Project manager
in Saint-Julien-en-Genevois.

Atelier NovAlp supports your renovation, extension and construction projects in the Genevois border area: architecture, project management and general contracting under a single contract, with a commitment on price and timescale that is especially valuable when you are managing a project from the other side of the border.

Saint-Julien-en-Genevois: a market under cross-border pressure

Ten kilometres from Geneva, Saint-Julien-en-Genevois lives at the pace of Greater Geneva. Nearly two-thirds of its working population work in Switzerland, and this reality shapes its entire property market: some of the strongest land pressure in Haute-Savoie, high purchasing power, and sustained demand for quality housing — both new build and renovation.

For a project manager, this context has a direct consequence: clients expect a project that is well run, well defined and free of unpleasant surprises, often because they manage it partly remotely, between working days in Geneva. That is exactly what the general contracting formula provides: one contract, one point of contact, a committed price and timescale from the first meeting to handing over the keys.

We cover the full range: complete renovation of apartments and houses, extensions to gain space without leaving a sought-after location, new builds on the few plots available. All with our own teams and a site manager on hand throughout.

Our work in Saint-Julien-en-Genevois

Renovation, extensions, new builds and energy renovation — for a demanding market, ten kilometres from Geneva.

House renovation

Full or partial renovation of detached houses in Saint-Julien-en-Genevois: 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).

Building and renovating in the Genevois: the key points

Land is scarce and expensive in the Genevois: every square metre counts. Our extension and storey-addition projects aim to make the most of what already exists rather than spread out, in line with the Saint-Julien local plan (PLU) and the regulations of the Genevois community of municipalities, which govern density and integration.

Renovating the cross-border housing stock — recent apartment blocks as well as older houses — increasingly involves energy performance. Our RGE CertiRénov certification gives access to French grants (MaPrimeRénov', CEE, éco-PTZ), which many cross-border homeowners know little about: we put the applications together with you.

Finally, clients in the Genevois expect a high standard of finish. Our in-house design office and our own site teams allow us to meet this standard without spreading responsibility across ten different firms: the people who design are the people who build.

Frequently asked questions · Saint-Julien-en-Genevois

Does the cross-border market make building work more expensive in Saint-Julien?
Demand and the expected level of finish push prices up, but that is precisely where project management protects your budget: competitive tendering between firms, precise costing and a price commitment. You pay the fair market price, not a premium for improvisation.
Can you manage a project remotely from Switzerland?
Yes, it is everyday life for many of our cross-border clients. A single point of contact, a NovAlp site manager on hand throughout, regular progress reports: you keep sight of progress without having to be there every week.
Do you work in Saint-Julien-en-Genevois from Aix-les-Bains?
Yes. Our office is in Aix-les-Bains and we work regularly in Saint-Julien-en-Genevois 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 Saint-Julien-en-Genevois?
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).
