Renovations, heritage and volumes

For renovation projects in Kriens, official building register data provides essential insights for homeowners. With 785 out of 817 identified buildings listed under heritage protection, it is crucial to contact the municipality early to clarify permit requirements before starting work. Regarding building volume, the median is 1116 cubic meters; however, this figure is based on only 10 measured buildings, indicating partial data coverage. This information helps gauge the scale of your renovation, particularly for heating and insulation upgrades, allowing for more accurate cost planning despite the limited scope of the current statistical volume data.

Tips before you start

  • Insulating the roof together with the covering is often eligible for the Buildings Programme.
  • Existing solar panels must be removed and refitted: budget for it.
