Your project in the canton of Basel-Stadt

Basel-Stadt is an urban canton made up of the city of Basel and the municipalities of Riehen and Bettingen. On both banks of the Rhine, Grossbasel and Kleinbasel combine old townhouses, early twentieth-century apartment buildings and contemporary architecture. The old town, with its steep lanes and inner courtyards, can make vehicle access tricky. Greener Riehen has mainly villas, while hilltop Bettingen keeps a village feel. In such a dense setting, parking, scaffolding and rubble removal need forward planning. The local language is German, but your request can be written in English without difficulty. For any work on an old building or in the old town, check with your municipality beforehand. State the district or municipality, postcode and parking arrangements or access to the building's courtyard.

  • In the old town, describe the width of the street and whether there is a lift.
  • For a flat in a rental building, say whether the owner or the property management company has given their agreement.
  • Mention whether there is space in the courtyard to store materials during the work.

Complete renovation in the canton of Basel-Stadt

In Basel, most complete renovations take place in tightly packed urban buildings, often over several floors and without a lift. Terraced houses in Kleinbasel or Gundeldingen, with their parquet floors and timber staircases, lend themselves well to a complete refurbishment, provided the original features are preserved. The lack of space in the streets means thinking early about removing rubble and parking a skip. In Riehen, villas and mansions surrounded by gardens offer more space, but the municipality closely monitors exterior changes, so check with it. In a condominium, the owners' meeting generally has to approve work affecting common areas.

  • For a Basel building without a lift, ask how heavy materials will be brought up: via the stairs, a goods hoist or the window.
  • Have the condition of the timber floors assessed before laying a new floor covering, as some old storeys sag under load.

Frequently asked questions

How is a full renovation organised in Basel-Stadt?

It starts with a site visit and a clear definition of the project, followed by the necessary plans and formalities. The trades then work in a planned order, usually from demolition to finishes. Regular site meetings let you follow progress and approve choices.

How can the scope of a full renovation be kept manageable?

Break the project into rooms and work packages, then identify their interfaces and the person coordinating them. Existing structure and installations need assessment before the final sequence is agreed. Ask how choices, discoveries and changes will be documented and approved throughout the project.

What should I compare in full renovation quotes?

Compare surveys, design, removal, installations and finishes against the same detailed brief. Check which work packages are provisional and who coordinates them. Ask for a project-specific sequence and approval process, rather than relying on a generic duration for a whole-property renovation.

How should I prepare for the full renovation visit or work?

Gather plans, earlier reports and a list of retained features. Describe occupancy and access constraints early. Agree surveys, protection, storage and temporary services with the project team; do not strip out old materials before the required assessments and work sequence have been established.
