Audit New construction project for the embassy in Beijing - Federal Department of Foreign Affairs, Federal Office for Buildings and Logistics

Audit number: 22223

The new construction project for the embassy in Beijing aims to replace the existing buildings dating from the 1970s, due to obsolete technical installations, the need for more workspaces and the need to comply with seismic standards. In 2016, the Federal Department of Foreign Affairs (FDFA) commissioned the Federal Office for Buildings and Logistics (FOBL) to undertake the project, which is currently awaiting authorisation from the Chinese authorities. Pending their response, the FDFA and the FOBL have decided to suspend the planning of the project and to wait before presenting the project and the request for credit to Parliament. The latest cost estimate stands at around CHF 48 million.
