Album of our projectsLiving rooms, kitchens, bathrooms, facades and moreIn brief
MS Contractor SA, a Geneva structural work company, carries out in Avusy the earthworks, foundations, reinforced concrete structures, masonry and slabs of villas, detached houses and extensions. The work follows the architect’s and engineer’s plans provided by the client. The quote specifies the packages and quantities.
The context in Avusy
Several hamlets scattered across farmland make up this border municipality of the Champagne genevoise, known for its gravel extraction. Farms, village houses and villas make up most of the buildings. As the centre of the canton is far away and the agricultural zones are protected, projects mainly concern existing buildings.
As building land is scarce in the protected agricultural zone, structural work mainly concerns extending a villa or a farm. The new foundations, slab and load-bearing walls then rest against the existing construction.
Masonry in Avusy
The masonry of a level is built between two slabs. The schedule is organised level by level with the reinforced concrete. Plumb and opening dimensions are recorded with the site management.
In an existing house, opening or closing a wall is carried out according to an engineer’s plan when the wall is load-bearing.
Foundations and raft slab in Avusy
The raft slab of a villa is cast in one or more phases depending on its size and the planned joints. Its surface is levelled to the required height and curing is ensured during the first days.
Special foundations, when the soil requires them, are the responsibility of specialised companies and are flagged in the quote.
House extension and enlargement in Avusy
The structural work of an extension follows the same packages as a new house, on a smaller scale. The connection with the existing building, joint or anchoring, is defined by the engineer so that the old and new parts stay well joined.
The slab levels are aligned with those of the house so the floors meet without unplanned steps.
How a request runs in Avusy
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 Avusy
How is access to the worksite handled in Avusy?
During the visit we examine the width of the lane, the space for the crane, the skip and storage, and the proximity of neighbours. Requests to use public land, when needed, are prepared with the site management.
What documents are needed for a structural work quote in Avusy?
The architect’s plans, the engineer’s plans if they exist, the geotechnical report and a description of the access to the plot. Without execution plans, the quote states the assumptions made and is adjusted when they are received.
Do you build complete houses in Avusy?
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.
Is a building permit needed for a villa or an extension in Avusy?
Yes. A new house, an extension or a raised storey requires a building permit in the canton of Geneva. The application is filed by the owner or their architect. Structural work starts once the permit is final.
