Project manager & renovation in Grésy-sur-Aix.

Grésy-sur-Aix is the immediate neighbour of Aix-les-Bains, to the north of the spa town. A member of the Grand Lac conurbation, the municipality has kept a character all of its own: an old village clustered around its church, the Grésy waterfall and the Sierroz gorges that made it famous as early as the 19^th century, hillsides facing Le Montcel and the Revard range, and, further down, the Les Combaruches business park, which makes it an economic hub in its own right. Served by the D1201 and the motorway junction, a few minutes from Lac du Bourget, it attracts new families every year.

This appeal shows in the buildings. Around the village, old Savoyard farmhouses and village houses are waiting for a second life; in the housing estates developed from the 1970s to 2000s, many houses deserve an energy upgrade and a reorganisation of their layout; and on the last available plots, residential areas continue to grow with new builds. Full renovation, an extension for a growing family, adding a storey, a new build: each project requires precise surveys, plans, a solid planning application and rigorous coordination of the trades.

That is exactly the role of the project manager: to carry your project from start to finish, protect your budget and schedule, and save you from juggling ten firms. Our office is at 198 Avenue du Grand Port in Aix-les-Bains, five minutes from Grésy-sur-Aix — we are very likely the closest project manager to your home. This proximity makes all the difference day to day: frequent site visits, immediate responsiveness when something unexpected happens and in-depth knowledge of the tradespeople in the Aix-les-Bains area.

House renovation is the most common request in Grésy-sur-Aix. In the old village, farmhouses and old houses raise specific issues: stone walls that need to breathe, timber floors to be repaired, damp management, creating openings in thick façades. In the housing estates, houses from the 1970s to 1990s call instead for a comprehensive renovation: insulation, replacement of the heating system, opening the kitchen onto the living room, modernisation of bathrooms and windows. In both cases, we design the project, submit the applications and manage the works through to handover.

Extensions and adding a storey come a close second: in Grésy-sur-Aix, many families prefer to extend their house rather than leave the municipality, where land is becoming scarce. Masonry or timber-frame extension, partial added storey, converting a garage or loft into living space: we study the potential of your plot in light of the PLU, design a volume that works with the existing building and submit the prior declaration (déclaration préalable) or building permit.

Finally, new builds remain relevant on the last plots in the residential areas, and energy renovation is becoming essential for energy-hungry houses. Wall and roof insulation, heat pump, high-performance windows, ventilation: as an RGE-certified company, we design coherent packages of works eligible for public grants, and we carry them out in full.

Atelier NovAlp's strength is bringing three professions together under one roof: architect, project manager and RGE-certified general contractor. In practice, you no longer coordinate a designer, an engineering office and a dozen tradespeople yourself: a single point of contact carries your project in Grésy-sur-Aix, from the first sketch to the handing over of the keys. This turnkey approach removes the grey areas between parties — where most delays, cost overruns and defects arise.

On the planning side, Grésy-sur-Aix applies its own PLU, and the municipality relies on the departments of the Grand Lac conurbation to review applications. Old village and church surroundings, the sensitive area of the waterfall and the banks of the Sierroz, residential areas, the fringes of Les Combaruches business park: rules on height, footprint, façade appearance and setback vary from one zone to another. We always check the zone regulations before drawing, for an application that is compliant from the first submission.

Our RGE CertiRénov certification no. CR-2026-73-0095 (comprehensive renovation offer, issued by Qualitel Certification) gives you access to grant schemes: MaPrimeRénov', Energy Savings Certificates (CEE) and any local grants. We calculate the real net cost to you and build these subsidies into your project's financing plan. Discover all our services or our page dedicated to Aix-les-Bains.
