Your project in the canton of Geneva
For a project in Geneva, give the municipality and postcode, the rooms or building elements involved and the outcome you want. Describe the actual access: floor, lift, vehicle approach, parking and space for deliveries. Say whether the home or business premises will remain in use during the work. In a rented property or condominium, identify which areas are private and which are shared, and who coordinates decisions about them. If the project changes the exterior or concerns a protected building, check the applicable requirements with the competent authority before starting. Photos, existing plans and any approval documents already available help define the work without assumptions about a neighbourhood’s buildings.
- In a rental building or condominium, say whether the property management company or the co-owners have already given their agreement.
- For a flat in town, give the floor, whether there is a lift and what parking is available.
- For a villa in the Geneva countryside, describe access to the garden if machinery needs to get in.
Gates, fences and railings in the canton of Geneva
In the canton of Geneva, requests often come from property management companies and condominiums: making balcony railings that are too low safer, replacing stairwell barriers, securing access to roofs. In residential municipalities such as Cologny or Versoix, villa owners look for motorised sliding gates, privacy fences and integrated intercoms. In the Geneva countryside, wine estates and mansions retain wrought iron gates and stone pillars that must be carefully restored. Near Lake Geneva, the humid air encourages corrosion: galvanised steel or stainless steel is then recommended. Before building a fence on a property boundary, check with the municipality.
- For a villa gate opening directly onto the road, ask for a sliding gate so it does not encroach on the pavement.
- In a building run by a property management company, have the railing model approved before ordering to keep the façade uniform.

Frequently asked questions
What should I specify for a made-to-measure gate in Geneva?
Give the width of the opening, the slope of the ground and whether you want a swing or sliding gate. Specify the material, the style and whether you want motorisation or an intercom. Photos of the entrance help the company plan the installation.
What affects the choice between a sliding and a swing gate?
Available side space, ground slope and vehicle access affect how a gate can move. Provide photographs and approximate dimensions of the entrance. Ask the installer to assess foundations, clearances and controls before agreeing a layout, particularly where the gate opens near a shared route.
What should I compare in made-to-measure gates, fences and railings quotes?
Compare structure, finish, foundations and fitting, with motorisation and access controls separately specified. For railings, clarify the support and intended protective function. Ask how the completed installation is checked and which work on paving or adjoining surfaces is included.
How should I prepare for the made-to-measure gates, fences and railings visit or work?
Prepare a sketch of the entrance or edge to protect and mark known boundaries. Explain delivery and vehicle-access constraints. Keep access codes private, and agree permissions for shared property and any required specialist assessment before fabrication or site alterations proceed.
