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.
Carpentry and roof structure work in the canton of Geneva
In Geneva, carpentry work concerns both the lofts of older buildings and the villas of the Geneva countryside. In the Old Town and the nineteenth-century districts, attics are sometimes converted into flats, which requires the joists to be strengthened and the work to be coordinated with the property management company or the co-owners. In Cologny and the residential municipalities, carpenters are mainly called in for pergolas, carports, eaves or timber terraces. By the lake, humidity and the bise wear down exposed timber. Whether it is a carport, a pergola or an altered roof, check with your Geneva municipality beforehand.
- For a pergola exposed to the bise, ask for fixings and bracing suited to the gusts of the Lake Geneva basin.
- Before converting a Geneva attic, have it checked that the joists can bear the weight of a habitable floor.

Frequently asked questions
What should I prepare for a roof structure project in Geneva?
Gather the plans of the building, photos of the existing roof and any engineer's or architect's reports. Describe the project clearly, whether it is a repair, an extension or a new structure. The carpenter will then check the load-bearing elements and propose suitable timber and assembly methods.
When does a timber project need structural assessment?
A new opening, added storey, altered roof or damaged load-bearing timber can change how loads are carried. Provide existing drawings and reports where available. Ask who will establish the structural design and any required checks before fabrication or changes to the existing frame.
What should I compare in timber frame carpenter quotes?
Compare timber specification, assembly, structural design and interfaces with the rest of the building. Check access equipment and temporary weather protection. Clarify whether roofing, insulation and interior finishes are included, so a structural frame is not compared with a complete finished extension.
How should I prepare for the timber frame carpenter visit or work?
Gather building plans and earlier timber or roof reports. Explain occupied areas and access for long or bulky components. Do not remove structural elements to expose them yourself; agree survey access and how the building remains protected during the work.
