Album of our projectsLiving rooms, kitchens, bathrooms, facades and moreIn brief
MS Contractor SA, a Geneva structural work company, carries out in Genthod 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 Genthod
Genthod lies on the right bank of the lake, between Bellevue and Versoix, and brings together an old village with protected buildings and villa districts facing the shore. The properties, often spacious and wooded, come with high expectations regarding execution.
The spacious properties allow the crane and formwork area to be set up without encroaching on the street, but crossing the lakeside road and railway with concrete mixers requires precise timing of deliveries.
House extension and enlargement in Genthod
The structural work of an extension follows the same packages as a new house, on a smaller scale. The connection with the existing building, joint or anchoring, is defined by the engineer so that the old and new parts stay well joined.
The slab levels are aligned with those of the house so the floors meet without unplanned steps.
Masonry in Genthod
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.
Foundations and raft slab in Genthod
The type of foundation, strip footings or a full raft slab, is defined by the engineer from the soil study. We form, reinforce and cast the solution drawn.
Starter bars for the walls, pipe provisions and preparation for waterproofing are part of the package.
How a request runs in Genthod
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 Genthod
Do you also carry out the roof and finishing in Genthod?
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.
Can you live in the house during an extension in Genthod?
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.
Can you be entrusted with a single package for a house in Genthod?
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.
What documents are needed for a structural work quote in Genthod?
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.
