The structural work packages for building a house in Le Grand-Saconnex at a lower cost
A new house or an extension in Le Grand-Saconnex goes through the structural work first. We carry out its packages according to the project plans, in coordination with the architect, the engineer and the other companies on the worksite.
Album of our projectsLiving rooms, kitchens, bathrooms, facades and moreIn brief
For a villa or enlargement project in Le Grand-Saconnex, 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 Le Grand-Saconnex
Next to the airport and the international organisations district, Le Grand-Saconnex combines an old village, apartment building districts and villa areas. The motorway crosses the municipality and a large exhibition centre gives it a very urban character in places. Work in buildings goes through the property management agencies, and the proximity of the airport can bring acoustic requirements for the joinery.
In the villa areas of a municipality crossed by main roads, getting concrete and materials in is direct. The structural work of an extension is organised with consideration for neighbours who are both residential and urban.
House extension and enlargement in Le Grand-Saconnex
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.
Reinforced concrete walls, pillars and beams in Le Grand-Saconnex
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 Le Grand-Saconnex
Earthworks prepare the plot through stripping, the platform, bulk or trench excavations and soil handling. Levels and footprints are those of the plans.
Access for machines and lorries is examined during the visit. In villa zones, protection of trees and neighbouring plots is organised before the first day.
How a request runs in Le Grand-Saconnex
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.
