Why choose a glued brick extension?
Opting for a glued brick extension combines aesthetics, performance, and practicality. This modern solution is appealing for its natural appearance, energy efficiency, quick installation, and great durability with minimal maintenance.
Carefully designed aesthetics that harmonize with existing structures
Glued bricks offer a finish similar to plaster or stone, with a modern touch. They integrate perfectly with the existing architecture for an elegant and durable look.
Effective thermal and acoustic insulation, with a good price/performance ratio
The structure supports high-performance insulation that significantly reduces energy loss. This system also ensures good acoustic insulation, providing comfort and savings at a controlled cost.
Quick implementation, thanks to gluing and lightweight blocks
The gluing simplifies installation, reducing the duration of the project and limiting disturbances. The lightweight materials protect your interior while significantly speeding up construction.
Durability and low maintenance
The facade withstands the test of time without requiring frequent maintenance. No regular repointing is necessary, ensuring a sustainable and economical solution in terms of upkeep.

How much do elevation or extension works with glued brick cost in French-speaking Switzerland?
| Type of project | Average indicative cost (CHF/m²) |
| Side extension (single-storey) | 1,800 to 3,200 CHF/m² |
| Elevation (adding a floor) | 2,000 to 4,500 CHF/m² |
For a side extension, the typical cost is between 1,800 and 3,200 CHF/m², less expensive than elevation because the work mainly affects the land, foundations, and masonry.
For an elevation, expect 2,000 to 4,500 CHF/m², due to structural complexity, roof removal, intervention on the framework, and energy standards to be met.
These costs generally include:
- glued brick masonry and insulation,
- joinery, finishes, plumbing, electricity,
- administrative procedures and the architect,
- overall site coordination.
In some high-end projects, or in cantonal areas with very strict urban standards, these costs may slightly exceed the indicative ranges. That is why we always offer a personalized quote.
Regulations and procedures in French-speaking Switzerland
- Any lateral extension or elevation is subject to authorization: depending on the cantons, this may involve a prior declaration or a building permit. The difference depends on the added surface area and the impact on the existing structure.
- The use of an architect is often mandatory for areas exceeding 150 m² of living space; some cantons have their own thresholds.
- Swiss insulation standards (often equivalent to Minergie) must be respected in walls, roofing, joinery, and ventilation.
- The file must also check the footprint on the land, the maximum height allowed, and the accepted materials (especially in protected or heritage areas).
Avenir Rénovations handles the preparation of the file, communication with the authorities, and coordination with the technical office or architect.
FAQ – Brick extension in French-speaking Switzerland
Can we live in the house during the work?
Yes, in most cases. The lateral extension is largely carried out from the outside; only a few interior connections are needed. In the case of elevation, the site is mostly external after the roof is removed. Avenir Rénovations organizes interventions to minimize disturbances.
What is the typical timeframe to finalize an extension of 30 to 50 m²?
The average timeframe is 2 to 4 months, depending on the complexity of the site, the type of extension, the permits, and the chosen finishes.
Can high-performance insulation be integrated into the glued brick?
Yes, the technique allows for the integration of PARFACTION insulation that complies with Swiss thermal standards. Thermal regulation is optimized thanks to the wall structure and controlled ventilation.
Does the cost per m² include the architect and administrative procedures?
Yes, our estimates generally include architect fees (10-15% of the total cost) and file/permit fees, except in specific exceptional cases for a canton.
What happens in a protected or classified area?
We adapt materials and finishes to comply with municipal regulations (colors, shades, volumes). The glued brick can often harmonize with older buildings due to its aesthetic qualities.
