The factors that determine the cost of a terrace in Switzerland

The price for creating a terrace in Switzerland depends on a multitude of parameters. From the type of material chosen to the total size of the space, as well as the condition of the ground or the price of accessories and additional elements, many criteria influence the final budget of your outdoor layout in Switzerland.

Cost of the main types of terraces in Switzerland

For the construction or renovation of your terrace in Switzerland, here are several price ranges depending on the style of layout and the materials used in your Swiss project.

In Switzerland, a wooden terrace has a price ranging from 90 CHF to 210 CHF/m². With installation performed by a specialist, the overall budget generally varies between 60 CHF and 120 CHF/m².
Depending on the exposure and climatic conditions in Switzerland, a wooden terrace can offer a lifespan of over 15 years.

The cost of a composite terrace in Switzerland ranges from 110 CHF to 240 CHF/m², installation included. Without labor, prices typically range between 50 CHF and 170 CHF/m².
Composite, made of wood fibers (15% to 70%) and polymer resins (PVC, polypropylene or polyethylene), is widely used in Switzerland for its resistance to moisture.

Three categories of composite boards are available for Swiss terraces:

  • solid boards
  • semi-solid boards
  • hollow boards

The cost of a concrete terrace in Switzerland generally ranges between 60 CHF and 170 CHF/m².
Among the possible constructions in Switzerland, we distinguish:

  • wash concrete
  • stamped concrete
  • polished concrete

Wash concrete is often more expensive, but it provides a complete finish, unlike raw concrete which requires additional treatment.

The price of a tiled terrace in Switzerland varies between 60 CHF and 155 CHF/m².
It is important to budget for the preparation of the base, essential to ensure good adhesion and optimal longevity in the Swiss climate.
In Switzerland, tiling remains one of the most appreciated coverings for outdoor arrangements.

The price of a slab terrace in Switzerland ranges from 45 CHF to 115 CHF/m², installation included. Without installation, the range is rather between 15 CHF and 75 CHF/m².
Slabs can be made from various materials commonly used in Switzerland:

  • natural stone
  • reconstituted stone
  • concrete
  • composite

In Switzerland, a paving terrace generally costs between 30 CHF and 140 CHF/m², labor included.
Without professional intervention, the price varies from 10 CHF to 100 CHF/m².
The pavers used in Switzerland are most often made of natural stone or concrete, and available in various formats from Avenir Rénovations specialists.
