The context in Cologny
On the left-bank slope overlooking the harbour, Cologny is among the most sought-after municipalities in the canton, with its prestigious villas and large estates. The old village and the residential districts are very green, and the slope of the plots sometimes makes machinery work harder. Finishing and a discreet worksite are highly expected.
Renders and painting in Cologny
High-pressure cleaning, crack repairs, scraped or floated finishing render, mineral or siloxane paint.
The colours are approved with the municipality if necessary.
External wall insulation
Insulating panels glued and anchored, reinforcement mesh, finishing render and new window sills for an insulated facade.
The canton subsidises this insulation.
Repairs and concrete
Reworking of concrete spalls, rebar treatment, plinths and balconies.
The sheet metal work is adapted to the new thickness.

Frequently asked questions
Your questions in Cologny
How long does renovating a villa facade in Cologny take?
Three to six weeks depending on the surface and the insulation, scaffolding included. The quote describes each item, the planned duration and what is not included.
Is a permit needed to renovate a facade in Cologny?
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 useful technical elements for the file. The details of the procedures are on the website of the State of Geneva, on the applying for a building permit page.
Can a villa facade be insulated in Cologny?
Yes, with external insulation under render, a permit under the accelerated procedure and a cantonal subsidy.
