s+p Schmid Partner AG

Founded in 1934 as the grandfather's office, the company is characterized by quality and sustainability. Because of its history, it stands for industrial and commercial buildings and the renovation of old buildings. For the sake of the future,
s+p sees itself in the dense construction of apartment buildings and energy-efficient renovations.

With various takeovers, s+p has continued to expand and develop. Today, under the leadership of Britta Schmid, a team of architects, construction managers, draughtsmen and apprentices work on numerous projects in the Schaffhausen and Stein am Rhein area and beyond the borders of the Kanton.

Anchored in Schaffhausen

The location on the Rhine made Schaffhausen a predestined location for industry early on. The construction of the Moser Dam in 1866 further boosted this development. More and more companies settled in the Munot town. At that time and in the years that followed, the flourishing industry needed appropriate buildings, which also benefited the construction industry. Ernst Schmid is one of the architects who construct numerous impressive buildings for large industrial companies in Schaffhausen. Various buildings that the Schmid family's father and son later designed still serve their purpose today and are now part of the cityscape.

Over three generations

In 1934, Ernst Schmid, grandfather of the current company owner, founded the architectural firm Schmid Architekten SIA. After his retirement, his son, Peter Ernst Schmid, took over the reins. As an alternative to the general contractors and  together with five other architectural firms, Peter Ernst Schmid founded Planag in 1973. In 1995, he bought it together with his employee Hans Bossi. When Bossi went into business for himself four years later, ownership was transferred to P.E. Schmid.

In 1999, the new company name s+p Schmid Partner AG appears in the commercial register. Nine years later, Britta Schmid follows in the footsteps of Peter Ernst Schmid and leads the company as Dipl. Bauing. ETH SIA MBA and two years later as the sole owner of the architectural firm in the third generation.

The Stein am Rhein location is strengthened with the acquisition of the assets of Turi Weiss GmbH (2011), including all archive documents, office inventory and external staff, and BA4 Architektur GmbH (2015).
