Your project in the canton of Obwalden
Obwalden is a mountain canton centred on Lake Sarnen and the valley leading up to the Brünig Pass. Sarnen, the main town, has shops, apartment blocks and family homes, while Sachseln and Giswil stretch along the lake with chalets and farmhouses. Higher up, Lungern overlooks its own lake, and Kerns lies on a sunny plateau. Engelberg, separate from the rest of the canton, is a mountain resort consisting mainly of chalets, second homes and hotels, with a long, snowy winter. Although the canton is German-speaking, you can easily write your request in English. For a traditional chalet or an extension, ask the municipality about the applicable rules. Give the village or town and postcode and, for a second home, the periods when a property visit can be arranged.
- In Engelberg, say whether the property is a second home and when tradespeople can access it.
- For a chalet on a slope, say whether a lorry can get close or whether materials must be carried.
- If your house is near Lake Sarnen, mention any damp problems in the basement.
Made-to-measure projects in the canton of Obwalden
In Obwalden, made-to-measure projects take place between Lake Sarnen and the mountain resorts. In the resort of Engelberg, holiday homes and chalets are often redesigned: heated ski lockers, a drying room, a wellness area or extra bedrooms under the roof. Around the cantonal capital, family homes and hillside farms more often receive extensions, winter gardens or workshops for a self-employed activity. Many old buildings are timber, with low rooms and woodwork worth preserving. In the mountains, snow shortens the window for outdoor work. Before extending or changing the use of a building, contact the municipality. English is perfectly fine for describing your idea.
- For a chalet let during the season, schedule interior work between the ski and summer seasons so as not to lose bookings.
- A drying room for ski boots and clothing must be well ventilated, so mention this in your request.

Frequently asked questions
What details should I include for a bespoke project in Obwalden?
Describe the finished result, intended use and work that does not fit a standard category. Include approximate dimensions, materials and items to keep, with a sketch or safe photographs. State whether design, fabrication and installation should all be included in the proposed project.
How should I describe a project that spans several trades?
Explain the finished result first, then list the elements requiring design, fabrication or installation. Photographs or a sketch can show how these elements connect. Ask who coordinates the different tasks and which parts require a specialist assessment before a complete scope is agreed.
What should I compare in quotes for a bespoke project?
Compare deliverables, materials, design stages and installation against the same brief. Identify prototypes, measuring and any specialist checks separately. Ask how changes are documented and who approves final drawings, so that an initial concept is not confused with a finished installed item.
How should I prepare for a bespoke project visit or work?
Collect dimensions you can obtain safely, photographs and examples of the function or appearance wanted. Identify items to keep and restrictions on access. Keep the brief focused on the work; contact details and any sensitive documents can be handled privately when needed.
