Renovations, heritage and volumes

For renovation projects in Volketswil, RegBL figures provide essential benchmarks for planning. With a median building volume of 1255 m3 based on the SIA 416 standard, you can effectively gauge the scale of necessary heating or insulation upgrades. Please be aware that data coverage is partial, as this volume is specifically measured for only 19 out of 1523 houses. These metrics serve as a valuable foundation to help estimate renovation costs and project requirements. Use this data early in your preparation to better align your expectations with local building characteristics and ensure a more accurate budget for your property.

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.
