Frequently asked questions
Your questions in Soral
How long does installing a villa roof structure in Soral take?
One to two weeks of installation after preparation in the workshop. The quote describes each item, the planned duration and what is not included.
Is a permit needed for roof structure work in Soral?
Often yes. Changing the appearance of a facade or a roof, creating an opening or building an annex generally requires a building permit in Geneva, under the accelerated procedure for small works. Like-for-like maintenance does not require one. We tell you the procedure and prepare the technical elements of the file. The details of the procedures are on the website of the State of Geneva, on the applying for a building permit page.
How can you tell whether your roof structure needs attention in Soral?
Fine sawdust, small holes, timber that gives way under the tip of a knife or a visible bend in the purlins are signs to look at. We examine the roof structure during the visit.
Can the attic be converted in Soral?
Often yes, by reinforcing the tie beams or modifying the trusses, with the engineer’s calculation and roof insulation.
