What you are allowed to do exactly during a renovation depends on whether you are the owner or the tenant. A precise plan of the work to be carried out and a careful elaboration of the financing strategy have top priority in all cases. Whether and how you can remodel your apartment or house depends first of all on whether you are the owner of the property.
As the owner, conversions both inside and on the building envelope should not be a problem. However, one should first clarify whether a building permit is necessary. This can be the case, for example, if you want to convert a room into a study or build a garden house. In the latter case, it is also worth taking a look at the land register because restrictions can be set there that make the building project impossible - e.g., a minimum distance to the neighboring property.
If you own a condominium, you are a little less free because you usually have no say in exterior facades, floors, and load-bearing components. As a tenant, you should come to an early agreement with your landlord; otherwise, you may have to undo all renovations when you move out.
