Renovations, heritage and volumes

For your renovation projects in Maur, the official building register provides essential reference points. The median building volume stands at 1163 m3, which serves as a key indicator for scaling your future heating or insulation improvements. Please note that these volume figures are based on a limited sample size of only 12 buildings measured according to SIA 416 standards, indicating partial data coverage. Since information regarding renovation years and heritage protection is not recorded in the register, you should consult the municipality directly early in your planning phase to clarify any potential restrictions or requirements for your specific property.

Choosing the right equipment

Selecting the right materials and fixtures is crucial. Swapping a bathtub for a walk-in shower requires checking the available drain slope to ensure optimal water flow. Furthermore, keep in mind that hard water scales fittings and shower screens quickly.

We recommend prioritizing easy-clean surfaces and lime-resistant materials to simplify your daily maintenance routine. Also, consider the ergonomics and durability of your new installations to ensure long-term satisfaction with your investment.

Planning the timeline

Successful renovation relies on rigorous planning. In general, you should expect roughly 2 to 4 weeks of construction time during which your bathroom will be unusable. It is important to organize an alternative during this period.

Anticipate material lead times, as some custom equipment may take longer to arrive. Coordinating different tradespeople, such as plumbers and electricians, is also essential to avoid unnecessary downtime.

Thorough preparation helps keep to the planned schedule and limits disruptions during the renovation process.

Financial aspects and estimations

The cost of a renovation depends on the quality of chosen materials and the extent of required plumbing or electrical work. It is advisable to allow for a 10 to 15 percent margin for unexpected issues, which are common during renovations of older buildings.

Tips for a smooth renovation

For a smooth experience, communication with the contracted companies is key. Ensure you have detailed quotes and a clear schedule. In Maur, as elsewhere, it is recommended to hire qualified local companies to ensure efficient follow-up.

Do not forget to protect your floors and furniture in passageways before the start of work to prevent accidental damage. Once the work is finished, carefully check the finishes with the craftsman before handover.

Regular maintenance afterward will extend the lifespan of your new equipment.
