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.

Surface preparation

Surface preparation is a crucial step that determines the quality of the finish. Filling cracks and sanding often take up half of the total working time. A poorly prepared wall will make imperfections stand out under the new paint.

It is advisable to clean all surfaces thoroughly to ensure optimal adhesion. For any project, you can consult RenoIndex to get an estimated cost for this essential phase of your painting work.

Precautions for older buildings

If your home in Maur was built many decades ago, be vigilant during renovation. In older buildings, old paint may contain lead, a toxic heavy metal.

It is imperative to have your walls tested by specialists before undertaking any sanding that could release hazardous dust. Health safety must be a priority before starting work.

RenoIndex helps you estimate your costs while advising you to hire qualified professionals to manage these specific risks.

Optimization of the work

To reduce the budget for your painting work, smart planning is the key. Painting ceilings and walls simultaneously significantly reduces the costs for protection, cleaning, and the set-up of scaffolding or ladders.

By organizing your construction site coherently, you avoid unnecessary repetition and optimize the working time of the craftsmen.

Use our RenoIndex estimator to compare costs based on the total surface area of your home and plan each step of your renovation project efficiently.
