Your project in the canton of Basel-Landschaft

Basel-Landschaft largely surrounds the city of Basel and extends towards the hills of the Tabular Jura. The municipalities near the border, such as Allschwil, Binningen, Muttenz and Pratteln, are densely built, with apartment blocks, business areas and terraced houses. Further south, Liestal has kept a compact old town, while Sissach and the villages of the Ergolz valley retain a rural character, with farmhouses and cherry orchards. Post-war houses and those from the following decades are common and are often due for energy upgrades or new kitchens and bathrooms. The canton is German-speaking, but you can still describe your project in English. For alterations affecting the outside of a building, check with your municipality. Add the village or town and postcode, together with delivery arrangements in the village street or residential area.

  • For a post-war house, describe the current condition of the heating and windows.
  • In a densely built municipality such as Allschwil or Binningen, mention the parking options in front of the building.
  • For a former farmhouse, describe which parts are to be converted and which are to stay as they are.

Masonry work in the canton of Basel-Landschaft

In Basel-Landschaft, the farming villages of the Tabular Jura retain limestone houses with adjoining barns that many owners are converting into homes. These conversions require the mason to create openings, rework thick walls and build new slabs. Closer to the city, in Allschwil or Muttenz, apartment blocks and newer terraced houses tend to need repairs to balconies, outdoor steps and cellar walls. The clay subsoil on some slopes retains water: proper drainage and good waterproofing of buried walls matter a great deal. For a barn in the heart of a village, check with your municipality.

  • Before converting a barn, have the load-bearing walls and foundations checked: they were not designed to carry inhabited floors.
  • On sloping clay ground, ask for the drainage to be connected to a reliable outlet and for an inspection chamber to allow it to be checked.

Frequently asked questions

What should I discuss with a mason before starting work in Basel-Landschaft?

Explain the project precisely, whether it is a wall, an opening, an extension or a repair. Ask the mason how the site will be organised, including access for materials, protection and waste removal. For load-bearing walls, check whether an engineer needs to be involved.

What should be established before opening a wall?

Available plans and a site assessment are needed to understand the wall and any services within it. A load-bearing opening needs suitable structural design. Ask who arranges assessment, supports and applicable procedures before demolition; a photograph alone cannot establish whether removal is safe.

What should I compare in mason quotes?

Compare preparation, structural or masonry work and the finish around it. Include supports, material delivery and disposal where applicable. Ask how interfaces with doors, windows or adjoining trades are coordinated, and identify any items that remain provisional until the site has been assessed.

How should I prepare for the mason visit or work?

Gather plans and photographs and state which areas are occupied. Identify access for materials and possible storage space. Do not start demolition to speed up the job; agree the work sequence, protective measures and any required specialist checks with the project team.
