Renovations, heritage and volumes

For your renovation plans in Davos, the federal building register provides key figures to consider. The median building volume is 937 m3 based on the SIA 416 standard, which is vital for scaling insulation and heating upgrades effectively. Please note that data coverage is partial, as this volume is only measured for 25 out of 1160 identified houses. Information regarding the year of renovation and heritage protection status is not available or applicable in the current official records. We recommend consulting directly with your local municipal office to confirm these details before starting any renovation projects.

The importance of surface preparation

The success of an interior painting project depends primarily on preparation. Filling cracks, treating imperfections, and meticulous sanding often account for half of the total working time.

A poorly prepared wall reveals defects under the new coat of paint, which harms the final appearance. Take the time to clean the surfaces to ensure optimal adhesion.

Good preparation avoids costly touch-ups and ensures that the paint will age harmoniously over the years, thus protecting your investment in your Davos residence.

Precautions for older buildings

Davos has a varied architectural heritage, including many old buildings. If you are working on this type of structure, be particularly vigilant regarding existing wall coverings.

In buildings constructed decades ago, old paint may sometimes contain lead, a material that is now prohibited but was common in the past. Before starting any sanding or stripping, it is strongly recommended to have these layers analyzed by a professional.

This precaution is essential to protect your health and that of your loved ones. Once the diagnosis is established, you can proceed with your renovation work safely.

Optimizing project costs

To optimize your renovation budget, it is wise to plan your work globally rather than in small, isolated projects. Painting ceilings and walls simultaneously allows for significant savings on furniture protection and equipment set-up costs.

When the protective gear is in place, the professional can work without interruption. By grouping your interventions, you reduce the labor time needed for preparations, which lowers the overall bill.

Do not hesitate to check the RenoIndex simulator to compare prices and get a clear view of the expenses to anticipate.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get a quote for my painting work?

First, use the RenoIndex simulator to get a price range estimate. Then, contact local craftsmen, specifying the surface area and the condition of the walls, to receive personalized quotes tailored to your specific project.

What factors influence the price per square meter?

The price mainly depends on the quality of the paint, the complexity of surface preparation (filling, sanding), ceiling height, and the necessity to protect furniture or delicate floors.

Do I need a permit for interior painting?

Generally speaking, standard interior painting work does not require any administrative authorization in the canton of Grisons. However, it is advisable to check the regulations of your co-ownership if you live in a condominium.

How long does it take to paint a standard room?

The duration depends heavily on preparation. If the walls are in good condition, allow about two to three days for a room, including protection, drying time between coats, and final cleaning.
