Planning your kitchen project efficiently

A successful renovation begins with a precise analysis of your needs. Measure the base-cabinet run along the walls, as this element, rather than floor area, drives the price more than anything else. Also, consider the ergonomic layout of your work zones.

By carefully planning the placement of appliances, you optimize your daily comfort.

Do not forget to consult RenoIndex to obtain a price range in CHF based on your specific measurements, allowing you to establish a realistic budget before starting the renovation work.

Optimizing the budget through technical choices

To reduce costs, the most effective strategy is to limit structural changes. Keeping the sink and water connections in place avoids costly plumbing work. If your pipes are in good condition, leave them as they are.

Similarly, consider keeping certain structural elements if their layout still suits you. Each complex change requires specialized intervention that quickly increases the final bill.

Use our RenoIndex simulator to compare the financial impacts of your various renovation choices to keep your budget under control.

Formalities for tenants and owners

Before starting your project in Kirchberg, it is essential to respect the legal frameworks. If you are a tenant or in a condominium, you must check for owner or co-owner approval before ordering any new items. Significant changes may require specific permits.

Ensure you have all necessary written approvals to avoid costly disputes. Transparent communication with stakeholders ensures a smooth renovation process.

Use RenoIndex to prepare a clear file of your projected work for your discussions with landlords or co-owners.

Funding and support in the Canton of St. Gallen

Financing is a key step in your renovation project. Although there are no general automatic subsidies for every kitchen renovation at the cantonal level, it is recommended to inquire about support related to energy efficiency.

If your project includes replacing old appliances with high-energy-performance models or increased insulation, programs might be available. Consult the official information from the Canton of St. Gallen to check your eligibility.
