Renovation work in Marche-en-Famenne

Renovation in Marche-en-Famenne

Choosing to renovate a house in Marche-en-Famenne is often the culmination of a well-thought-out project. One values a geographical location — the proximity to Waha, the tranquility of Marloie, the charm of the region's stones — but the building needs to be brought up to today's standards of comfort and efficiency. Between the initial crush and the end of the work, the technical path can seem complex.

This is precisely where Avenir Rénovations comes in. The renovation work in Marche-en-Famenne that we carry out is not a series of isolated projects: it is a coordinated approach that respects both the traditional building — blue stones, bricks, rubble — and current requirements for comfort, energy efficiency, and regulatory compliance.

Our team manages your project completely. You do not have to coordinate multiple trades, chase artisans, or mediate disagreements between parties. One phone number, one quote, one responsibility. Whether you are rehabilitating an old farm or modernizing a 1990s villa near Aye or Hargimont, our mission is to turn your goals into concrete reality.

A 360° vision: the balance between aesthetics and performance

A successful home renovation leaves nothing to chance. A new coat of paint loses all its value if the walls still hide persistent moisture, just as a renovated kitchen is only valuable if the electrical system fully complies with RGIE standards. At Avenir Rénovations, every home renovation is designed holistically to ensure a durable, safe, and coherent result. That’s why we structure each of our interventions around three complementary pillars, combining technical quality, daily comfort, and meticulous finishes.

Transforming spaces: interior renovation

The interior is your everyday living space. We intervene to remove load-bearing walls with the installation of HEA or I-beams, create open bays, and redistribute rooms to enhance fluidity and brightness. Our interior renovation service covers all trades: plastering, wall smoothing, drywall installation, screeding, tiling, and interior carpentry.

We do not simply refresh the existing space: we optimize it so that the house meets your actual needs. Every square meter is rethought, whether it’s a telecommuting space, a master suite with a dressing room, or an open kitchen to the living area. A detail often underestimated: in an old stone house, the thickness of the walls requires designing niches, outlets, and shelves based on the actual interior surface—not the original plan. Our skilled artisans take these constraints into account from the surveying phase.

Durable protection of the envelope: exterior renovation

The Famenne building must withstand humid winters and significant temperature fluctuations. The exterior renovation is the shield of your property. It starts with impeccable roofing, waterproof cornices, and properly sized rainwater drainage.

This is also the strategic moment to replace your old frames and permanently eliminate drafts and heat loss from the facade. In a stone building, choosing PVC frames requires special attention: the rebate must be adapted to the wall thickness, and the interior reveals must be re-pointed accordingly to avoid thermal bridges. A masonry repointed with lime or a new protective render ensures a healthy building that is no longer vulnerable to the elements.

The efficiency of tomorrow: energy renovation

Today, managing a renovation project without considering the PEB certificate would be a mistake. The energy renovation is the most profitable long-term investment. Attic insulation with blown cellulose or mineral wool, external wall insulation with cladding or render on rails, replacing the heating system with an air/water heat pump: each intervention is sized after thermal analysis. In an old house with thick walls, poorly positioned internal insulation can shift the dew point within the wall—an error we systematically anticipate before any structural intervention.

The stages of the construction site

The stages of the construction site

Every renovation project in Marche-en-Famenne follows the same logical sequence: secure the structure first, treat the envelope next, and finish last. Disrupting this order means paying twice.

Coordination of sites: what distinguishes Avenir Rénovations

Avenir Rénovations ensures rigorous coordination of your site through centralized management, effective handling of unforeseen events, and a single point of contact. A precise organization that limits errors, controls deadlines, and guarantees work done with complete peace of mind.

The coordination of trades is the most frequent point of failure in renovation. A tiler who intervenes before the electrician has run their conduits in the screed, a drywall installer who closes the partitions before the plumber has passed through, a carpenter who installs their frames before the repointing is finished: each of these errors leads to unnecessary demolitions and avoidable extra costs. Avenir Rénovations establishes a precise intervention schedule from the study phase, with validation milestones between each trade — mason, electrician, plumber, tiler — so that no contractor arrives outside their window.

The houses in Marche surprise us. Behind a ceiling that seemed sound, a wooden structure affected by humidity. Under a seemingly stable slab, active rising damp. In an electrical panel that looks correct, a non-compliant installation that requires a complete upgrade before any other intervention. The Avenir Rénovations team manages these unforeseen issues without abruptly impacting the schedule or budget: we identify most pathologies during the initial diagnosis and systematically allow for a safety margin in the quote to absorb the inherent uncertainties of old buildings.

You do not have to connect your architect, electrician, plumber, and tiler. Our specialists centralize all information, convey instructions to each trade, and are reachable at any time to answer your questions. One number, one contractual responsibility, one point of contact who knows your site in every detail.

Common issues and our solutions

Failing coordination between trades: costly reworks

A tiler who lays their covering before the electrician has run their conduits, or a drywall installer who closes the partitions before the plumber has passed: these sequencing errors lead to unnecessary demolitions and significant extra costs. At Avenir Rénovations, we establish a precise intervention schedule from the start and ensure that each trade intervenes at the right time, in the right order, without going back.

Order of work not respected: finishes damaged before even being inhabited

Carrying out painting or tile laying before structural work or networks is a classic mistake that forces the redoing of new surfaces. In the province of Luxembourg, where projects can stretch over several months due to harsh winters, adhering to a strict chronology is even more critical. Our construction method incorporates validation milestones at each phase to avoid any premature finishes.

Forgotten urban planning permit for an extension or facade modification

Many homeowners discover during the project that an extension or a change of facade requires an urban planning permit under the Walloon CoDT — with the administrative and financial consequences that this entails. Before any start in Marche-en-Famenne, our specialists systematically check regulatory obligations and, if necessary, prepare the permit application file to ensure your project is compliant from day one.

Frequently asked questions

Where to start a renovation in Marche-en-Famenne?

Any serious renovation begins with a technical diagnosis of the building: identification of pathologies (humidity, failing structure, non-compliant networks), definition of priorities, and establishment of a detailed quote. Structural work — demolitions, masonry, beams — always precedes the finishing work. Acting in the right order avoids costly setbacks and guarantees a coherent result.

Is it better to hire a general contractor or separate artisans for renovation?

Going through a general contractor like Avenir Rénovations has a decisive advantage: a single point of contact, a single responsibility, and assured coordination between all trades. The most frequent problems in renovation stem from a lack of communication between artisans — a carpenter arriving before the tiler, delays piling up. The Avenir Rénovations team plans each phase and validates quality at every step.

Does the 6% VAT apply only to houses over 10 years old in Marche?

Yes, in Belgium, the aforementioned tax advantage on labor and materials provided by a licensed professional applies to private homes over 10 years old. This is a direct saving of 15% compared to the normal rate of 21%. Note that supplies purchased directly by the owner remain subject to the full rate — an additional advantage of hiring a professional who provides the materials.

Is an urban planning permit required to renovate a house in Marche-en-Famenne?

This depends on the nature of the work. In Wallonia, interior renovation work that does not change the volume or exterior appearance of the building is generally exempt from permits. However, an extension, a change of use, or a facade transformation may require a permit via the Walloon CoDT. Avenir Rénovations assists you with administrative procedures to ensure your project is compliant.
