Your project in the canton of Basel-Stadt
Basel-Stadt is an urban canton made up of the city of Basel and the municipalities of Riehen and Bettingen. On both banks of the Rhine, Grossbasel and Kleinbasel combine old townhouses, early twentieth-century apartment buildings and contemporary architecture. The old town, with its steep lanes and inner courtyards, can make vehicle access tricky. Greener Riehen has mainly villas, while hilltop Bettingen keeps a village feel. In such a dense setting, parking, scaffolding and rubble removal need forward planning. The local language is German, but your request can be written in English without difficulty. For any work on an old building or in the old town, check with your municipality beforehand. State the district or municipality, postcode and parking arrangements or access to the building's courtyard.
- In the old town, describe the width of the street and whether there is a lift.
- For a flat in a rental building, say whether the owner or the property management company has given their agreement.
- Mention whether there is space in the courtyard to store materials during the work.
Partial renovation in the canton of Basel-Stadt
In Basel-Stadt, most residents live in rental or condominium buildings, often old and very dense. A partial renovation then focuses on a kitchen, a bathroom or replacing floors, in coordination with the property management company and the neighbours. Buildings from the turn of the century, in the districts near the Rhine, feature cornices, parquet floors and high ceilings worth preserving. In Riehen, villas and mansions lend themselves to modernisation in stages. Limited parking and narrow streets complicate the delivery of materials, so it is best to plan ahead. As Basel's heritage is closely monitored, check with your municipality if the building is among those protected.
- Reserve a space in advance for the skip or delivery vehicle, as space is short in the streets of the centre.
- Keep the original parquet and cornices where possible; careful restoration often adds more value to the flat.

Frequently asked questions
How should I prepare for a bathroom or kitchen renovation in Basel-Stadt?
Clear the room completely and plan an alternative for cooking or washing during the work. Choose your fixtures, tiles and fittings early so that they are available on time. Agree with the company on access, working hours and how the site will be protected.
How can a partial renovation be planned in an occupied home?
Identify essential routes, sleeping areas and washing or cooking facilities that must remain usable. Ask how dust, noise and interruptions will be managed. A sequence agreed for the specific rooms is more useful than assuming a standard duration for every renovation.
What should I compare in partial renovation quotes?
Compare the same room and task list, including preparation, hidden installations and finishes. Identify removal, disposal and protection of retained areas. Ask how discoveries after opening walls or floors will be recorded and approved before extra work proceeds.
How should I prepare for the partial renovation visit or work?
Prepare photographs, available plans and a list of fixtures to keep. Make material choices with the contractor before ordering, and agree access and storage areas. Avoid dismantling existing installations before their condition and any required checks have been assessed.
