The context in the city of Geneva
Geneva, the central city of the canton, spreads out on both sides of the harbour and the Rhône, from the Old Town to the dense Pâquis, Eaux-Vives, Plainpalais, Champel and Servette districts. Residential buildings, often old, managed by property management agencies and subject to heritage rules, dominate the built fabric. Traffic, parking for machinery and use of public land shape every worksite.

Frequently asked questions
Your questions in the city of Geneva
How long does insulating an attic in the city of Geneva take?
Two to five days depending on the surface and the access. The quote describes each item, the planned duration and what is not included.
Is a permit needed to insulate in the city of Geneva?
No for interior insulation. Exterior insulation of a facade or roof changes the appearance and requires a permit under the accelerated procedure, which we prepare with you. The details of the procedures are on the website of the State of Geneva, on the applying for a building permit page.
Which insulation should you choose in the city of Geneva?
Mineral wool for attics and linings, wood fibre for roofs in renovation, polystyrene or rock wool for facades. The choice depends on the substrate and the budget.
Are there subsidies in the city of Geneva?
Yes, the canton of Geneva subsidises the insulation of roofs, facades and floors. We explain the procedures to you before the work.
