🇨🇭 Massivbau (concrete/masonry)

Swiss House Bill of Quantities Generator (eBKP-H)

A real, elemental-cost-plan quantity takeoff — not a CHF-per-cubic-metre ballpark.

A Swiss Baukostenrechner gives you a fast CHF total, usually priced per cubic metre of Gebäudevolumen the way the Swiss Property Owners' Association itself recommends. That's a real, useful first number, and this tool doesn't try to replace it. What it adds is the real elemental breakdown behind that number.

This generator's Swiss quantities are structured around eBKP-H (SN 506 511) — the same elemental cost-plan letters (B through G, I) architects, engineers and CRB's own cost data use, not a generic Western trade list translated into German. An Untergeschoss is modeled as an always-included level, matching real Swiss practice, rather than gated behind a US-style optional-foundation choice, and a Schutzraum (or its Ersatzabgabe replacement levy) is included as a real, canton-dependent line rather than left out entirely.

You price every line yourself in CHF — this tool works in square metres, not SIA 416's Gebäudevolumen (cubic-metre) convention Swiss cost data is usually quoted against, and we're not inventing an unofficial conversion rule to paper over that gap. What you do get is a real eBKP-H-structured takeoff with Planungskosten (architect, engineer and Bauleitung fees, defaulted to the sheet-cited 12-18% range) built in as its own real, adjustable line.

  • Wärmepumpe, kontrollierte Wohnungslüftung (heat pump + controlled ventilation)
  • Fassade, Aussenwärmedämmung, Fenster, Sonnenschutz (facade, insulation, windows, sun shading)
  • Bedachung (roof covering) and Dachrinnen (gutters)
  • Innenwände, Bodenbeläge, Küche, Bad/WC (interior fit-out)
  • Schutzraum (civil-defence shelter) or Ersatzabgabe levy

Switzerland Bill of Quantities — Frequently Asked Questions

Does this generator include a basement, or is it optional like in the US?
It's included by default — Untergeschoss is real, near-universal Swiss practice, modeled as an always-included level rather than a US/Canadian-style optional foundation choice.
Does this tool know my canton's specific building rules?
No — Switzerland's 26 cantons each run their own building act and municipal zoning on top, and a full canton-by-canton database is real, planned follow-up work. Canton-dependent items like the Schutzraum shelter are flagged as such so you can confirm against your own canton.
Why doesn't this generator price per cubic metre (SIA 416 Gebäudevolumen) like most Swiss calculators?
Because this tool's geometry is square-metre based, and inventing an unofficial GV conversion would mean guessing at a formula SIA 416 doesn't actually define that way — so we disclose the gap instead of faking a number.
What does Planungskosten cover in this generator's Swiss estimate?
Real architect, engineer and Bauleitung (site supervision) fees, defaulted to 15% — the midpoint of the sheet's own cited 12-18% range — and fully adjustable to your own quote.
