Renovations, heritage and volumes

For renovation projects in Uster, RegBL data provides useful benchmarks for planning. With a median building volume of 640 m3, homeowners can better estimate the scale of heating or insulation upgrades. Note that data coverage is partial, as only 40 out of 2948 buildings are measured according to SIA 416 standards. Regarding heritage protection, no protected buildings are recorded among the 376 known entries, though the overall coverage remains limited. We advise you to contact the municipality early to confirm your property status and specific regulatory requirements before finalizing your renovation plans or submitting any permit applications.

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.
  • At altitude, snow loads and frost influence material choice.
