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.
Renders and painting in the city of Geneva
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.

Your questions in the city of Geneva

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.

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 the city of Geneva?
