Project manager
in Rumilly.

Atelier NovAlp designs and delivers your construction, renovation and extension projects in Rumilly and throughout the Albanais: architecture, project management and general contracting under a single contract, from our office in Aix-les-Bains, twenty minutes away.

Rumilly, the fast-growing capital of the Albanais

Rumilly is no longer just the farming town of the Albanais plain. With more than 16,000 inhabitants, driven by its appeal between Annecy and Aix-les-Bains and by the industrial weight of the Tefal factory (SEB group, the town's largest employer), the municipality is seeing sustained suburban growth: new housing estates, densification of the centre, and a stock of detached houses that is ageing and needs renovating.

This dynamic creates two very concrete needs for a project manager. On the one hand, renovating older buildings in the town centre and the farmhouses of the Albanais: structural repairs, insulation, bringing up to standard, reconfiguring spaces designed for another century. On the other, extending and adding a storey to houses from the 1970s-1990s, when enlarging costs less and wastes less time than moving in a tight market.

We handle both, under project management or as a turnkey general contractor, with a commitment on price and timescale. Based in Aix-les-Bains, we can be in Rumilly in around twenty minutes: close enough for proper site supervision, well enough equipped to take a project from building permit to handing over the keys.

Our work in Rumilly

Renovation, extensions, new builds and energy renovation — for Albanais houses as well as town-centre buildings.

House renovation

Full or partial renovation of detached houses in Rumilly: new services, insulation, reconfiguration, finishes — with a single point of contact from initial survey to handover.

Apartment renovation

Interior remodelling, partitions, kitchen and bathroom, bringing electrics and plumbing up to standard, in old and recent buildings alike.

Extension & adding a storey

Gain space without moving: single-storey extension, adding a storey, loft conversion, in keeping with the existing building and the local plan (PLU).

New builds

Made-to-measure detached house or small apartment building, design adapted to the plot, permit application and site supervision.

RGE energy-efficiency renovation

Insulation, windows, ventilation, efficient heating. Our RGE CertiRénov certification gives access to MaPrimeRénov', CEE and the éco-PTZ loan.

Project management & general contracting

Two options: project management (you keep control of your contracts) or turnkey general contracting (a single contract, with committed price and timescale).

Renovating in the Albanais: what to plan for

Rural buildings in the Albanais have their own particularities. Old farmhouses and houses often combine thick walls, poor insulation and outdated services: a successful renovation starts with an honest structural assessment before any talk of decoration. This is where our in-house engineering team validates technical feasibility upfront, so that the price commitment holds.

On the planning side, every extension or construction project is aligned with Rumilly's local plan (PLU) and the regulations of the Rumilly Terre de Savoie community of municipalities. We handle filing the building permit or prior declaration (déclaration préalable), and the coordination of the trades through to handover.

Finally, energy renovation is a major issue for this housing stock: our RGE CertiRénov certification gives access to grants (MaPrimeRénov', CEE, éco-PTZ), which we put together with you and, for major renovations, with your independent Accompagnateur Rénov' (renovation adviser).

Frequently asked questions · Rumilly

How long does a building permit take in Rumilly?
Allow around two months of processing for a detached house (one month for a prior declaration (déclaration préalable)), after time spent on design and finalising the application. We prepare and file the application, and follow its progress with the planning department.
Do you renovate the old farmhouses of the Albanais?
Yes, this is common in the area. These buildings require a proper structural survey before work begins: our engineering team validates feasibility (floors, walls, roof structure) before costing, to avoid unpleasant surprises during the works.
Do you work in Rumilly from Aix-les-Bains?
Yes. Our office is in Aix-les-Bains and we work regularly in Rumilly and the surrounding area, in Haute-Savoie. A NovAlp site manager provides continuous supervision: the distance has no effect on coordination or on the quality of the work.
Do you carry out the work yourselves?
Yes. We carry out the works with our own teams (structural work, roof structure, finishing trades, bespoke kitchens), who know our standards. A single point of contact from start to finish.
Are you an architect?
Our manager is a state-qualified architect (French DEA degree), and we work as project managers and general contractors. When a project requires an architect registered with the Ordre des architectes, we bring in a registered architect.
Can you finance an energy renovation in Rumilly?
We are RGE CertiRénov certified (no. CR-2026-73-0095), which is a condition for accessing MaPrimeRénov', CEE (Energy Savings Certificates) and the éco-PTZ zero-interest loan. For major renovations, we put the project together with your Accompagnateur Rénov' (renovation adviser).
