Renovations, heritage and volumes

For your renovation projects in Au, data from the federal building register indicates that at least 9 buildings are subject to heritage protection, requiring early coordination with the municipality to secure necessary permits. Please note that data coverage is partial for certain indicators: information regarding the year of renovation and building volume according to the SIA 416 standard is not available in the current records. We advise you to verify these technical specifications directly with local authorities before proceeding with modernization plans or insulation upgrades to ensure your project aligns with municipal requirements and building standards.
