Why choose Avenir Renovations?
What work should be planned for a kitchen in Basel?
Your closed kitchen retains its original furniture and lighting that strains the eyes. A kitchen renovation in Basel involves three categories of work: the layout, the equipment, and then the coverings with their connections. Our Project Manager defines with you what needs to change.
How to address the furniture and countertops?
Before choosing a facade color, observe your habits: the number of people cooking and the appliances permanently placed on the countertop. Our Project Manager translates these uses into layout, with deep drawers where low cabinets require bending down. This analysis guides the choice of a custom fitted kitchen or a light renovation.
The countertop is chosen primarily for its use, based on its heat resistance and ease of maintenance. Our craftsmen install furniture, windows, and countertops in the same project. The page dedicated to kitchen renovation presents the ranges installed, from light renovation to custom creation.
Should the appliances and lighting be reviewed?
Keeping an old oven or an energy-consuming refrigerator in new interior furniture often requires revisiting the niches later when the technical device breaks down. Our Project Manager therefore lists your appliances from the study and plans the dimensions of the built-in models. With Avenir Renovations Basel, four technical aspects are examined before ordering the furniture:
- the built-in appliances, chosen for their consumption,
- the LED lighting integrated under the upper cabinets,
- the hood and its ventilation,
- the location of electrical outlets.
These choices set the electrical networks to be planned before the installation of the furniture.
What about the floors, tiles, and connections?
Should the floor be changed if the furniture changes location? Yes, in most cases, because the old covering does not always cover the new layout. The tiles and the backsplash are chosen with the countertop and wall insulation, to protect the wall behind the sink and the cooktop. The sanitary and electrical connections are then addressed: in Switzerland, only a company holding a federal authorization can modify a fixed electrical installation. Our Project Manager also coordinates the sanitary installer for the water supply and drainage.
The steps of a renovation project in the canton of Basel-City
Each quote request receives a response within 24 to 48 hours at Avenir Renovations, after which the team follows up on the project in three stages. Documents mark the progress of the site, from the quote and plans at the start to the final acceptance. Our Project Manager remains your contact until the end.
Avenir Renovations, close support for the realities of the canton of Basel-City
Putting together a grant application alone and comparing incomplete estimates takes time, with the risk of starting work before submitting a request. At Avenir Renovations Basel, our agency takes care of both subjects for you. Our Project Manager handles the administrative file and the estimate.
The canton of Basel-City manages about four distinct energy aid programs, useful for insulating or renovating an apartment or a house. They cover the building envelope, heating replacement, heat pumps, and solar energy. These programs aim at the energy performance of the building, not the layout of a kitchen. With Avenir Renovations, our Project Manager checks the grants that may relate to your overall project, including the Building Program and cantonal and municipal subsidies. He submits the applications before the start of the work, without being able to guarantee their approval.
You send a request one evening after measuring your kitchen, and you wait for a response to move forward. At Avenir Renovations Basel, our agency will call you back within 48 hours to clarify the project. The estimate remains 100% free, even when a site visit is necessary to take measurements.
This estimate is tailored: it includes your choices of furniture and appliances, any insulation, and the extent of network modifications. The prices from our renovation company in Basel include the technical study, supply of materials, installation, and adjustments. You thus have a complete document instead of several separate estimates from different craftsmen.
What budget for kitchen renovation in Basel?
The cost of a kitchen project is calculated per square meter and then adjusted based on the level of finish and the necessary technical work. Our Project Manager prepares this estimate after analyzing your needs, based on a public pricing grid per square meter.
Several factors affect the estimate: surface area, quality level, extent of network modifications, and constraints of the condominium building. A central island layout or opening to the living area also changes the positioning of the networks. For a specific case, such as a protected building or an atypical kitchen shape, the opinion of a professional on-site is necessary before any final estimate.
With Avenir Renovations, we provide a free estimate for your kitchen renovation in Basel as soon as we receive your request. The estimate details each item, from demolition to finishing, and you can find it in your online client area.

Can an open kitchen be integrated during a renovation in Basel?
Yes, an open kitchen connected to the living room can be integrated into most renovations, provided that the wall to be removed is first checked. If it contains a vertical column or a shared duct, this element remains a common part of the condominium, even within your unit. Modifying it then requires the consent of the condominium.
Connecting the hood to a shared ventilation duct follows the same logic. A protected building in Basel, especially in the Altstadt, is subject to an additional rule. Any modification to the substance or appearance of the apartment may require written approval from the cantonal heritage conservation service. Our Project Manager checks these points before the design and incorporates the approval timelines into the schedule.
