Album of our projectsLiving rooms, kitchens, bathrooms, facades and moreIn brief
For a villa or enlargement project in Chêne-Bougeries, 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 Chêne-Bougeries
Between town and country, on the left bank, Chêne-Bougeries lines up its buildings along the main roads and keeps its wooded districts for villas. Conches, on the edge of the Arve, is particularly sought after for its properties with gardens. On these plots, machinery access and protection of the outdoor landscaping are sensitive points.
In these districts of large villas, the structural work for an extension or a new slab takes place among landscaped gardens. The route for the concrete mixers and the crane area are defined to preserve trees and fences.
Reinforced concrete walls, pillars and beams in Chêne-Bougeries
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.
House extension and enlargement in Chêne-Bougeries
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.
Masonry in Chêne-Bougeries
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.
How a request runs in Chêne-Bougeries
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.

What documents are needed for a structural work quote in Chêne-Bougeries?
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.
