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.

Management in condominiums (PPE)
In the context of a condominium (PPE), a stairwell renovation is a collective decision. Such work must be approved during a general assembly of co-owners before any start.
Funding is generally handled through the renovation fund accumulated over the years by regular calls for capital. It is important to present the project clearly during the assembly to gain the support of other owners.
Careful preparation with clear quotes will greatly facilitate the decision-making process and ensure an equitable distribution of costs among the different units according to their respective co-ownership shares.
Safety and fire regulations
This includes the fire resistance of apartment entrance doors, the installation of functional emergency lighting, and the choice of flame-retardant materials for wall coverings or floors.
Compliance with these standards is not only a legal obligation but also a guarantee of safety for all residents.
Consult a specialist to check the current compliance of your installations, as requirements may evolve and require specific interventions on existing structural elements.
Organization and phasing of works
Carrying out work in a common circulation area can be complex for residents. To keep the building occupied and accessible throughout the site, phasing floor by floor is a highly effective solution.
This method allows work to progress without completely blocking access to the apartments. It is essential to inform residents precisely about the work schedule and temporarily inaccessible areas.
Fluid communication with the contractors and rigorous management of noise or dust help limit daily inconveniences during this important phase of enhancing your real estate assets in Davos.
Budget planning
Successful renovation requires a precise financial estimate from the start. Costs can vary significantly depending on the chosen materials, the condition of the existing structure, and necessary compliance upgrades.
It is advisable to request several detailed quotes to compare services. Do not forget to include a margin for contingencies, especially in older buildings where surprises may arise when stripping walls or floors.
To obtain a realistic price range adapted to the local market, use the free RenoIndex service. This will provide a solid foundation for discussing the budget with other co-owners when making decisions.

Frequently asked questions
When is the best time for a renovation?
Prefer quieter periods or school holidays if possible. This limits the impact of noise and dust for residents. Good coordination also helps to avoid peak demand periods for local craftsmen.
How to avoid cost overruns?
Establish a very precise specification sheet before requesting quotes. Always include a 10 to 15 percent contingency budget line to cover technical surprises inherent in renovation projects in older buildings.
Which materials to choose for a stairwell?
Choose materials that are resistant to traffic, easy to maintain, and compliant with fire requirements. Porcelain stoneware, polished concrete, or high-resistance paints are often recommended for their durability in common areas.
How to estimate the total price?
Use the RenoIndex estimator to get a price range based on local averages. Supplement this with quotes from Davos-based companies to refine the actual budget according to the specifics of your stairwell.
