Your project in the canton of Fribourg
The canton of Fribourg links French- and German-speaking Switzerland, and bilingualism is part of everyday life. The city of Fribourg, with its Lower Town beside the Sarine, has old houses where access can be narrow. Bulle and the Gruyère region combine newer districts, farmhouses and alpine chalets, while Châtel-St-Denis opens onto the Veveyse. In the north, Estavayer-le-Lac and Murten line the lakes, with remarkably well-preserved walled old towns. In the Sense district, around Düdingen, German is the main language. Your request can be written in English anywhere in the canton; let us know whether contact in French or German also suits you. Façades, windows or an extension may require approval, and your municipality can tell you more. Give the municipality, postcode and preferred language for communication, along with building access details.
- For a house in Fribourg's Lower Town, describe the access constraints and the slope of the street.
- In the Gruyère region, for a chalet or farmhouse, give the altitude and explain access in winter.
- State your preferred language, particularly in the Sense or Lake districts.
Bespoke staircases in the canton of Fribourg
In the canton of Fribourg, bespoke staircases reflect the variety of the local architecture. In the Gruyère region, around Bulle, chalets and converted farmhouses call for solid, warm staircases in spruce or larch, sometimes with a balustrade cut in the local style. In the city of Fribourg, the narrow houses of the Lower Town, built against the cliff, have steep staircases that need replacing without disturbing the old walls. In the Broye and Lake districts, recent villas favour open staircases with oak treads and a steel structure. The large volumes of former barns are well suited to mezzanines. In the old town, the municipality will explain the rules before any stairwell is moved.
- For a mezzanine in a former barn, plan the staircase and the supporting structure together so that the supports are properly sized.
- In a hillside house, ask for a continuous handrail on both sides if the staircase is particularly steep.

Frequently asked questions
How can replacing a staircase affect access in Fribourg?
Explain which rooms and entrances depend on the existing stair and whether occupants need access during the work. Removal, delivery and fitting must be coordinated with the structural assessment. Ask who plans any temporary route and protects the opening before the old staircase is taken out.
Which measurements matter when designing a staircase?
Floor-to-floor height, opening shape, headroom and access affect the design. Initial dimensions can explain the brief, but final measurements and structural support need professional assessment. Include the expected users and surrounding doorways so the proposed staircase can be checked in its actual setting.
What should I compare in bespoke staircase quotes?
Compare the stair structure, treads, finish, handrails and guarding with measuring and installation. Identify removal of an existing stair and work on floors or walls separately. Ask who checks supports and relevant requirements, and approve the final design before fabrication.
How should I prepare for the bespoke staircase visit or work?
Provide available floor plans and photographs of both levels. Describe delivery access and the route that must remain usable. Do not remove an existing stair or alter the opening before the agreed assessment, and confirm temporary access arrangements as part of the work sequence.
