Apartment renovation in Namur

Specific constraints in co-ownership: we manage for you

Renovating in co-ownership involves rules and education. We coordinate with your property manager for a smooth project.

Permissions and regulations

Some interventions require a general assembly agreement (or from the co-ownership council): facade modification, relocation of collective radiators, openings to common areas, visible frame changes. We prepare a clear file (plans, description, schedule, anti-nuisance measures) to obtain the necessary permissions.

Common areas & logistics

Protection of elevators and corridors, temporary storage, debris removal, time slots for deliveries. We respect timing and signage to limit disturbances, especially in the city center.

Controlled nuisances

Cuts with suction, clean/dirty zones delineated, containment tarps, daily cleaning. We inform the neighbors of noisy phases and prioritize methods that limit vibrations.

Procedures, EPC and potential aids

The interior renovation of an apartment rarely involves grants outside the energy scope. However, if you improve the envelope (compatible interior insulation, frames if permitted), ventilation, or individual heating, there may be regional aids subject to conditions (pathway, audit, proof of implementation). 

We indicate the documents to keep (detailed invoices, product sheets, photos) and, if a frame/facade change is considered, we check the aesthetic consistency and the permissions from the co-ownership/planning. Regarding the EPC, certain modifications may impact the label: we ensure to document the work correctly to reflect the actual gains.

FAQ - Apartment Renovation in Namur

How much does a complete apartment renovation cost and which areas are the most expensive?

For an apartment in Namur, a “turnkey” renovation typically ranges from €900 to €1,600/m² including VAT, depending on the initial condition, the extent of the changes (open kitchen, relocation of water fixtures), the level of finish, and the co-ownership constraints (protection of common areas, delivery time slots). The major costs are the kitchen and the bathroom (plumbing, waterproofing, tiling, furniture), electricity (compliance with RGIE), followed by flooring and painting. Acoustic improvements (insulation, decoupled false ceilings) represent a useful but variable investment. To optimize the budget, we phase the interventions, offer material alternatives, and focus on high-impact work (functionality, comfort, resale value). A detailed quote helps you calmly decide between options and priorities.

Is it possible to open the kitchen to the living room in an apartment?

In most cases, yes, provided that three points are respected: structure, technical ducts, and co-ownership authorization. We check if the partition is load-bearing; if it is, the opening requires dimensioning (IPN/HEB) and temporary shoring. On the technical side, we need to anticipate extraction (connected hood or quality recycling), electrical connections (compliant outlets/lighting), water supply/drainage, and protection against odors/grease. Finally, if the façade is affected (modification of openings, visible frames), a co-ownership and/or urban planning authorization may be required. We prepare a clear file (plans, phasing, nuisance mitigation measures) to secure the green light and coordinate the kitchen installation with other trades for a flawless finish.

How can we improve acoustic insulation without losing too much space?

We combine several fine solutions: resilient underlays under coverings (vinyl/laminate/wood), decoupled false ceilings with high-density mineral wool, and targeted partitioning (bedrooms, adjoining walls). The key is to address the connections (peripheries, electrical boxes, penetrations) to avoid acoustic bridges. In modest spaces, we favor thin systems (optimized frameworks, high-performance panels) to limit loss of m² while gaining several decibels in comfort. Each building has its specifics (wooden floors, concrete slabs, adjoining properties), so we adjust the composition after the visit. Finally, a well-designed ventilation system prevents humidity and echo nuisances in hard rooms (kitchen/bathroom), enhancing overall effectiveness.

Can we freely change the frames of an apartment?

Not freely: in co-ownership, the façade generally belongs to the common areas. External uniformity (material, color, divisions) is often imposed by the regulations or by previous AG decisions. Before any order, we consult the property manager, check the specifications (profiles, colors, glazing, visible hardware), and, if necessary, prepare a request for authorization. In Namur, a significant change in external appearance may require a declaration or a permit. On the technical side, we ensure air/water tightness, sealing, and the acoustic performance of the glazing for truly superior comfort. If the frames are common (central heating, coupled ventilation), we coordinate the intervention to maintain the coherence of the building.
