything from a single source—under one roof!
Element construction
Wooden houses built using element construction are ecological, individual, flexible, and quick to build. Bosshard Söhne AG can erect a wooden house completely within a few days. This is only possible because the house components are precisely prefabricated in our modern carpentry workshop. We build walls, ceilings, floors, and roofs using CAD-supported planning. Everything fits together perfectly and only needs to be assembled on the construction site. It doesn't always have to be entire houses. We also completely prefabricate individual roof trusses in our workshop. From the visible interior cladding to the tile battens, the finished element is assembled on the construction site. Extensions and superstructures can also be prefabricated using element construction, also known as timber frame construction.
We keep up with the ongoing development of various materials and are always up to date.
Interior finishing
Interior design makes living trendy, cozy, homely, modern, or simply relaxing. Whether it's cladding work for new buildings or redesigns for renovations, Bosshard Söhne AG can provide you with competent and professional advice in all areas.
From the floor to the walls (drywall, of course) to the ceiling with all kinds of different paneling, we can fulfill almost any wish you may have. We would be happy to advise you in our showroom with display items and various samples.
Whether you want to convert your attic, don't have anyone to do the interior work on your new build, just need new ceiling paneling, want to install a partition wall, or have poor acoustics in your living room, these are just a few of the interior design services we offer. With us, you can flexibly realize and plan your interior design wishes; every detailed solution is important to us for the success of the entire project.
Steko timber house system
STEKO is a modular system featuring the latest technology and construction methods that enables sustainable building while meeting the highest standards in terms of stability, durability, comfort, and design freedom. STEKO is a building system that opens up completely new dimensions for builders, planners, and contractors. Never before has it been so easy to build rock-solid, healthy, and ecologically valuable houses.
The Steko timber construction system is based on a few basic elements that can be assembled quickly and easily. The core component is the handy basic module, which weighs approx. 6.5 kg and has a length of 640 mm and a height of 320 or 240 mm. All components are 160 mm wide. In addition to the 4-part module, there are 3-, 2- and 1-part modules.
A threshold is used as the lower end and a tie-in with a height of 8 cm is used as the upper end. The system is completed with the soffit boards. With these few parts, all load-bearing and non-load-bearing interior and exterior walls of a house can be built.
Floors
Wooden grates in various types of wood
Wooden grates are very popular. We manufacture elegant terrace coverings from local wood types such as larch, Douglas fir, oak, robinia, or imported wood types according to your wishes and ideas.
Parquet – a lifetime of living comfort
A wide range of design options thanks to different types of wood (maple, oak, birch, beech, cherry, ash, etc.) and laying patterns (ship deck, English, herringbone, braided pattern, etc.) are guaranteed to meet your personal requirements. The surface can be treated individually with oil or a sealant. Let us advise you. We have many years of experience and are happy to provide information about the different types of wood and their lifespan.
Stairs
Climb up! Nothing could be easier! Stairs of all kinds make this step easy. With our many years of experience, we are happy to help you find the ideal staircase for your home or property. A wooden staircase is not only beautiful to look at, but also easy to maintain and durable.
Straight or winding, we can offer you all possible shapes and types. It doesn't necessarily have to be wood. We are open to a wide variety of materials.
Sawmill
We process local round timber into boards, beams, and slats. We also saw your tree trunks into boards and beams. Most of the wood cut in the sawmill is further processed in the carpentry and joinery workshop. Roof battens and double battens are either resold or installed on roofs by our own roofers. Our horizontal log band saw is specially designed for customer wood. Are you looking for a way to turn the walnut tree in your garden into a dining table? Then our sawmill is the place for you.
Roof maintenance
The roof is one of the most heavily used parts of a building. Since it is not directly visible to the observer, it is often mistakenly neglected in terms of maintenance and care. All materials, including roofing and sealing materials, are subject to a natural aging process. Roof surfaces are particularly exposed to the elements.
Solar
A sustainable future: you too can rely on solar energy.
Dwindling fossil fuel resources and global warming make it clear to us that the future of energy lies in renewable energies. The cleanest and most attractive of these is solar energy, because it can be used decentrally and adapted to specific needs.
With solar systems from Ernst Schweizer AG, we rely on over 25 years of Swiss experience. The product has been continuously developed over this period and adapted to the latest findings. That is why Schweizer solar collectors are now among the top products on the market: durable, mature, highly energy-efficient, and inexpensive. Swiss quality, in other words!
Roof windows / dormers
It doesn't matter whether you want to redesign an existing roof and create living space in the attic. Or whether you, as the builder, have already decided that you want to set up your office in the attic, we plan roof windows and their installation according to your wishes.
Do you want more living space as well as light? Then a dormer window is just the thing. Roof dormers are cozy, convey a sense of quality living, and leave plenty of scope for the individual and creative realization of the most beautiful living ideas. Roof dormers create space, bring light into dark living areas, and turn your roof into your own personal viewing platform.
