Your project in the canton of Jura
For work in the canton of Jura, identify the property by its municipality and postcode, whether in Delémont, Porrentruy, the Franches-Montagnes, Moutier or another municipality. Describe the part of the building concerned and its current condition. If the property includes both living rooms and former farm spaces, identify which areas belong to the project instead of assuming that all parts need the same work. Give vehicle access, any narrow passage or steps, and whether the building will remain occupied. For a conversion or an exterior alteration, clarify the project-specific requirements with the municipality or competent authority and provide any existing protection or approval documents.
- For a farmhouse in the Franches-Montagnes, specify which part (living quarters, barn, stable) is concerned.
- Mention your current heating system, as insulation matters a great deal given the Jura winters.
- In the old town of Porrentruy or Delémont, describe access from the street and the space available in front of the house.
Masonry work in the canton of Jura
In the Jura, limestone shapes the built landscape: massive farmhouses on the high plateau, town houses in Porrentruy and dry-stone walls lining the pastures. These old buildings have very thick walls, sometimes without real foundations, and react badly to impermeable renders. Masons repoint, consolidate, rework lintels or create openings when converting a barn. On the heights around Saignelégier, intense and prolonged frost splits waterlogged stones; good drainage of roof water protects the walls and considerably prolongs their life. In Porrentruy's old centre, talk to the municipality before touching a façade.
- For a collapsed dry-stone wall, ask for it to be rebuilt the traditional way, without mortar, using stones recovered on site.
- To open a large window in an old Jura farmhouse, ask for the planned lintel and the bearing of the roof beams to be checked.

Frequently asked questions
What should I discuss with a mason before starting work in Jura?
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.
