Your project in the canton of Zurich
Around the Limmat and the lake, the canton of Zurich offers a great variety of buildings. In the city of Zurich, older rental buildings, condominium flats and old town buildings stand side by side in a dense setting where parking is scarce. Winterthur, the canton's second city, has a lively old town and converted industrial districts. On the lakeshores, Thalwil, Horgen and Wädenswil have many villas and houses with views, often on slopes. The Zurich Oberland, around Uster, combines residential districts and villages, while in the north, Kloten and Bülach have grown around the airport. The canton is German-speaking, but your request can be written in English. An extension or work in an old town may involve formalities, and your municipality will tell you which. Give the municipality and postcode, building access and any restrictions in an occupied home or operating business premises.
- In the city of Zurich, mention the parking options and whether there is a lift.
- For a lakeside villa on a slope, describe access to the plot and any outdoor steps.
- For a condominium building, say whether the work concerns only your own unit or the communal areas too.
Partial renovation in the canton of Zurich
The canton of Zurich has a wide variety of homes: older apartment blocks in the city, newer condominiums and family homes in the surrounding municipalities. In Zurich, flats in districts built at the beginning of the last century are often renovated in parts, with parquet floors and cornices to preserve. In Winterthur, former workers' estates and terraced houses lend themselves to kitchen and bathroom modernisation. On the left bank of the lake, villas and flats with views are often transformed after a purchase. Informing the property management company and neighbours remains essential in densely occupied buildings. If the Zurich building is listed in the heritage inventory, check with your municipality.
- In a Zurich building, ask the property management company for the permitted working hours and inform the neighbours with a posted notice.
- For a terraced house in Winterthur, check the party walls with your neighbour before any interior demolition.

Frequently asked questions
How should I prepare for a bathroom or kitchen renovation in Zurich?
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.
