What kind of work in Aire-la-Ville?
Aire-la-Ville is a small municipality in the Champagne sector of the canton. The OCSTAT municipal profile gives it 1,161 residents at the end of 2025 on 293 hectares. The cantonal table of buildings counts 308 residential buildings at 31 December 2025, of which 249 are single-family houses, roughly four in five.
The stock is fairly young. 101 of these buildings went up after 2000, close to a third of the total, against 58 from before 1946. The other 149 date from the years in between. A good share of projects therefore concerns houses built since 2000 that need to fit a changing family, with an extra room, a converted attic or a new kitchen. The 58 older buildings call for a different approach, starting with a full survey before any pricing.
For local matters, the official website of the municipality (in French) lists the contacts of the local administration.
Permits in Geneva
Whether the house is recent or old, the permit is issued by the canton. The official page on permit types states that the fast-track procedure, known as APA, covers interior changes to an existing building and works that leave its general appearance unchanged. An extension outside that scope needs a full application, called DD (demande définitive).
Our guide to building permits and procedures in Geneva explains online filing and the documents to prepare.

How HMG manages your project in Aire-la-Ville
There are two ways of working. Either HMG takes on the whole project and files the permit application as an agent registered on the Geneva MPQ list (mandataires professionnellement qualifiés, the cantonal register of qualified building professionals), then stays until the final account. Or you already have an architect, who designs the scheme and obtains the permit, and HMG takes over the construction phase alongside them.
On a house, the firm first prices each trade, then invites competing bids and sets them out side by side so you can compare them. During the works it chairs the weekly site meeting, writes the minutes, checks the workmanship and approves invoices before you pay.

Frequently asked questions
Is the housing in Aire-la-Ville recent?
A good share of it is. According to OCSTAT, 101 of the 308 residential buildings in the municipality date from after 2000, and 58 from before 1946. Work therefore often concerns houses that are still young.
Do you need a permit to extend a house in Aire-la-Ville?
Yes, an extension changes the volume of the building and needs a cantonal building permit. Depending on the project and the zoning of the plot, it follows the fast-track procedure or a full application. The firm checks this in the first study.
Will a Geneva firm come out for a small job?
Yes. The firm works across the canton and comes to the property for the first visit. Call +41 22 552 08 22 and you are called back within 24 hours.
