Ugine, steel town at the gateway to the Val d'Arly

A town of metallurgy and stainless steel — this is where Ugitech, heir to the steelworks founded by Paul Girod in the early 20th century, is a world leader in long stainless steel products — Ugine lies at the confluence of the Chaise and the Arly, at the gateway to the Val d'Arly and the Beaufortain. The town is organised in three parts: an old town on a promontory, the industrial zone on the alluvial fan, and residential developments to the south.

For a project manager, this translates into concrete needs: renovating older housing stock, including workers' housing inherited from the town's industrial history, extensions to houses in the residential districts, and energy renovation of valley buildings exposed to Savoyard winters.

We carry out these projects under project management or as a turnkey general contractor, with our in-house teams and a site manager present throughout. Ugine, at the junction of the Combe de Savoie and the Val d'Arly, is an area we naturally cover from Aix-les-Bains.

Our work in Ugine

Renovation, extensions, new builds and energy renovation — from the old town to the residential developments.

House renovation

Full or partial renovation of detached houses in Ugine: new services, insulation, reconfiguration, finishes — with a single point of contact from diagnosis 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 and extending in Ugine

Ugine's older housing stock — old-town buildings, workers' housing — often raises issues of insulation and upgrading. Energy renovation is a major lever for comfort and savings here: our RGE CertiRénov certification gives access to grants (MaPrimeRénov', CEE, éco-PTZ interest-free loan), which we put together with you.

For extensions and new builds in the residential districts, each project is aligned with the Ugine local plan (PLU) and the regulations of the Arlysère conurbation, with submission of a building permit or prior declaration (déclaration préalable), and coordination of the trades.

Our in-house design office validates technical feasibility upstream — a prerequisite for a realistic commitment on price and timescale, particularly on older valley buildings.

Frequently asked questions · Ugine

Is Ugine well covered from your Aix office?
Yes. Ugine, at the junction of the Combe de Savoie and the Val d'Arly, is close to Albertville and easily reached from Aix-les-Bains. A NovAlp site manager provides continuous on-site supervision.
Do you renovate older housing in Ugine?
Yes. The old buildings of the historic town centre and the housing inherited from its industrial history often need a comprehensive renovation (structure, insulation, services). Our design office carries out a diagnosis before pricing, and our RGE certification unlocks grants for the energy side.
Do you work in Ugine from Aix-les-Bains?
Yes. Our office is in Aix-les-Bains and we work regularly in Ugine and the surrounding area, in Savoie. A NovAlp site manager provides continuous supervision: the distance affects neither coordination nor 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 Ugine?
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).
