Masons are specialists in conversion projects. For example, they tear down walls, ceilings or floors and change rooms or protect you in the garden from prying eyes with a stone wall. In addition, they take over smaller work in the house such as plastering walls, on the house such as repairing facades or in the garden such as laying slabs for walkways - or major work in expansion, renovation or conversion projects.
The hourly rate ranges from 70 to 90 Swiss francs for a trained mason with a federal certificate of proficiency. Depending on the project, a master who is supported by one or more apprentices or learners is sufficient, which of course cost less than a trained mason.
When you tear down a wall, you change more than the floor plan of the house or apartment. For example, if you remove a wall and turn the small kitchen into a spacious kitchen or insert a wall and divide the second large bedroom into a children’s room and a home office.
