Site and zoning analysis

Clarity instead of risk

Without a thorough site and zoning analysis, you risk making costly mistakes. Secure support for your site and zoning analysis now, so you know exactly what's truly possible on the land and whether buying or selling it is worthwhile.

Expert at your side

I will review building regulations, floor area ratio, building volume ratio, boundary setbacks and the effective buildability of the property for you – clearly, independently and within a few days.

Floor plan being reviewed as part of an independent second opinion

When do you need a site and zoning analysis?

  • before you buy a property

  • if you don't want to properly assess an advertisement

  • if you need to understand planning and building law

  • when the floor area ratio (Ausnützungsziffer) is unclear

  • if you want to know if your budget matches the property

  • if you want to avoid expensive mistakes

The sooner you have clarity, the better you will negotiate and the more confidently decisions will be made.

Would you like to have a property inspected?

Get an independent site and zoning analysis now and avoid costly mistakes before the purchase contract is signed.

Why a site and zoning analysis is crucial.

A professional site and zoning analysis reveals:

  • how high the floor area ratio (Ausnützungsziffer) will realistically be

  • how the building volume ratio (Baumassenziffer) works

  • What boundary setbacks apply?

  • whether the property is suitable for your project

  • whether the price is appropriate in relation to the potential living space

  • whether risks such as easements, building lines or special regulations exist

In short: It protects you from buying a property that doesn't suit your plans.

What you get from raumwert plus

Klare Machbarkeit statt Fachjargon

I review every relevant planning and building law requirement:
zoning ordinance (Zonenordnung), cantonal and municipal building regulations, floor area ratio calculation (Ausnützungsziffer), building volume ratio (Baumassenziffer), boundary setbacks, buildability, special design plans (Gestaltungsplan) and easements.
You get a clear answer: what is feasible and what is not.

Floor area ratio and building volume ratio explained and calculated in an easy-to-understand way

Viele Bauherren kennen den Begriff, aber nicht die Bedeutung.
Ich zeige anhand der relevanten Kennzahlen, wie viel Fläche realistisch gebaut werden darf.
Sie erfahren auch, ob es Besonderheiten gibt, etwa Ausnützungsziffer, Baumassenziffer, Spezialvorschriften oder Reduktionen.

Damit Sie das Potenzial und Risiko des Grundstücks verstehen.

Economic assessment: Is the purchase really worthwhile?

Die Frage ist nie: „Wie teuer ist das Land?“.  Die Frage ist: „Wie viel darf ich darauf bauen?“
Ich bewerte das Grundstück nach wirtschaftlichen Kriterien und zeige, ob der Preis gerechtfertigt ist.

Identify risks early

Typische Stolpersteine beim Grundstückkauf:

  • falsche Annahmen zur Bebaubarkeit

  • zu optimistische Ausnützungsziffer

  • unerkannte Dienstbarkeiten

  • Waldabstände oder Baulinien

  • fehlende Erschliessung

Ich mache sichtbar, was andere übersehen.

Independent, experienced, architecturally sound

As an architect SIA, I think beyond mere numbers:
I assess usable floor space, volume, construction costs, and concept quality, as well as any subsequent design.
This makes the analysis more precise and reliable.

Here's what our customers say

The following feedback demonstrates how collaboration leads to sustainable project success. Read more Google reviews of raumwert plus GmbH.

Simon Käslin has supported me on several construction projects. He always does so with great professional expertise and an open, approachable manner.

Man in a business suit

Lorenz L., Zurich

The collaboration with raumwert+ was a complete success. [...] Thanks to their optimisations, we were able to gain more usable space, reduce construction costs, and increase quality – all without compromising the concept. A definite recommendation for anyone who wants to realise the full potential of their project.

Man in a business suit

Mark S., Thurgau

Simon reviewed the project for accuracy, clearly explained the key points, and drafted an objection. The construction plans were subsequently revised and adjusted. His assessment was thorough, clear, and very helpful. Highly recommended if you are looking for an independent and expert second opinion.

Smiling portrait

Balz K., St. Gallen

We first used raumwert plus's free basic screening to have our project reviewed from a fresh perspective. Even then, Simon clearly showed us where there was still untapped potential: especially in space utilization and construction costs. After that, the 360° project optimization went into much greater detail with tangible results: more usable space, smarter structures, and reduced costs. [...] For us , a clear win, both in terms of content and finances.
