Album of our projectsLiving rooms, kitchens, bathrooms, facades and moreIn brief
For a villa or enlargement project in Collonge-Bellerive, 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 Collonge-Bellerive
Collonge-Bellerive includes Vésenaz, which serves as the centre with its shops and buildings, and extends along the left bank of the lake in villa districts and large lakeside properties. Shores and natural areas are protected, and the high-end properties expect careful work. At peak hours, the lakeside road concentrates the traffic.
On a large lakeside property, the structural work of a villa or an extension has room, but concrete deliveries are organised outside the peak hours of the lake road and the earthworks respect the protected areas.
Foundations and raft slab in Collonge-Bellerive
The foundations transfer the weight of the house to the ground. After the blinding concrete, the reinforcement is placed with its cover and checked by the engineer before concreting.
For a house with a basement, the buried reinforced concrete walls follow, with the provisions for networks.
Slabs and floors in Collonge-Bellerive
An upper-floor slab is formed on props, reinforced according to the plans and cast in one go when the surface allows. The props stay in place until the time set by the engineer.
Balconies, canopies and flat roof slabs are built with the falls and upstands needed for the waterproofing applied afterwards.
Reinforced concrete walls, pillars and beams in Collonge-Bellerive
Projects with large picture windows rest on a few highly loaded pillars and beams. Their reinforcement follows the engineer’s bar schedules and is checked before concreting.
Setting times before striking and loading are written into the schedule.
How a request runs in Collonge-Bellerive
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 Collonge-Bellerive
What documents are needed for a structural work quote in Collonge-Bellerive?
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.
Who checks the reinforcement before concreting in Collonge-Bellerive?
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.
Is a building permit needed for a villa or an extension in Collonge-Bellerive?
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 also carry out the roof and finishing in Collonge-Bellerive?
No. Our package stops at the structure, namely the foundations, walls and slabs, with the starter bars for the roof structure. Roof structure, roofing, facades, installations and finishing are carried out by other companies, under the coordination of the site management.
