Heatwave and energy renovation in Switzerland: new opportunities for entrepreneurs
The increasing frequency of heatwaves in Switzerland presents the construction sector with a new and unavoidable reality. The heatwaves, which are becoming more intense and frequent, reveal the structural limits of our real estate portfolio.  

For building professionals, this climate challenge is not just a technical constraint but an unprecedented growth driver. By joining a structured network like Avenir Rénovations, contractors can capitalize on this transition to build sustainable and highly profitable businesses. 

A real estate sector in search of thermal resilience 

The Swiss real estate portfolio, composed largely of buildings predating modern energy standards, is structurally vulnerable to extreme temperatures. Historically designed to retain heat in winter, these buildings too often turn into uncomfortable heat islands during summer periods. 

This situation creates massive and immediate demand from property owners. Beyond mere comfort, the stakes have become both heritage and ecological: 

  • The end of thermal sieves: Property owners are now looking to insulate their facades and roofs not only to reduce their heating bills but also to protect their interiors from summer heat spikes. 
  • Property value enhancement: In a demanding Swiss real estate market, an energy-efficient building is an asset whose value withstands crises better. 
  • Energy independence: The installation of heat pumps, combined with enhanced insulation, allows residents to free themselves from fossil fuels and gain autonomy in the face of energy price volatility. 
 

Avenir Rénovations: The competitive advantage of "all trades" 

For the contractor, addressing this technical complexity alone can be perilous. The Avenir Rénovations franchise model has been designed to structure this offering and provide a professional, comprehensive, and reassuring response to the needs of Swiss clients. 

Today's client no longer wants to juggle multiple stakeholders. They expect a single point of contact capable of taking responsibility for a project from A to Z. The Avenir Rénovations franchisee, with their "all trades" offering, coordinates all the necessary expertise: from initial energy audit to project completion. This ability to deliver a turnkey project is a major competitive advantage that allows capturing the most significant and lucrative contracts. 

A technological power serving profitability 

The renovation business requires extreme precision in estimating and monitoring. The Avenir Rénovations network equips its franchisees with exclusive digital tools: 

  • Devibox: This management tool allows for precise and rapid estimation, thus limiting the risk of errors on margins, a critical point in project management. 
  • CapRénov+: This energy assessment tool enables the franchisee to position themselves as a true advisor to their clients by simulating the actual savings generated by the work. This consultative approach is a powerful sales lever that establishes an immediate trust relationship. 
 

Security and support: the framework for success 

One of the main barriers to entrepreneurship in construction is the fear of the unexpected (disasters, delays, legal disputes). Avenir Rénovations offers a protective framework: 

  • Legal and administrative support: Navigating the maze of Swiss cantonal subsidies can be complex. The network provides expertise that helps the franchisee assemble complete files, thus facilitating the client's purchasing decision. 
  • Exclusive ten-year insurance: By offering a robust guarantee, the franchisee reassures their clients and secures their business in the long term. 
  • Generation of qualified leads: Thanks to an optimized national digital strategy, franchisees benefit from a regular flow of requests, allowing them to build a solid order book from the start of their activity. 
  • The Serenity Pack: A true sales argument, this device offers your clients total transparency on deadline compliance and the quality of finishes. By providing this peace of mind, you remove barriers to signing while enhancing your professionalism.
