Renovations, heritage and volumes
For your renovation plans in Granges-Paccot, official RegBL figures provide essential reference points. Data coverage is currently partial; heritage protection status is known for only 10 out of 437 buildings. Regarding building volume, only 5 of 218 houses are measured according to SIA 416, showing a median volume of 900 m3. Given that these official figures are limited in scope, we strongly advise you to contact your local municipality early in the process. This ensures you confirm all necessary planning requirements and scale your energy insulation upgrades accurately before finalizing your renovation budget and project scope.
