Album of our projectsLiving rooms, kitchens, bathrooms, facades and moreIn brief
MS Contractor SA, a Geneva structural work company, carries out in Céligny 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 Céligny
A Geneva enclave separated from the rest of the canton, Céligny borders the right bank of the lake and has kept a rural character. Old houses, villas and vineyard plots slope down to the shore. The distance from Geneva and the preserved setting point the work towards careful renewal of what exists.
For a villa sloping towards the lake, earthworks and reinforced concrete retaining walls are part of the structural work to plan. The distance is managed by grouping concrete and material deliveries.
Slabs and floors in Céligny
When the project provides for precast floors, installation requires a crane suited to access to the plot and supports prepared precisely on the walls.
The structural topping cast on site binds the whole together. The surface is floated to receive the screed.
Masonry in Céligny
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.
Reinforced concrete walls, pillars and beams in Céligny
Load-bearing walls, pillars, beams and lintels in reinforced concrete form the frame of the house. Each element is formed, reinforced and cast according to the execution plans.
The installers’ provisions are checked before each pour. Planning every opening before casting keeps load-bearing walls intact.
How a request runs in Céligny
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 Céligny
Can you live in the house during an extension in Céligny?
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.
How is access to the worksite handled in Céligny?
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.
Is a building permit needed for a villa or an extension in Céligny?
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.
Do you build complete houses in Céligny?
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.
