Your project in the canton of St. Gallen
The canton of St. Gallen almost entirely surrounds the two Appenzells and stretches from Lake Constance to Lake Zurich. The city of St. Gallen is known for its old town with oriel-windowed houses and for many buildings from its textile era. Rapperswil and Jona, on the shore of Lake Zurich, combine a historic centre with newer residential districts. Wil and Gossau are busy regional centres, while in the Rhine Valley, Altstätten and Buchs lie close to the Austrian border. The Toggenburg, around Wattwil, is a hilly landscape of farms and timber chalets. The canton is German-speaking, but your request can be written in English. For an old house in a town centre, ask your municipality whether the planned work requires approval. Give the municipality and postcode and describe building access, whether the project is in town, by the lake or in the Toggenburg.
- For an oriel-windowed house in St. Gallen's old town, attach photos of the façade and windows.
- In the Toggenburg, say whether the house is isolated and how it can be reached in winter.
- On the shores of Lake Zurich or Lake Constance, describe access to the plot and the space available for materials.
Complete renovation in the canton of St. Gallen
In the canton of St. Gallen, complete renovations reflect the diversity of the territory. In St. Gallen, old town houses with carved oriels and villas from the embroidery era offer interiors rich in woodwork, to be renovated with delicacy. In Rapperswil-Jona, on Lake Zurich, flats and family homes are being modernised to gain comfort and light. In the Toggenburg, around Wattwil, timber farmhouses with many windows require carefully adapted insulation. For any project affecting the appearance of a building in a historic centre such as Wil, check with your municipality. The region's damp climate makes managing water vapour in the walls important.
- If your St. Gallen house has an oriel or carved woodwork, have it protected during the interior demolition.
- In a Toggenburg house, plan suitable ventilation after insulating, to avoid condensation behind the panelling.

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