Your project in the canton of Vaud
The canton of Vaud stretches from the shores of Lake Geneva to the Vaud Alps. Lausanne, built on steep slopes, has many older rental buildings, condominium flats and streets where parking is difficult. On the Riviera, Vevey and Montreux combine Belle Époque buildings with villas overlooking the lake, while the slopes of Lavaux are covered in terraced vineyards. Nyon and Morges combine old towns and residential districts. Yverdon-les-Bains, at the end of Lake Neuchâtel, and Payerne, in the Broye, open onto more rural surroundings. In the Chablais and the Alps, around Aigle, chalets and mountain houses contend with snow. For a façade, windows or an extension, approval may be required, so check with your municipality. State the municipality and postcode, the type of property and access to the rooms or outdoor areas concerned.
- In Lausanne, describe the slope of the street, the floor and parking options for a works vehicle.
- For a winegrower's house in Lavaux, describe access via the vineyard paths and the space available.
- For a chalet in the Vaud Alps, give the altitude and the period when the road is clear.
Masonry work in the canton of Vaud
In the canton of Vaud, the vineyards of Lavaux and La Côte rest on stone walls that hold up the terraces and need regular maintenance. In Lausanne, built on steep slopes, apartment blocks and condominiums generate repairs to balconies, retaining walls, stairwells and interior openings. In the Gros-de-Vaud and the Broye, thick-walled Vaud farmhouses are being converted into homes, with barns to open up and slabs to create. In Nyon and along Lake Geneva, the cellars of waterside villas require careful waterproofing. For a façade in an old village, check with your municipality.
- For a vineyard wall in Lavaux, call on a mason skilled in dry stone or traditional mortar, depending on the original construction.
- Before converting a Vaud barn, have the condition of the walls and roof structure surveyed to avoid unpleasant surprises during the work.

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