Renovations, heritage and volumes

For your renovation projects in St. Gallen, the RegBL data provides essential guidance. With 122 protected heritage buildings out of 147 known, contacting the municipality early is vital for securing building permits. Data regarding house volume is partial, covering only 3 buildings measured under the SIA 416 standard with a median of 805 m3; this metric helps scale your insulation or heating works. Please note that the renovation year is not recorded for any of the 8987 buildings listed in this register, meaning this specific information is currently unavailable for your strategic planning.

Tips before you start

  • Count your windows by size (small, standard, French doors, bays) for a fairer price.
  • Windows alone are rarely subsidised: grants usually target a full envelope renovation.
  • In protected areas or visible facades, frame shape and colour may be imposed.
