We carry out high-end kitchen renovations, carried out directly with our customers or in collaboration with their architect. Each project is structured from the outset by rigorous planning and experienced construction management, in order to guarantee a fluid, technically mastered execution that is faithful to the initial vision.
The complexity of a kitchen renovation
A kitchen renovation involves interlocking technical decisions, structural and regulatory constraints, precise coordination of networks and reduced tolerances at each stage. Without structured planning and expert execution management, the risk of errors, delays and quality compromises increases rapidly.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
If you can't find the answer to your question in our FAQs, please feel free to contact us directly.
How long does a typical kitchen renovation in Geneva and Vaud take?
Most of the kitchen renovations we manage take 4-10 weeks from demolition to installation, depending on the scope of work and material procurement times. If your kitchen renovation involves replacing cabinets, changing the countertop, and upgrading appliances, it can be completed in 3 to 5 weeks. We present you with a realistic timeline before the work begins, so you know exactly what to expect.
Do I need permits or authorizations for my kitchen renovation in Geneva or Vaud?
If you are modifying plumbing, electrical, ventilation or removing walls, local permits and building permits are usually required. We work with architects and take care of the administrative formalities to ensure that your project complies with the building codes of Geneva and Vaud and the standards of the SIA.
Can you help me choose the materials and appliances that suit both my design and my budget?
Yes. We partner with trusted suppliers for cabinets, countertops, lighting, and appliances in a range of price points. Our design-build approach ensures that selections align with your investment style, timeline, and goals.
What are the factors that influence the overall cost of renovating a kitchen?
The main cost drivers are the magnitude of structural changes (such as moving walls or utilities), the choice of finishes and fixtures, and the size and complexity of the space. We provide transparent estimates early in the process so you can plan with confidence.
Can I live in my home during the renovation work?
In many cases, yes, but there will be temporary disruptions to water, electricity and cooking facilities. In the case of major renovations, we can recommend arranging alternative access to the kitchen to minimize stress and stay on schedule.
How do you make sure my project is on schedule and on budget?
Our pre-construction planning process aligns design, scope, and budget before demolition begins. Our budget planning is accurate thanks to our expertise that allows us to know what to take into account, including a percentage of unforeseen events, and most importantly thanks to our experience in the field.
A dedicated project manager coordinates all trades and provides you with regular updates. You will also have access to our project management platform that will inform you in real-time of updates or complications.
Our experience and expertise in trades management, communication system, and pre-construction planning all contribute to our accuracy and ability to stay on time and on budget.

Yes. We operate as an approved and insured renovation company in Geneva and Vaud. All work is covered by a minimum 2-year warranty, and many materials and appliances come with their own manufacturer's warranty. We guarantee the quality and durability of each project.
