What renovation work to plan for a house in Basel?

During the visit to your future home, you assess the architecture and the extent of the work room by room. For a house renovation in Basel, our building professional adjusts the work to the actual condition of the structure. They range from a simple room to the structure and the envelope.

A targeted refresh, for a room or a living space

A room with aged finishes is often renovated without touching the networks or the structure of the building. This refresh concerns, for example, a kitchen to modernize or a living room whose floors and walls need to be redone. Our craftsmen work on a defined space, and the rest of the rooms in the house remain livable. Our Project Manager checks the electrical installation beforehand, as a NIBT compliance may be required.

A complete renovation of the interior, including kitchen and bathroom

You are moving into a house that has remained in its original state, with a layout that no longer suits your family life. The complete renovation of the interior then involves all the rooms of the house: kitchen, bathroom, floors, walls, and ceilings.

This type of project involves the mason, electrician, plumber, and plasterer-painter, in a specific order. At Avenir Renovations Basel, we plan their succession so that each trade finds a support ready to receive its work. The embedded networks are installed before the finishes, which avoids reopening a wall that has already been painted.

A heavy renovation, from the structure to the building envelope

Before undertaking a heavy renovation, plan a complete study of the architecture of the building, as this project affects the elements that support and protect the house. Our building professional assesses the structure and insulation before estimating the project. For a weakened structure, the opinion of an engineer is necessary. The interventions of our craftsmen cover in particular:

  • the repair of load-bearing walls and the framework,
  • the renovation of the facade, roof, and terrace,
  • thermal insulation and replacement of windows,
  • the replacement of heating, for example with a heat pump.

These energy-related items may qualify for the Buildings Program, whose file must be approved before ordering the work.

The steps of a renovation site in the canton of Basel-City

The steps of a renovation site in the canton of Basel-City

In Basel-City, transforming or expanding a house requires a building permit. A minor project may fall under a notification procedure, submitted at least two weeks before the start of work. Our renovation company in Basel determines the applicable procedure before setting the schedule for your site.

Avenir Renovations Switzerland, a project managed until its final result in the canton of Basel-City

Coordinating multiple craftsmen alone requires time and a good knowledge of cantonal regulations. The slightest delay from one trade then shifts all subsequent interventions. At Avenir Renovations, we take care of this management for your house in the canton of Basel-City, from the site to the final inspection.

Without a manager, you sign a contract for each trade and you arbitrate the disagreements between craftsmen yourself. With a single point of contact, one contract governs the project and one person is responsible for its organization. Our building professional brings all stakeholders together around the same schedule and ensures that the project's architecture remains coherent. A question about a connection or a choice of material finds its answer with the same person. You maintain control over crucial choices without managing daily exchanges between trades.

On a renovation site, many defects arise at the junction between two trades when a work is covered too early. Our Works Manager checks each step before launching the next one, from the initial study to the acceptance. His verifications focus on embedded networks and insulation before the partitions are closed.

You also have, with Avenir Renovations, an online client space managed by your agency to track the progress of your project. Your quotes and project documents are accessible at any time. You communicate with your contact without waiting for an on-site visit, even when you are living elsewhere during the work.

The cost of a house renovation in Basel

The cost of your renovation project is calculated on a case-by-case basis, based on a quote established after visiting your house. Two houses of comparable size can lead to very different budgets. Our building professional justifies each line of this estimate during its presentation.

Several elements can vary this quote: the area to be treated, the extent of the work, the condition of the existing structure, and the choice of materials. In Basel-City, a building permit or a grant application can also impact the project's timeline. At Avenir Renovations, we estimate each item separately so you can arbitrate between your priorities.

How to limit the nuisances of a home renovation site for the neighborhood in Basel?

A well-prepared site limits noise and dust around your house and garden. Our construction professional schedules noisy interventions, such as demolition or drilling, during time slots announced to the neighbors. Work areas are enclosed with tarps on the site, and access remains clear for residents. Deliveries of materials are planned to avoid blocking the street during peak hours. In the urban site protection zone, work affecting facades, windows, doors, or roofs follows specific rules, even for limited interventions. A notice or authorization may then be required, which our renovation company verifies before starting.

With Avenir Renovations, your home renovation in Basel is managed by a full-service company: contact our agency to request your quote.
