Frequently asked questions

Questions about costs & process

How much does a house renovation cost per square metre?

That depends heavily on the scope: a bathroom renovation, a gut renovation and an extension differ considerably. Our calculator gives you a first ballpark figure. You get a reliable figure after the site visit and with concrete quotes.

Do I need a building permit for my renovation?

As soon as you change the building envelope, the structure or the use, a permit is usually required. The rules differ from municipality to municipality. We clarify this during the consultation and prepare the permit application for you.

How long does a renovation take?

A bathroom is often finished within a few weeks. Gut renovations such as those in Männedorf or Wollishofen took eight to nine months. You can see the schedule at any time in the renovation cockpit.

How do I keep costs under control?

You receive comparable quotes, award contracts only after your approval and see the budget and invoices in the app at all times. Deviations become visible early.

What does advice from umbaumanager.ch cost?

Advice by phone from our architects is free, as is obtaining quotes. The platform is also free for homeowners; it is financed by fees from tradespeople and suppliers. We quote planning and construction management either as a fixed fee or on a time basis, depending on the project.
