A small firm, on purpose.
Nine people, five trades, one region, one industry. Everything about TSPM is deliberately narrow — because the service we sell is knowing your building, and knowledge does not scale the way slide decks claim.
Peter Machac — founder & managing director · SiBe Brandschutz VKF. Fifteen years of hotel technical responsibility before there was a TSPM. Still does every survey personally.
Electricians (EFZ) — installations, detection, emergency lighting, the panels.
Building-systems technician — heating, ventilation, heat pumps, and the art of reading a plant room like a patient file.
Carpenter (EFZ) and painter — the reason cosmetic defects get fixed the same week they're logged.
Multi-skilled technicians on the visit rounds and the on-call rota, plus one apprentice.
Knows where everyone is. Always.
Eastern Switzerland, honestly.
Beyond these, by agreement — not by pretending. If your house is in Geneva, we will say so on the phone and save you a meeting. Betriebshaftpflicht CHF 10 million. Founded 2019, Winterthur.
Fourteen properties. Zero logos.
Our clients trust us with their buildings, their inspection files, and occasionally their 03:00 phone calls. You will not find their names here — a technical partner who advertises with your name has confused whose reputation is the product. References in person, from the owners, over coffee. It is a better format anyway: they can tell you what went wrong, and what happened next.
Since 1916
Josef Vaclav Machac was a journeyman saddler travelling from Bohemia to Saxony when, in 1916, he founded a family business in Cainsdorf bei Zwickau. The general store became a workshop, the workshop a fleet, the fleet a removals company trading under the words «Der sorgfältige Umzug» — the careful move. It lasted 103 years, through every decade Germany could throw at it.
Three generations later, Peter Machac learned the trade in that firm, trained in building technology, and spent fifteen years running the technical side of Swiss hotels. In 2019 he founded TSPM in Winterthur — the fourth iteration of a family that has been careful with other people's property for 108 years.
Careful is not a slogan we chose. It is the one we inherited, in lorry paint.
