Project manager & renovation in Poisy.

Poisy is one of the fastest-growing municipalities in Grand Annecy. Located just west of the conurbation, a few minutes from Meythet and Annecy, its population has grown sharply under sustained pressure on land: numerous recent housing estates, detached-house developments, small apartment buildings and plots still available on the edges of the villages. This momentum makes it a genuine new-build area, which is rare on Annecy's doorstep.

But Poisy also retains a strong rural and agricultural identity. The municipality is home to a well-known training centre — an agricultural college and campus, farms and cooperatives — and its area combines old hamlets, farm buildings and traditional buildings that are now being beautifully renovated. This dual character, residential and agricultural, creates two main types of demand: building new on the one hand, transforming and upgrading old buildings on the other.

In both cases, success depends on method: an accurate survey, plans, a feasibility study, submission of applications to Grand Annecy, coordination of the trades and site supervision. That is the role of the project manager: carrying your project from start to finish and saving you from juggling a dozen firms. From our office in Aix-les-Bains, around thirty minutes away, we know Poisy's built fabric and work regularly in the municipality and its neighbours (Annecy, Meythet, Épagny-Metz-Tessy, La Balme-de-Sillingy, Sillingy, Chavanod).

Detached house building remains in high demand in Poisy, where building plots are still available through densification of housing estates and plot division. We design bespoke houses suited to the slope of the plot, its orientation and your budget: building permit application, choice of materials, management of all the trades through to handing over the keys. The aim: a controlled project that complies with the local plan and is delivered without unpleasant surprises.

Renovation covers both 1980s-2000s estate houses and the farmhouses and old buildings in Poisy's hamlets. Reconfiguring spaces, opening up living areas, repairing the roof structure and roofing, insulation, services, modernising bathrooms and finishes: turning a farm building into a comfortable contemporary home is a demanding exercise, which we carry out with respect for the existing building and the planning rules.

Finally, extensions and adding a storey let you gain living space without moving: single-storey extensions, adding a floor, loft conversions, a conservatory or a new volume connected to the existing house. This work, often combined with RGE-certified energy renovation, is subject to the Grand Annecy local plan regulations — building footprint, height, minimum unsealed ground — which we check before drawing.

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, a project manager and a dozen or so tradespeople yourself: a single point of contact carries your project, from the first sketch to the handover of the keys. This turnkey approach removes the grey areas between the parties involved — which is where most delays, cost overruns and defects arise.

Depending on the nature of the project in Poisy, we adapt the arrangement: an architect's assignment for a new build or a large extension, project management for a renovation with separate trade packages, or general contracting with a commitment to results for a controlled budget. As all planning applications in Poisy are assessed under the Grand Annecy intercommunal local plan (PLUiHD), we always check the zone regulations — heights, building footprint, facade colours, rainwater management, minimum unsealed ground — before drawing, so the application complies from the first submission.

Our RGE CertiRénov no. CR-2026-73-0095 certification (Offre globale de rénovation, issued by Qualitel Certification) also gives you access to grant schemes: MaPrimeRénov', Energy Saving Certificates (CEE) and local grants. We calculate the real amount left for you to pay and build these subsidies into your project's financing plan. Discover all our services or our page dedicated to Annecy.
