Your project in the canton of Vaud
The canton of Vaud stretches from the shores of Lake Geneva to the Vaud Alps. Lausanne, built on steep slopes, has many older rental buildings, condominium flats and streets where parking is difficult. On the Riviera, Vevey and Montreux combine Belle Époque buildings with villas overlooking the lake, while the slopes of Lavaux are covered in terraced vineyards. Nyon and Morges combine old towns and residential districts. Yverdon-les-Bains, at the end of Lake Neuchâtel, and Payerne, in the Broye, open onto more rural surroundings. In the Chablais and the Alps, around Aigle, chalets and mountain houses contend with snow. For a façade, windows or an extension, approval may be required, so check with your municipality. State the municipality and postcode, the type of property and access to the rooms or outdoor areas concerned.
- In Lausanne, describe the slope of the street, the floor and parking options for a works vehicle.
- For a winegrower's house in Lavaux, describe access via the vineyard paths and the space available.
- For a chalet in the Vaud Alps, give the altitude and the period when the road is clear.
Bespoke staircases in the canton of Vaud
In the canton of Vaud, bespoke staircases adapt to very different buildings. In Lausanne, old buildings on the slope offer duplexes and penthouses where a compact straight or winding staircase links two levels without sacrificing space; in condominium ownership, the co-owners' approval must be obtained. The winegrowers' houses of Lavaux and La Côte keep their stone and oak staircases, which are restored in keeping with their old character. In Nyon, family villas often choose open staircases in steel and wood. Chalets in the Vaud Alps favour solid wood. For an old building, the municipality will explain any procedures required.
- In a winegrower's house, think about the cellar stairs: stone or treated wood suited to the damp basement works best.
- For a Lausanne penthouse, have access for long components checked; a staircase delivered in dismountable sections makes transport easier.

Frequently asked questions
How can replacing a staircase affect access in Vaud?
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.
