Your project in the canton of Geneva
For a project in Geneva, give the municipality and postcode, the rooms or building elements involved and the outcome you want. Describe the actual access: floor, lift, vehicle approach, parking and space for deliveries. Say whether the home or business premises will remain in use during the work. In a rented property or condominium, identify which areas are private and which are shared, and who coordinates decisions about them. If the project changes the exterior or concerns a protected building, check the applicable requirements with the competent authority before starting. Photos, existing plans and any approval documents already available help define the work without assumptions about a neighbourhood’s buildings.
- In a rental building or condominium, say whether the property management company or the co-owners have already given their agreement.
- For a flat in town, give the floor, whether there is a lift and what parking is available.
- For a villa in the Geneva countryside, describe access to the garden if machinery needs to get in.
Accessibility adaptations for people with reduced mobility in the canton of Geneva
In Geneva, most people with reduced mobility live in flats, in buildings where the property management company, or the administrator in condominium ownership, must approve any changes. In older buildings in Eaux-Vives or La Jonction, the lift does not always come down to the entrance hall, and a few steps separate the front door from the lift car: a platform or indoor ramp can resolve this. In the tower blocks of Vernier and Meyrin, requests focus mainly on the bathroom, replacing the bath and widening doors. In the villas of Cologny, it is rather access to the garden and upper floors that is studied. For outdoor alterations, contact your municipality.
- Before adapting a rented flat in Geneva, ask the property management company for written confirmation of whether reinstatement will be required when you leave.
- For a villa, think about the path between the parking space and the entrance: a firm, gravel-less surface makes getting around much easier.

Frequently asked questions
How should an accessible route be defined in Geneva?
Identify the starting point, rooms and everyday tasks the route must connect, including entrances and shared areas. Note thresholds, door movement and equipment used without publishing medical diagnoses. Ask for assessment of the whole route, so adapting one doorway does not leave another practical obstacle unresolved.
How can I describe accessibility needs without medical details?
Explain the movements and tasks that are difficult, the equipment used and the relevant room or doorway dimensions. A description of the practical obstacle can support planning without a medical history. Ask for an assessment of the actual space and the proposed solution before selecting equipment.
What should I compare in adaptations for reduced mobility quotes?
Compare adaptations against the same practical needs, including door clearances, manoeuvring space and controls. Clarify installation, testing and making good surrounding finishes. Ask which assessments are necessary and who coordinates them; a product alone does not establish that the complete route is accessible.
How should I prepare for the adaptations for reduced mobility visit or work?
Prepare a simple route plan from the entrance to the rooms used most. Note thresholds, narrow points and items to retain. Discuss the proposed changes with the person who will use them, and arrange any specialist assessment privately when it is relevant.
