Renovations, heritage and volumes

For your renovation plans in Buchs (SG), the RegBL figures provide essential benchmarks despite partial data coverage. With 22 buildings under heritage protection out of 107 recorded, you must contact the municipality early to clarify permit requirements. Regarding building volume, only one house has been measured at 216 m3 according to the SIA 416 standard, while 1487 buildings do not follow this measure. Given the limited data on volume, it is crucial to conduct a specific assessment of your property to accurately plan the scale of your insulation and heating upgrades for a successful renovation project.

Tips before you start

  • The base (concrete slab, pedestals, gravel bed) matters as much as the covering.
  • In frosty areas, choose frost-resistant pavers and tiles.
  • A covered or raised terrace may need a municipal permit.
