Your project in the canton of Zurich

Around the Limmat and the lake, the canton of Zurich offers a great variety of buildings. In the city of Zurich, older rental buildings, condominium flats and old town buildings stand side by side in a dense setting where parking is scarce. Winterthur, the canton's second city, has a lively old town and converted industrial districts. On the lakeshores, Thalwil, Horgen and Wädenswil have many villas and houses with views, often on slopes. The Zurich Oberland, around Uster, combines residential districts and villages, while in the north, Kloten and Bülach have grown around the airport. The canton is German-speaking, but your request can be written in English. An extension or work in an old town may involve formalities, and your municipality will tell you which. Give the municipality and postcode, building access and any restrictions in an occupied home or operating business premises.

  • In the city of Zurich, mention the parking options and whether there is a lift.
  • For a lakeside villa on a slope, describe access to the plot and any outdoor steps.
  • For a condominium building, say whether the work concerns only your own unit or the communal areas too.

Made-to-measure projects in the canton of Zurich

In the canton of Zurich, made-to-measure projects range from city flats to winegrowers' houses. In Winterthur, former industrial halls and workers' housing are converted into lofts, workshops or shared workspaces. Around Wädenswil, on the left bank of the lake, houses with a view host winter gardens, covered terraces or basement studios for teenagers. In the Weinland, farms and wine cellars lend themselves to tasting or reception venues. Rental buildings, very numerous in the city, limit changes to light interior fittings, with the owner's consent. For an annex, a change of use or an external alteration, consult your municipality first.

  • In a loft set in a former industrial hall, plan a heating solution suited to the great ceiling height.
  • If you rent, obtain written consent from the owner or property management company before any alteration, even a removable one.

Frequently asked questions

What details should I include for a bespoke project in Zurich?

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.
