Bernasconi e Forrer ingegneria e misurazioni SA

Bernasconi e Forrer ingegneria e misurazioni SA is a company founded in 2014 from the merger of the engineering firms Maderni Capezzoli Forrer Sagl (founded in 1921) and Gisi e Bernasconi SA (founded in 1971). In 2019, we also integrated the surveying division of the Antonio Bottani engineering firm. Our activities in the canton in the fields of surveying, land registry, and rural engineering can therefore boast several decades of experience!
 
The current co-owners are Cristiano Bernasconi, Antonio Bottani, and Fabio Forrer, all of whom are engineers who graduated from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich and are surveyors registered in the federal register of surveyors.
 
Today, the office employs around thirty people. They are specialized and experienced professionals who work with modern surveying and land data processing systems. Over many years of activity, the company has earned the trust of public bodies, cantonal offices, municipalities, consortia, construction companies, engineering firms, architectural firms, and private clients who appreciate our expertise, the quality of our work, and our speed in completing the tasks entrusted to us.
 
The firm recognizes the importance of good training and has therefore always been committed to training apprentices in the field of geomatics (in particular official surveying and technical surveying).
