How our structural engineers tackled complex site constraints, wind/seismic forces, and strict deadlines.
Demanding SIA Swiss building regulations (SIA 260/263), strict acoustic decoupling standards (SIA 181), and Minergie-P thermal performance on a sloping Alpine terrain.
Engineered load-bearing prefabricated LGS wall cassettes with integrated acoustic dampening pads and dry composite floor systems with zero thermal bridges.
Detailed static modeling, load dissipation paths, and statutory regulatory validation.
Constructed on a sloping Alpine terrain in Zurich, this 1,450 m² 4-storey sustainable residential building was engineered to meet the stringent Swiss Minergie-P passive energy standard and SIA 181 acoustic decoupling regulations. Our structural engineers developed a high-density S350GD+Z275 light gauge steel cassette superstructure with acoustic floor dampers achieving 62 dB airborne noise reduction and complete thermal envelope continuity with U-values of 0.11 W/m²K.
Verified structural calculations matching national building regulations and Eurocode annexes.
General rules and steel construction calculations verified per Swiss SIA standards.
Strict residential party floor and wall acoustic decoupling achieving 62 dB sound reduction.
Blower-door airtightness (n50 < 0.60 h⁻¹) and zero thermal bridging.
REI 60 to REI 90 certified load-bearing multi-family fire safety classifications.
Seamless workflow from 3D parametric Tekla BIM to automated CNC pre-fabrication and job-site erection.
Parametric model certified to Swiss SIA standards and local Canton building permits.
Factory assembling wall and floor cassettes with pre-fitted acoustic decoupling isolators.
Containerized delivery coordinated directly to Zurich job-site via Swiss logistics hubs.
Crane drop-in of prefabricated cassettes completed 40% faster than traditional concrete.
Comprehensive breakdown of delivered steel superstructure components, secondary framing, envelope, and dossier.
Swiss building regulations leave zero room for error. SerBuild's steel cassettes achieved Minergie-P and SIA 181 acoustic certification effortlessly, finishing 40% faster than concrete.
