Progress at Gewerbestrasse 15 in Thun – January 2026
Work is progressing at full speed on our property at Gewerbestrasse 15 in Thun. The renovation is advancing according to schedule, and significant progress is clearly visible on site. Below, we provide you with a detailed overview of the current works and the upcoming milestones.
Timber Construction: The New Spatial Structure Takes Shape
A key focus at present is the timber construction. The timber contractor has begun implementing the space-defining wooden structures. These form the foundation for the future layout and are already shaping the dimensions and proportions of the new spaces.
The timber elements serve several crucial functions:
They define the future room structure.
They contribute to the structural stability of the building.
They support a sustainable and resource-efficient construction method.
Through the targeted use of wood as a building material, the project is achieving not only a modern and warm architectural expression, but also an efficient construction with long-term added value. Timber construction is therefore a central component of the new building structure and a visible sign of progress on site.
Structural Measures: Safety and Future Viability
In parallel with the timber works, comprehensive structural measures have been implemented. The aim of these works is to strengthen the existing building fabric in a targeted manner and optimally adapt it to future usage requirements.
Additional load-bearing elements and structural reinforcements ensure that all loads can be reliably absorbed. These measures guarantee:
long-term stability
maximum safety
optimal conditions for flexible commercial use
Particularly in existing properties, careful structural adaptation is a decisive step in aligning modern requirements with the existing building substance.
MEP Installations: The Technical Backbone of the Building
Significant progress is also being made in building services engineering. The MEP installations (mechanical, electrical, plumbing – including heating, ventilation, air conditioning and sanitary systems) are being continuously installed and coordinated.
These systems form the technical backbone of the building and are essential for:
a comfortable and healthy indoor climate
energy-efficient operation
smooth day-to-day operations within the future commercial spaces
Early and precise integration of building services ensures that functionality, sustainability, and cost-efficiency are optimally aligned.
Moving Forward Together Towards a Future-Ready Building
Each of these steps, from timber construction and structural reinforcements to building services installation, represents an important milestone on the journey from construction site to a modern, functional, and sustainable commercial property.
We are pleased with the continuous progress and will keep you informed about further developments in the months ahead.
