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.

Planning and budget for your kitchen
Rigorous planning is the pillar of a successful renovation. Measure the base-cabinet run along the walls: it drives the price more than the total floor area.
Establishing a realistic budget requires considering not only the materials but also the installation and potential technical surprises. Before starting, we recommend using the free RenoIndex estimator to obtain a price range suitable for your project in Au.
This will allow you to better structure your investments and avoid budget overruns during the work.
Optimizing technical costs
The cost of plumbing and electrical work can climb quickly. To limit these expenses, keeping the sink and water connections in place avoids costly plumbing work.
Also, consider optimizing the existing electrical network if your new kitchen uses high-consumption appliances. By keeping these elements fixed, you allocate more financial resources to the quality of finishes, countertops, or appliances.
Do not forget to consult RenoIndex to refine your cost estimates based on these strategic layout decisions.
Regulations and condominium rules
Some structural changes, such as moving a partition, may require formal authorization. Also, ensure you comply with current safety standards in the canton of St. Gallen, particularly regarding ventilation and electrical connections.
Administrative preparation beforehand ensures peace of mind throughout your renovation work.
Increasing your property value
A modern kitchen is a major asset when selling or renting a property. In Au, the real estate market particularly values functional layouts and energy-efficient appliances.
Investing in durable materials and a timeless design allows you to quickly recoup your renovation costs. To estimate potential added value and adjust your investment, use the free RenoIndex calculator.
Obtaining a clear estimate will help you prioritize aesthetic choices while remaining within price ranges consistent with the Swiss market.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a permit to renovate my kitchen?
It depends on the scope of work. For simple aesthetic changes, no permit is required. However, if you modify structural elements, ventilation ducts, or common areas, approval from the condominium board is essential.

Use the free RenoIndex calculator to obtain a precise price range for your project in Au. It takes into account the specificities of the Swiss market to give you a realistic estimate before contacting contractors.
Is it possible to reduce plumbing costs?
Yes, absolutely. By keeping the location of the sink, dishwasher, and existing water connections, you avoid complex and costly plumbing work. This strategy is one of the most effective ways to reduce the total budget.
What steps should I take in a condominium?
Before ordering, check the condominium bylaws and inform the administration. Ensure that the work does not harm the structure or common facilities, and obtain formal agreement from the other co-owners for your modifications.
