Project manager & renovation in Sillingy.

Sillingy occupies a strategic position north-west of Annecy, along the route towards Frangy and the Val des Usses, at the foot of the Mandallaz massif. A quarter of an hour from central Annecy while keeping a real village character, the municipality has attracted many households looking for space over the past twenty years: its population has grown strongly, driven by housing estates, recent developments around the village centre and the business park that has grown up at the entrance to the municipality, continuous with La Balme-de-Sillingy.

Sillingy's buildings tell this story in successive layers: Savoyard farmhouses and village houses in the historic hamlets, detached houses from the 1980s to 2000s on the estates, contemporary builds on the last available plots. The result is very varied demand for work — building a house on a gently sloping plot, extending a house that has become too small, fully renovating an older house that has just been bought, or converting a farmhouse to give it a second life. All projects that call for real design know-how and rigorous management.

That is the role of the project manager: studying feasibility, designing the project, obtaining approvals, consulting and coordinating the trades, and keeping to the budget and schedule through to handover of the keys. From our office in Aix-les-Bains, we regularly work in Sillingy and the neighbouring municipalities: La Balme-de-Sillingy, Poisy, Épagny-Metz-Tessy, Chavanod and Annecy.

Renovating detached houses is the most frequent request in the municipality. Many houses built between 1980 and 2000 on Sillingy's estates are now showing their age: dated partitioning, closed-off kitchen, single glazing or worn windows, inadequate insulation, electric or oil heating at the end of its life. We rethink these houses as a whole — opening up living spaces, creating a master suite, completely renewing services, insulation and switching heating system — and manage all the trades through to handover.

Extensions and adding a storey meet the need for space of families who want to stay in Sillingy rather than move. A timber frame or masonry extension to enlarge the living area, a new floor above a garage, a partial roof raise: we study what the zoning regulations allow on your plot — building footprint, height, distances to boundaries — before drawing, then submit the prior declaration (déclaration préalable) or building permit application and carry out the works as general contractor.

Finally, farmhouse conversion is one of the municipality's finest opportunities. The hamlets of Sillingy retain Savoyard buildings with generous volumes — barn, cowshed, hayloft — that lend themselves remarkably well to contemporary living. Structural and roof timber survey, high-performance insulation that respects the old building, new openings, mezzanines under the roof trusses: as an RGE-certified company, we carry out these complete conversions, combining original character with energy performance.

What sets Atelier NovAlp apart is bringing three professions under the same roof: architect, project manager and RGE-certified general contractor. You no longer have to get a designer, a design office and a dozen or so tradespeople who don't know each other talking: a single point of contact designs, prices, obtains the approvals and builds. This turnkey organisation eliminates the blurred boundaries between parties, which are the leading cause of delays, cost overruns and remedial work on private clients' projects.

On the planning side, Sillingy belongs to the Grand Annecy conurbation and its local plan (PLU) clearly distinguishes the village centre, the old hamlets, the residential areas and the surroundings of the RD 1508, as well as the agricultural and natural areas of the Mandallaz. Heights, building footprint, appearance of roofs and façades, rainwater management, landscape requirements on sloping or highly visible plots: we analyse the regulations applicable to your plot before putting pencil to paper, and submit applications that comply from the first review.

Our RGE CertiRénov certification no. CR-2026-73-0095 (comprehensive renovation offer, issued by Qualitel Certification) makes your energy renovation works eligible for grants: MaPrimeRénov', energy savings certificates (CEE) and local schemes. Insulation, windows and doors, heat pump, ventilation: we calculate the real remaining cost and build the grants into the financing plan.
