Project manager & renovation in Meythet.

Meythet occupies a strategic position: it forms one of the north-western gateways to the Annecy conurbation, between the heart of Annecy, Cran-Gevrier and the Fins plain. Formerly an independent commune, it became a delegated commune of Annecy in 2017 when the new merged commune was created. Its urban fabric is typical of the inner suburbs: large residential neighbourhoods built between the 1960s and 1990s, small apartment buildings, and the proximity of Annecy — Mont-Blanc airport (Meythet airfield) as well as several business parks.

This identity as a residential and active commune makes Meythet a particularly dynamic renovation market. Its stock of 1960s to 1980s houses has reached an age where insulation, heating and interior layout need a complete upgrade. Families are looking to extend: on often tight plots, adding a storey and loft conversions are becoming the preferred way to gain bedrooms without sacrificing the garden. Small apartment buildings, for their part, are starting their first energy renovations.

Every project requires method: an accurate survey of the existing building, plans, filing applications with Grand Annecy, consultation and coordination of the trades, rigorous site supervision. That is the role of the project manager: carrying your project from start to finish, protecting your budget and schedule. From our office in Aix-les-Bains, around thirty minutes away, we work regularly in Meythet and its immediate neighbours (central Annecy, Cran-Gevrier, Épagny-Metz-Tessy, Poisy).

House renovation is the leading request in Meythet. In houses from the 1960s to 1980s, the upgrade is often comprehensive: opening up living areas to create large living rooms, new wall and loft insulation, replacing heating systems and windows, updating kitchens and bathrooms. We design these projects to measure, making the most of the orientation and potential of each property, and manage all the trades through to handover.

Adding a storey is very well suited to land in Meythet, where plots are often narrow. Adding a floor or turning an unused loft into living space creates bedrooms, a study or a master suite without reducing the garden or parking. This type of work requires a study of the load-bearing structure and a careful check of height rules: we carry out these analyses upfront to confirm feasibility before any permit application.

An extension — single-storey, two-storey or a masonry conservatory — completes the house where the plot allows: a larger living room, open-plan kitchen, an extra room. Finally, the energy renovation of houses and small apartment buildings alike is becoming a central issue: insulation, high-performance heating, ventilation. As an RGE-certified company, we put together these applications and manage these projects to the highest standards.

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 have to coordinate an architect, an engineering firm and a dozen trades yourself: a single point of contact carries your project from the first sketch to handing over the keys. This turnkey approach removes the grey areas between the parties involved — where most delays, cost overruns and defects arise.

Depending on the nature of the project, we adapt the set-up: an architect's commission for a new build or a large extension, project management for a renovation with separate trade contracts, or general contracting with a performance commitment for a controlled budget. As all planning applications in Meythet are processed by Grand Annecy's services under the intermunicipal local plan (PLUiHD), we always check the zone regulations — heights, footprint, setbacks, parking, facade colours, airfield easements — before drawing, so that the application complies from the first submission.

Our RGE CertiRénov certification no. CR-2026-73-0095 (Comprehensive renovation offer, issued by Qualitel Certification) gives you access to financial aid schemes: MaPrimeRénov', Energy Savings Certificates (CEE) and local grants. We calculate your actual out-of-pocket cost and build these grants into the financing plan for your renovation. Explore all our services or our page dedicated to Annecy.
