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.
Complete renovation in the canton of Fribourg
In the canton of Fribourg, a complete renovation may concern a house in Fribourg's old town, built of molasse on the slopes of the Sarine, as well as a Gruyère farmhouse near Bulle. Molasse is sensitive to moisture and requires breathable renders, which guides the choice of insulation. In the Gruyère, old farmhouses with large roofs are often converted into several homes, raising questions of access, light and structure. In Murten, the arcaded houses of the old town demand particular care, and any work on the façade means checking with your municipality. In the Broye, around Estavayer-le-Lac, many villas from the boom years are due for a complete refurbishment.
- On a molasse wall, avoid impermeable cement renders: they trap moisture and cause the stone to crumble.
- To convert a Gruyère farmhouse into several homes, first have accurate plans of the existing building drawn up, including the roof structure.

Frequently asked questions
How is a full renovation organised in Fribourg?
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.
