Your project in the canton of Zurich
Around the Limmat and the lake, the canton of Zurich offers a great variety of buildings. In the city of Zurich, older rental buildings, condominium flats and old town buildings stand side by side in a dense setting where parking is scarce. Winterthur, the canton's second city, has a lively old town and converted industrial districts. On the lakeshores, Thalwil, Horgen and Wädenswil have many villas and houses with views, often on slopes. The Zurich Oberland, around Uster, combines residential districts and villages, while in the north, Kloten and Bülach have grown around the airport. The canton is German-speaking, but your request can be written in English. An extension or work in an old town may involve formalities, and your municipality will tell you which. Give the municipality and postcode, building access and any restrictions in an occupied home or operating business premises.
- In the city of Zurich, mention the parking options and whether there is a lift.
- For a lakeside villa on a slope, describe access to the plot and any outdoor steps.
- For a condominium building, say whether the work concerns only your own unit or the communal areas too.
Complete renovation in the canton of Zurich
In the canton of Zurich, complete renovations are mostly found in older buildings in the city and the lakeside municipalities. In Zurich, flats in late nineteenth-century buildings, with their herringbone parquet and cornices, are often completely redesigned to open the kitchen onto the living room. In Winterthur, old workers' houses and homes in converted industrial districts lend themselves to complete refurbishments. On the left bank of the lake, in Thalwil or Horgen, villas with lake views are the subject of more ambitious projects. In old centres such as Bülach, if you want to change the appearance of a façade, your municipality will explain the procedure, so check with it.
- In an older Zurich building, ask whether the herringbone parquet can be sanded and kept rather than replaced.
- In the city of Zurich, think early about using the public road for a skip or scaffolding, and check with your municipality.

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