The median building volume is 984 m3, which serves as a key reference for determining the scale of necessary heating or insulation improvements. Please note that this figure represents only a small portion of the 1618 houses recorded, as most use different standards.

Planning in condominiums
In condominiums, renovating a stairwell is a collective decision. Such works must be voted on during a general meeting of co-owners. It is essential to present a clear project, including quotes and material choices.
Funding is generally drawn from the renovation fund established by the co-owners. Proper preparation helps avoid administrative hurdles and ensures that the work meets the expectations of all residents while preserving the long-term value of the property.
Complying with fire safety standards
Fire safety is paramount when renovating a stairwell.
It is imperative to account for relevant requirements during the study phase, particularly regarding replacing apartment doors with fire-resistant models if necessary, and installing regulatory emergency lighting.
These measures ensure occupant protection and compliance with current standards. Working with specialists from the start of the project helps validate the technical solutions best suited to your building's layout in Burgdorf.
Work organization and phasing
Renovating a stairwell in an occupied building can be complex. An effective solution is to opt for phasing floor by floor. This method keeps apartment access open and limits disturbances for residents throughout the project.
By coordinating work stages between different trades, you optimize the project duration. It is advisable to communicate the schedule clearly to occupants to ensure smooth progress and guarantee professional execution within the set timeframe.
