Project manager & renovation in Pringy.

Pringy is one of the northern gateways to Annecy. A formerly independent municipality that merged into Annecy in 2017, it is now one of its six delegated municipalities. Long a farming village, Pringy has grown into a sought-after residential area of detached houses: housing estates, quiet residential neighbourhoods and a few small apartment buildings make up a fabric in which the family house remains the dominant model. Its position, at the junction between the conurbation and the countryside of the Plateau des Bornes, makes it a place families seek out.

This success owes a great deal to Pringy's transport links: immediate access to the main roads towards Annecy, La Roche-sur-Foron and Geneva, quick access to the A41, and an active retail and business park that anchors the north of the conurbation. The result: sustained pressure on land, continuous demand for new builds on the last available plots and, even more so, a wave of extension and renovation projects on housing stock from the 1970s to 2000s that is now reaching maturity.

That is precisely the role of the project manager: carrying your project from start to finish, protecting your budget and schedule, and saving you from having to coordinate a dozen firms yourself. From our office in Aix-les-Bains, around thirty minutes away, we know the built fabric of Grand Annecy and work regularly in Pringy and its immediate neighbours (Annecy-le-Vieux, Argonay, Épagny-Metz-Tessy, Villaz, Annecy).

New builds remain in real demand in Pringy, on the last building plots in housing estates and on divided plots. We design detached houses conceived for their plot — orientation, slope, overlooking, parking — and compliant with the zone regulations. From feasibility to the building permit application, then from earthworks to handover, a single point of contact manages all the trades and keeps to the commitments on schedule and budget.

House extensions are now the flagship project in this residential area. Many families prefer to extend rather than move: a master suite, an open-plan living room, a converted garage, a timber frame or masonry extension, or even adding a storey to gain a floor. We study compatibility with the existing building (structure, roof, services) and the architectural integration, prepare the building permit or prior declaration (déclaration préalable) application and manage the works from start to finish.

Finally, house renovation concerns a stock of detached houses reaching the end of their first life cycle. Reconfiguring spaces, opening up living areas, upgrading insulation, heating and ventilation, modernising bathrooms: this work improves the comfort and value of the property. As an RGE-certified firm, we also carry out comprehensive energy renovation — the most cost-effective item in the medium term on these 1970s-2000s houses.

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, 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 project with a controlled budget. As all planning applications in Pringy are assessed by Grand Annecy's departments under the community local plan (PLUiHD), we always check the zone regulations — heights, building footprint, setbacks, parking, 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.
