Project manager & renovation in Mouxy.

Mouxy is terraced across the hillsides immediately east of Aix-les-Bains, at the foot of the Revard massif, in the Grand Lac conurbation. Between the old village, its hamlets and its residential neighbourhoods, the commune has remained residential and green while enjoying direct proximity to Aix town centre, the station and the thermal baths. Many plots enjoy a west-facing aspect with views of Lac du Bourget and the Dent du Chat — a rare asset that explains the area's lasting appeal to families.

The building stock tells this story: old farmhouses and village houses in the heart of the village, 1970s to 1990s houses in housing estates, more recent villas on the heights. Many of these homes are now reaching the age for major works: full renovation, energy upgrades, reconfiguring spaces, extensions or adding a storey to house a growing family — without giving up a plot you would never find anywhere else. The few plots still available call for new builds that sit well on the slope.

This is where geography works in your favour: our office is at 198 Avenue du Grand Port in Aix-les-Bains, just five minutes' drive from Mouxy. Being this close makes all the difference on a project — very frequent visits, immediate response if anything unexpected comes up, meetings that are easy to schedule, local trades who already know the area. Few project managers can follow your works this closely.

House renovation is the most common request in Mouxy. On 1970s to 1990s houses, everything often happens at once: opening the kitchen onto the living room, creating large windows facing the lake, redoing the electrics and plumbing, insulating walls and roof, replacing an ageing heating system with an efficient solution. We design these projects as a whole — plans, budget, permits — then carry out the works with our own teams, through to handover.

Extensions and adding a storey are particularly worthwhile in the commune: sloping plots offer possibilities for extending downhill or at lower-ground level, and one extra floor is sometimes enough to open up a clear view of Lac du Bourget. We study the existing structure, check the height and footprint rules applicable to your zone, then design a volume that naturally extends the house — timber frame, masonry or a mix depending on the context. For characterful properties in the old village, we take particular care over integration.

Finally, energy renovation and new builds complete our activity in Mouxy. External wall insulation, windows and doors, ventilation, heat pump: as an RGE-certified company, we design coherent packages of works that are eligible for financial aid. And for a new-build project on one of the last building plots, we take on the full commission, from site plan to the final brushstroke.

Renovating or extending a house usually involves an architect, an engineering firm, a project manager and a dozen trades — all of whom you have to get talking to each other. Atelier NovAlp brings these three professions together in-house: architect, project manager and RGE-certified general contractor. For your project in Mouxy, this means a single turnkey point of contact, responsible for design, budget, schedule and execution, from the first sketch to handing over the keys. The grey areas between parties — where delays, cost overruns and defects arise — disappear.

On the regulatory side, Mouxy is part of the Grand Lac conurbation and its planning document closely regulates the hillsides: heights, footprint, appearance of facades and roofs, management of slopes and access, sectors close to farmland or woodland. Before drawing, we always check the regulations for the zone concerned, then put together the application — prior declaration (déclaration préalable) or building permit — for a compliant submission first time at Mouxy town hall.

Our RGE CertiRénov certification no. CR-2026-73-0095 (Comprehensive renovation offer, issued by Qualitel Certification) gives your project access to financial aid: MaPrimeRénov', Energy Savings Certificates (CEE), éco-PTZ and reduced VAT. We include these schemes from the pricing stage to give you your actual out-of-pocket cost, not a theoretical quote. Explore all our services or our page dedicated to Aix-les-Bains.
