Vertical & rooftop building extensions in Geneva
As a specialist in building elevations in Geneva, we execute vertical timber frame extensions: an ideal solution for creating new floor space without increasing the building’s footprint.
Timber, a lightweight, durable, and high-performance material, allows one or several storeys to be added whilst limiting the loads on the existing structure, making it a technique particularly suited for urban buildings in Geneva.
Thanks to our expertise in carpentry and tinsmithing in Geneva, we work directly on the structure and the roof. This dual competence ensures better coordination of works and efficient execution. This dual expertise enables better coordination of the work and efficient execution.
As a total contractor, we handle the complete management of the project: technical studies, adaptation of the existing roof frame, roofing works, covers, and facade and cladding. We utilise 3D BIM modelling, which integrates all the technical elements upstream and limits the risk of errors on site.
A building elevation is an ideal solution for increasing habitable areas, raising the value of your Geneva real estate, and optimising your existing building.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you add storeys to an existing building in Geneva?
Yes, timber is frequently used because it is lightweight and perfectly suited for vertical extensions.
How long does a building elevation take?
Thanks to prefabrication, on-site assembly takes 2 to 4 weeks. The complete project takes 6 to 12 months, depending on the specific project.
Can a building be vertically extended using timber?
Yes, in most cases. We implement tailored solutions to allow tenants to remain in their flats, limiting disruption and ensuring landlords continue collecting rent.
Can residents stay in the building during the works?
Yes, in most cases. Nous mettons en place des solutions adaptées pour permettre aux locataires de rester dans leur appartement, afin de limiter les désagréments et permettre au propriétaire de continuer à percevoir les loyers.
Who carries out the elevation works?
