The structural work packages for building a house in Anières at a lower cost
A new house or an extension in Anières goes through the structural work first. We carry out its packages according to the project plans, in coordination with the architect, the engineer and the other companies on the worksite.
Album of our projectsLiving rooms, kitchens, bathrooms, facades and moreIn brief
For a villa or enlargement project in Anières, MS Contractor SA carries out the structural work packages within the agreed scope, namely the excavations, the raft slab or footings, the walls, the pillars and the slabs. Design and calculations remain with the owner’s representatives. We build what their plans describe.
The context in Anières
On the left bank of the lake, between Corsier and Hermance, Anières combines an old village with lakeside properties and a slope where vines and crops alternate. The lanes serving the waterside plots are often narrow, which means deliveries must be organised carefully.
For villa structural work by the lake, the width of the lanes determines the size of the concrete lorries and the position of the crane. Earthworks near the shore are prepared taking the soil type into account.
Foundations and raft slab in Anières
The foundations transfer the weight of the house to the ground. After the blinding concrete, the reinforcement is placed with its cover and checked by the engineer before concreting.
For a house with a basement, the buried reinforced concrete walls follow, with the provisions for networks.
Slabs and floors in Anières
An upper-floor slab is formed on props, reinforced according to the plans and cast in one go when the surface allows. The props stay in place until the time set by the engineer.
Balconies, canopies and flat roof slabs are built with the falls and upstands needed for the waterproofing applied afterwards.
Reinforced concrete walls, pillars and beams in Anières
Projects with large picture windows rest on a few highly loaded pillars and beams. Their reinforcement follows the engineer’s bar schedules and is checked before concreting.
Setting times before striking and loading are written into the schedule.
How a request runs in Anières
The first step is to gather the architect’s plans and, if they exist, the engineer’s plans and the geotechnical report. The second is the visit to the plot to assess access and the neighbourhood. The third is the quote by package.
The worksite starts once the building permit is final. Earthworks, foundations, walls and slabs follow one another in the planned order, with the concrete setting times.

Frequently asked questions
Your questions in Anières
Can you live in the house during an extension in Anières?
In most cases, yes. The structural work of the annex is done from the outside. The opening of the connecting wall is planned with you and accompanied by dust protection.
Who checks the reinforcement before concreting in Anières?
The civil engineer appointed by the client, or the site management. Each pour is announced in advance to allow this check. We place the reinforcement according to their plans and bar schedules.
Can you be entrusted with a single package for a house in Anières?
Yes. Each package, for example the foundations or the masonry, can have its own quote if you wish. When several packages are entrusted to us, they are presented separately and sequenced in the schedule.
Do you build complete houses in Anières?
No. MS Contractor SA carries out the structural work packages, namely earthworks, foundations, reinforced concrete, masonry, slabs and extensions. Design, structural calculations and site management are the responsibility of the client’s architect and engineer. The other trades follow.
