Management and decision-making in condominiums

In a condominium setting in Dürnten, stairwell renovation is considered common property. The decision must be validated during a general assembly of co-owners. It is standard to finance these works using the renovation fund accumulated over the years.

Make sure to consult the condominium regulations to understand the cost-sharing keys.

Transparent communication between all owners from the start of the project helps avoid tension and ensures the necessary funds are available for the contractors when the renovation begins.

Safety standards and compliance

Safety is the priority when renovating a stairwell. From the study phase, it is crucial to integrate fire-safety requirements, notably replacing fire doors if necessary and installing compliant emergency lighting.

These elements are not only mandatory for resident safety but also add long-term value to your building. Remember that federal and cantonal regulations dictate these fire safety rules.

Work with professionals accustomed to residential buildings to ensure every detail of your project strictly complies with the legislation currently in force in Switzerland.

Organization of works and phasing

To limit disruptions during the renovation, rigorous organization is key. Phasing floor by floor is a recommended method to allow residents to continue using the stairs while maintaining safety.

By coordinating contractors well, you minimize wait times between different steps, such as sanding steps, painting, and replacing light fixtures.

Use the RenoIndex calculator to estimate costs based on the project size, allowing you to better manage your budget and plan payments for the different tradespeople involved on site.
