Album of our projectsLiving rooms, kitchens, bathrooms, facades and moreIn brief
MS Contractor SA, a Geneva structural work company, carries out in Cartigny 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 Cartigny
Perched above a bend of the Rhône bordered by a nature reserve, Cartigny belongs to the Champagne genevoise. Its old centre, made up of grouped winegrowers’ houses and farms, is carefully preserved, while vines and crops occupy the surroundings. Narrow lanes and stone walls characterise the work on site.
In a hilltop village with narrow lanes, the concrete pump and the small crane often replace large machinery. The new walls of an extension are anchored on foundations compatible with the existing stone masonry.
Masonry in Cartigny
Load-bearing walls and infill walls do not play the same role. The former carry the slabs, the latter close the facade between the structural elements. Both are tied by ring beams to form a consistent whole.
Renders, insulation and joinery are then carried out by other companies. We hand over plumb, level walls.
Foundations and raft slab in Cartigny
The type of foundation, strip footings or a full raft slab, is defined by the engineer from the soil study. We form, reinforce and cast the solution drawn.
Starter bars for the walls, pipe provisions and preparation for waterproofing are part of the package.
House extension and enlargement in Cartigny
For a ground-level extension, a partial raised storey or a garage turned into a room, each enlargement starts with earthworks for the footprint and the foundations, then the walls and the slab.
Carpenter, roofer, facade contractor and installers take over once the structure is struck and connected to the house.
How a request runs in Cartigny
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 Cartigny
Who checks the reinforcement before concreting in Cartigny?
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.
How is access to the worksite handled in Cartigny?
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.
Can you be entrusted with a single package for a house in Cartigny?
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.
