Project manager & renovation in Voglans.

Voglans occupies a strategic position between Aix-les-Bains and Chambéry, south of Lac du Bourget, within the Grand Lac conurbation. The town is home to Chambéry-Savoie airport and lies a few minutes from the A41/A43 junction and the RD 1201: both central Aix-les-Bains and central Chambéry are a quarter of an hour away. This exceptional accessibility makes it a sought-after base for people working in either of the two Savoie employment areas.

Voglans' built fabric reflects its history as a village turned suburban town: a village centre with old houses and converted farmhouses, residential neighbourhoods built from the 1970s to 2000, and busy business parks along the main roads. Many houses of that generation are now reaching a turning point: inadequate insulation, energy-hungry heating, dated room layouts, floor areas that have become too tight for the families moving in.

The result: demand for renovation, extension and new build is sustained, driven by land that has become scarce and expensive around the lake. Rather than moving, many homeowners choose to extend or transform their house. That is exactly the role of the project manager: designing the project, obtaining permissions, tendering the works, keeping to budget and schedule. And Voglans is one of the closest towns to our office: we are based in Aix-les-Bains, barely 10 minutes away — genuine local site supervision, with several visits a week without difficulty.

House renovation is the most frequent request in Voglans. On residential estates and in the village centre alike, we upgrade houses built from the 1970s to 2000: opening up living spaces, creating master suites, completely renewing insulation, replacing heating with a heat pump, modernising kitchens and bathrooms. On the village's older buildings, we also know how to combine original character with contemporary comfort — farmhouse conversion included.

Extensions and added storeys meet the need for space of families settled between the two towns. Timber-frame or masonry extension, habitable conservatory, garage converted into a living space, partial added storey: we study the most appropriate solution for your plot, its orientation and the planning regulations for your zone. We handle the prior declaration (déclaration préalable) or building permit, then the complete execution of the works.

Finally, energy renovation is a major lever for Voglans' suburban housing stock. External wall insulation, loft insulation, high-performance windows and doors, ventilation, heat pump: as an RGE-certified company, we design coherent packages of works, eligible for public grants, that cut your bills for the long term and add value to your property in an area where housing remains in high demand.

Atelier NovAlp's strength is bringing three disciplines together under one roof: architect, project manager and RGE-certified general contractor. You no longer have to coordinate a designer, an engineering firm and a dozen tradespeople yourself: a single point of contact carries your project in Voglans, from the first sketch to the handover of the keys. This turnkey approach removes the grey areas between contributors — where most delays, cost overruns and defects arise.

Depending on the nature of the project, we adapt the arrangement: an architect's commission for a new build or a large extension, project management for a renovation with separate trade contracts, or general contracting with a performance commitment for a locked budget. On the planning side, Voglans comes under the Grand Lac conurbation: we systematically check the local plan (PLU) regulations for your plot — heights, building footprint, external appearance, the airport's noise exposure plan, setbacks along main roads — before drawing, for an application that is compliant at the first submission.

Our RGE CertiRénov certification no. CR-2026-73-0095 (Comprehensive renovation offer, issued by Qualitel Certification) gives you access to grant schemes: MaPrimeRénov', Energy Savings Certificates (CEE), eco-PTZ interest-free loan and local grants. We calculate your real out-of-pocket cost and build these subsidies into your project's financing plan. Explore all our services or our page on Aix-les-Bains.
