How we work in Winterthur.

For us, Winterthur is apartment-building territory: the job is usually a vacant flat or a bathroom, not a one-off repair. So here we plan backwards — from the handover date you have already promised the new tenants, back to the day the keys come to us. Painting, flooring and plumbing run in parallel rather than one after another, and the journey of about half an hour is listed in the quote as a separate, fixed item — no surprises on the invoice.

Building permit in Winterthur.

In Winterthur, the city's building permits office (Amt für Baubewilligungen, Pionierstrasse 7) is responsible. Under § 1 of the cantonal Building Procedures Ordinance (Bauverfahrensverordnung, BVV), bathroom, laundry and toilet installations as well as water and electrical connections that are not visible from outside normally need no building permit in the building zone — nor does removing interior partition walls between living rooms. Changes of use and structural changes beyond that, for example to the facade or load-bearing walls, do require a permit (§ 309 PBG). We clarify your case before work starts and confirm the outcome in writing.

Is a single bathroom in Winterthur worthwhile?

Yes, but the travel works out better when we combine several properties. For a property manager with several buildings in Winterthur, we therefore schedule the appointments together.

Will you also come for a site visit before the quote?

Yes. If a survey on site is needed for your quote, we arrange an appointment and confirm the terms in advance. The consultation with our project manager is free of charge.
