Two-Family Houses in Hohtenn

Broken down by building category, the building statistics from the 2000 census show that in Hohtenn 18 of 52 buildings are two-family houses, or 34.6 percent. In Steg, the figure is 38 of 227 buildings, or 16.7 percent. The share is more than twice as high in Hohtenn, even though Steg has more two-family houses in absolute terms.

Two households live in a two-family house, and the windows of the two flats can be different ages and have different measurements. I therefore take the measurements per housing unit and record them separately.

On site

Same Measurements in a Single Batch

In Steg, the same statistics assign 11.0 percent of buildings to the category "other building", compared with 7.7 percent in Hohtenn. I measure every window there too, and how consultation and manufacturing work is covered on Made-to-measure insect screens in Upper Valais.

If several windows turn out to have the same measurements, I make those frames in a single batch. Every window is still measured individually. I also distinguish between the localities for rodents and cockroaches, though using different criteria, see Pest control Steg-Hohtenn.

Process

Measuring in Hohtenn and Steg

01

Determine the Building Type

First, I establish whether it is a single-family house, a two-family house or another type of building.

02

Measure per Housing Unit

For a two-family house, I measure per housing unit, because the windows of the two flats can differ.

03

Group Matching Measurements

If several windows have the same measurements, I make those frames in a single batch.

Qualifications

Who Takes the Measurements

The season for insect screens runs from March to the end of September. As a carpenter with a federal certificate of proficiency (Zimmermann EFZ), I make the frames myself based on the on-site measurements. My business, RS Construction, was founded in 2023 and is located at Landstrasse 51a in Naters.
