Our values
Halter's corporate culture, formed as it is by values such as entrepreneurship, innovation and sustainability, provides the foundation for an organization that is agile and highly effective. People before structures: our employees represent Halter to the outside world independently of the corporate structure and are thus able to act in the best interests of both client and project at all times.
Entrepreneurial
An entrepreneurial spirit, leadership and partnership lie at the heart of our customer relationships. Our competence and conscientiousness are reflected in the success of our clients, principals and partners Cultivation of an entrepreneurial mindset and promotion of it in our business environment is our top priority.
Innovative
Innovation leads to a higher quality of life and better use of the built environment, as well as productivity increases. This requires collaboration both internally and externally, broad-based expertise throughout the entire life cycle of a property, and an open and inquisitive corporate culture that form the basis for consistent and continuous improvement of our products and processes.
Sustainable
We fully embrace the notion of sustainability and seek to find long-term solutions. To that end, we follow a circular-economy model and aim for sustainability in a transparent way. We back sensible architecture and well-planned urban development, achieve long-term profitability for investors and make the most of (digital) technology to deliver energy-efficient and environmentally friendly solutions.
A Halter Group company
Established in 1918 in Altstetten (ZH), the construction company Halter laid the foundations for what has grown into today’s Halter Group. The Halter Group sees itself as an ecosystem of independent companies offering different construction and real estate services across all phases of the property life cycle. This with the shared vision of achieving the sustainability goal of net zero for all projects by establishing a circular economy.
We are convinced that the construction and real estate industry’s journey towards a circular economy can only be completed successfully with integrated, efficient value creation processes, collaborative models for planning, execution and operation, the use of adequate circular building systems and consistent information management.
These companies all complement each other, yet they operate independently and pursue a clear, top-quality approach in the interest of their clients. Thus, we not only create the necessary conditions for an integrated, functioning circular economy but also for genuine innovation in the market. Halter Group comprises today ten companies, two of which are majority-owned.
