  • Space for scaffolding, neighbours, pavement or road to occupy, and your timeframe

Your project in the canton of Geneva

For a project in Geneva, give the municipality and postcode, the rooms or building elements involved and the outcome you want. Describe the actual access: floor, lift, vehicle approach, parking and space for deliveries. Say whether the home or business premises will remain in use during the work. In a rented property or condominium, identify which areas are private and which are shared, and who coordinates decisions about them. If the project changes the exterior or concerns a protected building, check the applicable requirements with the competent authority before starting. Photos, existing plans and any approval documents already available help define the work without assumptions about a neighbourhood’s buildings.

  • In a rental building or condominium, say whether the property management company or the co-owners have already given their agreement.
  • For a flat in town, give the floor, whether there is a lift and what parking is available.
  • For a villa in the Geneva countryside, describe access to the garden if machinery needs to get in.

Façade work in the canton of Geneva

In Geneva, a large share of the façades to be renovated fall under a property management company, for rental buildings, or a condominium, where refurbishment is decided collectively. Large housing estates built during the decades of strong growth, such as those in Onex, are often fitted with external insulation to improve comfort and reduce heat loss. In the historic districts, dressed-stone façades, wrought-iron balconies and mouldings require delicate cleaning and repairs; ask the municipality as soon as a project affects the appearance of a building. The cold, drying bise means fresh render must be protected with sheeting on the scaffolding.

  • If your building is a condominium, ask for several render samples to be applied on site so the owners' meeting can choose with full knowledge.
  • When the bise is blowing, make sure the scaffolding is sheeted to prevent freshly applied render from drying too quickly and cracking.

Frequently asked questions

How is a facade renovation organised in Geneva?

The company first assesses the condition of the facade and identifies cracks, moisture or damaged render. Scaffolding is then erected, the surfaces are cleaned and repaired, and the new finish is applied. Ask how windows, plants and access to the building will be protected during the work.

Should a facade crack simply be covered with new render?

Describe the crack pattern, age and any observed changes, with photographs from safe ground positions. The cause may need assessment before a finish is renewed. Ask how damaged areas and moisture will be investigated and which repairs are included in the proposed facade treatment.

What should I compare in facade contractor quotes?

Compare cleaning, repairs, render or coating and work at windows or junctions. Check scaffolding, protection and disposal as well as the finish specification. Where insulation is proposed, make sure it is separately described rather than assuming every facade renewal includes it.

How should I prepare for the facade contractor visit or work?

Identify access routes, balconies, planted areas and fixtures requiring protection. Gather information about earlier facade work. Agree arrangements with neighbours or the building manager where scaffolding affects shared areas, and keep windows or vents accessible as specified by the work plan.
