Your project in the canton of Glarus
The canton of Glarus occupies a narrow alpine valley framed by peaks, where the Linth flows down towards Lake Walen. The main town, Glarus, was largely rebuilt in the nineteenth century and has a regular street plan with stone buildings. Näfels and Mollis, to the north, feature mansions and residential districts, while Schwanden and Linthal, further up, retain former textile workers' housing. The mountain climate, with snow and the föhn wind, influences the choice of materials and the timing of outdoor work. The canton is German-speaking, but a request in English is entirely possible. For an old building or a change visible from the street, contact your municipality. Add the village or town and postcode, distinguishing the valley road from narrower routes to your building.
- In the upper valley, say whether the access road is affected by snow or closures.
- For a former worker's house, describe the condition of the roof and exterior walls.
- If your house is exposed to the föhn, mention it for any work on the roof or shutters.
Complete renovation in the canton of Glarus
In the canton of Glarus, the narrow Linth valley brings together a wide variety of buildings: timber village houses, manor houses and former textile mills. In Glarus, the town rebuilt after the great fire offers regular streets and stone buildings whose flats lend themselves to complete renovation, floor by floor. Higher up, around Linthal or Schwanden, old houses endure the long shade of the mountains in winter and the foehn that dries out woodwork. Converting a former factory into homes is a demanding operation: check with your municipality about the building's permitted use. The thick walls of these industrial buildings nevertheless offer fine spaces to redesign.
- In a valley-floor house with little sunshine, pay particular attention to insulating the north walls and ventilating damp rooms.
- If the woodwork has suffered from the foehn, ask for an assessment of window seals and floors before redoing the finishes.

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