Renovation in Seynod: Annecy's south-west gateway undergoing major change

Seynod is today one of the large districts of south-west Annecy. Long an independent municipality, it became a delegated municipality of Annecy in the 2017 merger that brought together Annecy, Annecy-le-Vieux, Cran-Gevrier, Meythet, Pringy and Seynod. From this history, Seynod has kept a character all its own: a lively centre around the town hall and the avenue de Champ Fleuri, extensive residential areas — Vieugy, Cap Périaz, Barral — and business and retail hubs that make it one of the economic gateways to the conurbation.

This mixed fabric — detached houses from the 1970s to 1990s, small apartment buildings and more recent co-owned blocks — makes Seynod a genuine renovation market. Many owners are looking to modernise an estate house that has become energy-hungry, to reconfigure a flat for greater comfort, or to extend their home as the family grows. Every project requires method: an accurate survey, plans, applications submitted to Grand Annecy, consultation of the trades and serious site supervision.

That is exactly the role of the project manager: to carry your project from the first sketch to handover, protect your budget and schedule, and spare you from coordinating a dozen or so tradespeople yourself. From our office in Aix-les-Bains, around thirty minutes from Seynod, we know southern Annecy well and regularly work in the municipality as well as its immediate neighbours (Annecy, Cran-Gevrier, Montagny-les-Lanches, Quintal, Chavanod, Balme-de-Sillingy).

House renovation, flat renovation and extensions in Seynod

House renovation is the most frequent request in Seynod. On the estates of Vieugy, Cap Périaz or Barral, many houses built between 1970 and 1995 deserve a complete upgrade: opening up living spaces, adding glazed sliding doors, new insulation and heating system, modernised bathrooms and finishes. We design these projects to measure, making the most of each plot's orientation and potential, and manage all the trades through to handover.

Flat renovation covers the small apartment buildings in central Seynod as well as more recent co-owned blocks. New electrical and plumbing systems, reorganised rooms, sound insulation, contemporary kitchen and bathroom: we work on individual units as well as on more extensive restructuring. When the works affect common areas or the structure, we prepare the technical file to be presented at the co-owners' general meeting.

Finally, extensions and adding a storey meet the need for more space without leaving Seynod, an area prized for its proximity to Annecy and its quick access to the A41. A garden-level room, a two-storey extension, a loft conversion: as an RGE-certified company, we design these extensions in keeping with the existing building and the planning regulations, including the building permit and coordination of the works.

Architect, project manager and RGE-certified general contractor: a single point of contact

Atelier NovAlp's strength is bringing three professions under one roof: architect, project manager and RGE-certified general contractor. In practice, you no longer have to coordinate an architect, a design office, a project manager and a dozen or so tradespeople yourself: a single point of contact carries your project in Seynod from the first sketch to handover of the keys. This turnkey approach removes the grey areas between the parties involved — where most delays, cost overruns and defects arise.

Depending on the nature of the project, we adapt the set-up: an architect's commission 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 on a controlled budget. As all planning applications in Seynod are processed by the Grand Annecy departments under the intermunicipal PLUiHD, we systematically check the zoning regulations applicable to your plot — heights, building footprint, façade colours, unsealed ground ratio — before drawing, for an application that complies from the first submission.

Our RGE CertiRénov certification no. CR-2026-73-0095 (comprehensive renovation offer, issued by Qualitel Certification) also gives you access to grant schemes: MaPrimeRénov', Energy Savings Certificates (CEE) and local grants. We calculate your real out-of-pocket cost and build these subsidies into the financing plan for your renovation. Discover all our services or our page dedicated to Annecy.

Frequently asked questions — Seynod

Do I need an architect to renovate a house in Seynod?
For the renovation of an existing house in Seynod, using an architect registered with the Ordre des architectes is not mandatory as long as the total floor area stays under 150 m². A project manager can design the plans, submit the prior declaration (déclaration préalable) or building permit application (façade alterations, new openings, extension), obtain quotes, coordinate the trades and sign off the works. An architect becomes mandatory again for new construction or an extension that takes the floor area above 150 m². Atelier NovAlp brings architect and project manager together in-house and adapts the set-up to your Seynod project.
How much does a house or flat renovation cost in Seynod?
In Seynod, a residential district in south-west Annecy, price ranges are close to those in the rest of the conurbation. As a guide: a light flat renovation (painting, flooring, kitchen, bathroom) costs €700 to €1,000/m²; a full renovation with new services and insulation starts at around €1,300/m² and can exceed €2,000/m² for high-quality finishes. For a major renovation or an extension of a house on a housing estate, the budget is priced per project. A free preliminary study with a site visit makes it possible to set a realistic budget before any commitment.
What planning rules apply in Seynod?
Seynod has been a delegated municipality of Annecy since the 2017 merger: planning applications there are processed by the Grand Annecy departments and fall under the intermunicipal PLUiHD (local plan covering planning, housing and transport). Depending on the area — central Seynod, the residential neighbourhoods of Vieugy, Cap Périaz, Champ Fleuri, or business parks — the rules on height, building footprint, façade colours and unsealed ground ratio vary. We systematically check the zoning regulations applicable to your plot before drawing, so as to submit a compliant application first time.
Can I fund my renovation in Seynod with MaPrimeRénov'?
Yes, provided the works are carried out by an RGE-certified company. Atelier NovAlp holds RGE CertiRénov certification no. CR-2026-73-0095 (comprehensive renovation offer), which makes your insulation, heating or window and door works eligible for MaPrimeRénov', energy savings certificates (CEE) and local grants. We calculate the real remaining cost and build the grants into the financing plan for your renovation in Seynod, so you know exactly what you will pay.
