Album of our projectsLiving rooms, kitchens, bathrooms, facades and moreIn brief
For a villa or enlargement project in Corsier, 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 Corsier
Between Collonge-Bellerive and Anières, Corsier is organised around an old village and a small harbour, with villa districts sloping down to the lake. Its agricultural and winegrowing hinterland has been spared dense urban development. Worksites mainly concern detached houses, and access towards the shore is sometimes narrow.
In villa areas sloping down to the lake, the structural work of a house or an extension must deal with narrow access. Lorry size, concrete pumping and crane position are studied on site before the earthworks.
Masonry in Corsier
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.
Slabs and floors in Corsier
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.
House extension and enlargement in Corsier
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.

Your questions in Corsier
Do you build complete houses in Corsier?
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.
Can you be entrusted with a single package for a house in Corsier?
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 Corsier?
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.
