Renovations, heritage and volumes

For your renovation projects in Solothurn, the federal building register (RegBL) indicates that 3 buildings are listed under heritage protection, requiring early coordination with the municipality for permit applications. The building volume data covers 1517 houses with a median volume of 462 m3 according to the SIA 416 standard, which is essential for scaling your heating and insulation upgrades.
