Renovations, heritage and volumes

For home renovations in Epalinges, consulting official register data is essential. With 643 buildings designated under heritage protection out of 783 known cases, you must contact the municipality early regarding permit requirements. The median building volume of 963 m3, based on SIA 416 standards, helps determine the scale of necessary heating or insulation upgrades. Please be aware that data coverage is partial, as volume measurements are available for only 362 houses. Additionally, no specific data is recorded for the renovation year, so assess your property's condition carefully when planning your improvement budget.

Tips before you start

  • The base (concrete slab, pedestals, gravel bed) matters as much as the covering.
  • In frosty areas, choose frost-resistant pavers and tiles.
  • A covered or raised terrace may need a municipal permit.
