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.

Importance of surface preparation
The success of a painting project in Au depends primarily on the invisible work. Surface preparation, including filling cracks and careful sanding, often accounts for half of the actual working time.
A clean and perfectly smooth surface guarantees optimal paint adhesion. Do not neglect this phase, as it determines the final appearance of your walls.
Poorly prepared surfaces will highlight imperfections after drying, making your investment less aesthetic and durable over the long term.
Precautions for older buildings
If you live in an older building in Au (SG), extra vigilance is required. Older paint layers may contain traces of lead, a material that is now banned but was common in the past.
Before starting any sanding that could release harmful dust, have a professional analysis performed by a specialist. This step is crucial for the health of the occupants and the smooth progress of the site.
If toxic substances are present, specific protective measures must be applied by trained professionals to ensure the remediation of your rooms.
Optimizing site costs
To control your budget during painting work, an effective strategy is to group your interventions. Painting ceilings and walls in a single stage significantly reduces protection and set-up costs.
The time spent protecting floors and furniture with tarps is thus optimized. By coordinating your work, you avoid unnecessary return visits and save on labor costs.
Use our RenoIndex estimator to visualize how these strategic choices influence the final price of your interior renovation work.
Legal and environmental framework
In Switzerland, the renovation sector is governed by strict rules regarding the management of construction waste.
Although no specific municipal rules apply in Au for interior painting, homeowners must comply with cantonal guidelines on the disposal of solvents and paint residues.
These products are considered hazardous waste and must never be disposed of in household trash or drains. Ensure you take leftovers to approved sorting centers. By choosing eco-friendly and labeled paints, you also improve the indoor air quality of your home.
