Album of our projectsLiving rooms, kitchens, bathrooms, facades and moreIn brief
MS Contractor SA, a Geneva structural work company, carries out in Dardagny 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 Dardagny
On the banks of the Rhône, La Plaine has a station and a small business area, and the Allondon valley is a protected natural area. Any work on old buildings takes their heritage character into account.
In a protected winegrowing village, a masonry extension or outbuilding must blend with the old buildings. Outside the core, the hamlets and villa plots leave more latitude for earthworks and casting slabs.
Masonry in Dardagny
Between the concrete elements, the walls are built in cement blocks, clay bricks or aerated concrete, according to the material specified by the architect. First course set by laser, even joints, ring beams tied to the concrete.
Openings are provided to the dimensions of the joinery plans, with lintels and sills prepared.
Slabs and floors in Dardagny
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.
House extension and enlargement in Dardagny
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.

Do you build complete houses in Dardagny?
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 Dardagny?
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.
Do you also carry out the roof and finishing in Dardagny?
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.
