Renovations, heritage and volumes

For your renovation projects in Marly, official RegBL data provides vital insights. With 17 buildings under heritage protection, contacting the municipality early is essential to secure necessary permits. As renovation year records are unavailable, focus your planning on the building volume, which shows a median of 919 m3 for 9 homes measured via the SIA 416 standard. Please note that data coverage for volume is partial. Despite this, understanding your home's scale is a critical step in accurately estimating the scope of heating and insulation work required for your upcoming renovation project.
