Provide photographs and available plans so the contractor can assess equipment and access. If the project changes the exterior or adds space, include the planning information you already have. Scheduling should reflect the proposed work, site conditions and current access.

- For a roof exposed to the föhn, describe the type of roofing and its age.

Carpentry and roof structure work in the canton of Uri
In the canton of Uri, the Alpine valleys and the foehn leave a strong mark on roofs. In Flüelen and along the lake, old houses and chalets need well-anchored roof structures to withstand the gusts. In the Urseren valley, around Andermatt, altitude and snow demand robust structures, while new holiday homes need durable balconies and eaves. Alpine cowsheds and barns are often repaired after winter, with site access that is sometimes difficult. The favourable season remains short at altitude. Before converting a cowshed in Uri, ask your municipality about the conditions.
- In an area exposed to the foehn, have the fixings of the roof structure and covering checked before autumn.
- In Andermatt, aim for the summer months, when the passes are open and the weather more settled.

Frequently asked questions
What should I prepare for a roof structure project in Uri?
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.
