Preparing your facade works

Before starting facade insulation, an assessment is essential. It helps identify the current state of your wall and the actual insulation needs. A grant application must usually be filed before work starts, so check the current conditions carefully.

Anticipating the timeline is crucial to avoid setbacks. To get an initial budget idea tailored to your building in Egg, use our free RenoIndex estimator. Rigorous planning from the start allows you to better manage your overall project budget.

Respecting planning regulations

Protected buildings or those in specific zones may be subject to strict rules regarding materials or colors. Make sure to obtain all necessary permits before ordering materials.

Use RenoIndex to estimate your project costs while integrating the technical and aesthetic requirements of your facade.

Optimizing construction costs

Scaffolding is a big share of the cost : bundle facade, windows and roof. By planning these works simultaneously, you split the fixed costs related to site setup. This also results in a more consistent overall outcome for your home's thermal insulation in Egg.
