Renovations, heritage and volumes

When planning your renovation in Schlieren, the official building register provides key figures to help you estimate project requirements. Regarding building volume, the data indicates a median of 1907 m3 for properties measured according to the SIA 416 standard, which is useful for gauging the scale of heating and insulation upgrades. Please be aware that data coverage is quite limited, as only three buildings were measured out of 538 total houses. Use these figures as a starting point for your project estimations, while keeping in mind that specific on-site measurements are recommended to ensure accurate planning for your renovation goals.

Planning the work

Planning is key to a successful renovation. It is important to define your energy and aesthetic goals. Remember that scaffolding accounts for a significant portion of the total cost.

Therefore, it is highly advisable to bundle facade work with window replacement or roof renovations if needed. This approach allows you to share infrastructure costs and optimize your overall investment.

Use RenoIndex to get a precise estimate for your project.

Legal aspects and permits

It is imperative to check local regulations in your municipality before incurring any costs or ordering materials. Meticulous administrative preparation will save you unnecessary delays.

Ensure you submit a complete file that respects local architectural standards to facilitate the approval process.

Managing grants

Inquire with cantonal authorities about current support programs. Even without specific aid, improving energy efficiency increases your property's value long-term. RenoIndex helps you better visualize your initial investment.

Choosing the right insulation

The choice of insulation material depends on your priorities : thermal performance, ecological impact, or budget. There are many options on the market, from synthetic insulation to natural solutions like wood fiber.

Discuss the advantages of each option with your professional based on your building type. Well-chosen insulation ensures durability and better acoustic comfort.

Remember to consult RenoIndex to get a cost estimate for different solutions and compare prices before making your final decision.
