Renovations, heritage and volumes

For homeowners in Aadorf, official building registry data offers vital insights for planning your renovation. Since information regarding renovation years and heritage protection is only partially covered, we recommend consulting the municipal authorities early in your project. For the 1605 houses registered, the median building volume is 1268 m3 according to the SIA 416 standard, though this figure relies on 3 recorded measurements. Understanding these metrics is essential for scaling your heating and insulation upgrades effectively. Utilize these building-specific figures to prepare accurately for the regulatory and technical requirements of your upcoming renovation work.

Organization in condominiums

As a condominium owner, stairwell renovation is a collective decision. According to standard practices, these works must be approved at the owners' assembly. Financing is often covered by the renovation fund, a reserve built up over the years.

Ensure you involve your administrator early to prepare quotes and present the project to other co-owners. Clear communication regarding the building's valuation goals makes it easier to obtain the necessary approval to start the work promptly and efficiently.

Fire safety and standards

Safety is paramount during a stairwell renovation. From the study phase, it is essential to plan for fire protection requirements, particularly regarding fire-resistant doors and emergency lighting.

Although specific rules depend on the building type, these elements must comply with current standards. Working with professionals familiar with projects in the Canton of Thurgau is an advantage to ensure legislative compliance.

Proper initial planning avoids additional costs associated with late design modifications.

Phasing of the works

To minimize disruption in an occupied building, phasing floor by floor is an efficient solution. This method allows continued access to apartments while renovation progresses.

Discuss this schedule with your contractors to coordinate painting, cleaning, and electrical work without blocking circulation for longer than necessary.

Strict organization not only ensures resident comfort during construction but also optimizes labor efficiency. Use the RenoIndex simulator to forecast your costs based on the different stages planned for your renovation.
