Album of our projectsLiving rooms, kitchens, bathrooms, facades and moreIn brief
For a villa or enlargement project in Chêne-Bourg, 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-Bourg
Chêne-Bourg forms a continuous urban hub on the left bank with the neighbouring municipalities and has a station on the regional network. The built fabric is dense, made up of residential buildings with shops on the ground floor, and the station area is changing considerably. Work is coordinated with the property management agencies and with town-centre traffic.
In this dense fabric, structural work for a detached house is the exception. It is most often an annex or a reinforced concrete wall on an enclosed plot, with concrete pumped from the street.
Earthworks and excavations in Chêne-Bourg
Opening the excavations for a house requires knowing the soil. The geotechnical report indicates the stability of the sides and the presence of water. Battering, shoring or temporary pumping are planned accordingly.
Excavated materials are sorted, reused as backfill where possible or taken to authorised sites with disposal notes.
House extension and enlargement in Chêne-Bourg
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.
Slabs and floors in Chêne-Bourg
Whether a ground-bearing slab or a slab on a raft, upper-floor slabs cast in place or floors with precast planks or hollow blocks, each level of the house rests on a slab set to the level agreed for the screeds and coverings.
Stairwell openings, service ducts and sleeves are placed before reinforcement, according to the installers’ plans.

Frequently asked questions
Your questions in Chêne-Bourg
Can you live in the house during an extension in Chêne-Bourg?
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.
Do you build complete houses in Chêne-Bourg?
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.
How is access to the worksite handled in Chêne-Bourg?
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 Chêne-Bourg?
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.
