Project manager
in Challes-les-Eaux.

Atelier NovAlp designs and builds your renovation, extension and construction projects in Challes-les-Eaux: architecture, project management and general contracting under a single contract, with a commitment on price and timescale, from Aix-les-Bains.

Challes-les-Eaux, a spa town at the foot of Mont Saint-Michel

A spa town since the discovery of its sulphurous waters in 1841, and a major gliding centre thanks to its airfield, Challes-les-Eaux is also a sought-after residential suburb of Grand Chambéry, overlooked by Mont Saint-Michel. Its buildings combine characterful spa-town heritage — period villas and hotels — with more recent residential estates.

This dual character creates two types of projects for a project manager: careful renovation of the old buildings of the spa town, which requires respect and technical skill, and classic renovation and extension of detached houses, driven by the town's residential appeal.

We deliver both as project manager or as turnkey general contractor, with our own teams and a site manager on hand throughout, a few minutes from our Aix-les-Bains office.

Our work in Challes-les-Eaux

Renovation, extension, new build and energy renovation — from spa-town heritage to residential estates.

House renovation

Full or partial renovation of detached houses in Challes-les-Eaux: services upgrades, insulation, reconfigured layouts, finishes — with a single point of contact from survey to handover.

Apartment renovation

Interior remodelling, partitions, kitchen and bathroom, bringing electrics and plumbing up to standard, in old and recent buildings alike.

Extension & adding a storey

Gain space without moving: single-storey extension, adding a storey, loft conversion, in keeping with the existing building and the local plan (PLU).

New builds

Made-to-measure detached house or small apartment building, design adapted to the plot, permit application and site supervision.

RGE energy-efficiency renovation

Insulation, windows, ventilation, efficient heating. Our RGE CertiRénov certification gives access to MaPrimeRénov', CEE and the éco-PTZ loan.

Project management & general contracting

Two options: project management (you keep control of your contracts) or turnkey general contracting (a single contract, with committed price and timescale).

Renovating heritage, extending a family home

The spa villas and old houses of Challes-les-Eaux deserve work that lives up to their character: structural repairs, reconfigured layouts, insulation that respects the building, taking into account the rules on appearance set by the local plan (PLU). Our in-house design office defines the right strategy before pricing.

For more recent houses, extension and energy renovation projects dominate: gaining space, improving comfort, reducing bills. Our RGE CertiRénov certification gives access to grants (MaPrimeRénov', CEE, éco-PTZ).

Every new build or extension project is aligned with the Challes-les-Eaux local plan (PLU) and the Grand Chambéry regulations, with permit application and coordination of the trades through to handover.

Frequently asked questions · Challes-les-Eaux

Do you renovate the old spa-town buildings of Challes-les-Eaux?
Yes. The period villas and hotels of the spa town call for careful renovation that respects their character and the local plan's (PLU) rules on appearance. Our design office defines the strategy (structure, insulation, reconfigured layout) before any pricing.
Can I extend a house in Challes-les-Eaux?
Yes, in compliance with the local plan (PLU) and the Grand Chambéry regulations. We study feasibility (floor areas, footprint, integration), advise you on whether a prior declaration (déclaration préalable) or a building permit is needed, and build the extension from design to handover.
Do you work in Challes-les-Eaux from Aix-les-Bains?
Yes. Our office is in Aix-les-Bains and we regularly work in Challes-les-Eaux and the surrounding area, in Savoie. A NovAlp site manager provides continuous supervision: the distance affects neither coordination nor the quality of the work.
Do you carry out the work yourselves?
Yes. We carry out the works with our own teams (structural work, roof structure, finishing trades, bespoke kitchens), who know our standards. A single point of contact from start to finish.
Are you an architect?
Our manager is a state-qualified architect (French DEA degree), and we work as project managers and general contractors. When a project requires an architect registered with the Ordre des architectes, we bring in a registered architect.
Can you help finance an energy renovation in Challes-les-Eaux?
We are RGE CertiRénov certified (no. CR-2026-73-0095), which is a condition for accessing MaPrimeRénov', CEE (Energy Savings Certificates) and the éco-PTZ zero-interest loan. For major renovations, we put the project together with your Accompagnateur Rénov' (renovation adviser).
