Album of our projectsLiving rooms, kitchens, bathrooms, facades and moreIn brief
MS Contractor SA, a Geneva structural work company, carries out in Laconnex 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 Laconnex
Laconnex, a small village of the Champagne genevoise, is surrounded by crops and borders a nature reserve popular with walkers. The calm and the space available make the work easier, within the limits of the protected agricultural setting.
The space around the village villas allows excavated soil to be stored on site and concrete mixers to manoeuvre easily. The protection of farmland points structural work towards extending what exists rather than new plots.
Reinforced concrete walls, pillars and beams in Laconnex
The concrete is ordered in the specified class, vibrated and protected while it sets. When the project provides for exposed concrete, the formwork is laid out and finished with care, as an option priced separately.
Roof structure supports, window anchors and slab levels are recorded at striking for the following trades.
Slabs and floors in Laconnex
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.
Earthworks and excavations in Laconnex
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.

Frequently asked questions
Your questions in Laconnex
Do you also carry out the roof and finishing in Laconnex?
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.
How is access to the worksite handled in Laconnex?
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.
Who checks the reinforcement before concreting in Laconnex?
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.
