Album of our projectsLiving rooms, kitchens, bathrooms, facades and moreIn brief
MS Contractor SA, a Geneva structural work company, carries out in Confignon 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 Confignon
Confignon rises in tiers on a slope between Bernex and Onex, with an old village core, villa districts and vines. A large district under construction, shared with the neighbouring municipality, brings an urban dynamic to a territory that has remained very residential.
On the slope, the foundations of a villa or an extension are often set in tiers and the buried walls are built in reinforced concrete. Storage of excavated soil and access for concrete mixers are decided according to the slope.
Slabs and floors in Confignon
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.
Reinforced concrete walls, pillars and beams in Confignon
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.
Earthworks and excavations in Confignon
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.
How a request runs in Confignon
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 Confignon
Can you be entrusted with a single package for a house in Confignon?
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.
Can you live in the house during an extension in Confignon?
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 Confignon?
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 Confignon?
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.
