We pay decent wages, we expect great quality... The energy saving regulations are very strict. Actualy all regulations are strict and well enforced. You're in trouble when trying to cut corners in Switzerland.
I can’t get over how clean this job site is.
I would argue the Swiss obsession with superior design and quality is a function of culture and education. It carries over to everything they build, and that is something that a government can’t regulate into existence.
This may be interesting: AC is actually not allowed in residential buildings in Switzerland which has a huge impact on overall power consumption by the country. Instead every new building is constructed in a way to preserve the inside temperature and everyone learns from an early age to vent their home in Summer during the early morning hours and then keep all windows closed throughout the day. In office buildings, this is not practical (for different reasons) and so ACs are allowed there.
this is the absolute cleanest construction site I have ever seen. Most projects I have seen at this stage in the US look like an absolute warzone by comparison.
Take your best guy on the crew here in the us, these guys whole crew is full of those guys. Also let's not forget this quality is a direct result of inspiring leadership. Fantastic workmanship displayed here, thanks.
I was fortunate to be taught early on to keep the site clean and organized. Makes for a much more safe, efficient, and pleasant work environment.
… respects to you for taking on something as pitting your trade practices with that of another society, because it is very difficult to acknowledge ones weaknesses. It is very informative while educating. One is ignorant when one is not aware of what else it is done, but stupid when fail to find out how others do it. Very good service sharing what you find.
Swiss here, I live in a House that was built in 1759.
When I visited Switzerland, you could really feel the quality with which the Swiss do their work. Everything just seemed to "fit" better. I don't know how else to describe it.

Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Belgium, perhaps others…..clean, even vacuum the streets on a regular basis. It’s admirable. The building standard is made to last for generations.
I’d say the Swiss take their staging pretty seriously too. A lot of respect for the person outside, laying tape down, goes a long way towards the quality of the finished project.
real journeymen keep sites clean. period
This tour makes me realize we just need to send some mid-experience crews to go get trained over there.. and then bring the learning back.

This just oozes quality, wow
The cool feature all the air vents have is a heatexchanger, exchaust air is prewarming fresh air, the swiss energy conserving standart is pretty high, lots of zero energy houses these days too ...
It's very interesting seeing how construction is done in different parts of the world
Some new constructions have well soundproofed floors, others not. You can hear people walking above you during a public viewing even in some new builds.
