Album of our projectsLiving rooms, kitchens, bathrooms, facades and moreIn brief
For a villa or enlargement project in Meyrin, 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 Meyrin
Meyrin, next to the airport on the right bank, is known for its satellite town, one of the first in Switzerland, which stands next to the old village and villa districts. Added to these are a large industrial zone shared with Satigny, a major international research centre and a recent eco-district, all served by tram.
In the villa districts between the satellite town, the village and the industrial zone, road access is well established. The structural work of a house or an extension benefits from simple logistics for concrete and materials.
Reinforced concrete walls, pillars and beams in Meyrin
Load-bearing walls, pillars, beams and lintels in reinforced concrete form the frame of the house. Each element is formed, reinforced and cast according to the execution plans.
The installers’ provisions are checked before each pour. Planning every opening before casting keeps load-bearing walls intact.
Slabs and floors in Meyrin
Whether a ground-bearing slab or a slab on a raft, upper-floor slabs cast in place or floors with precast planks or hollow blocks, each level of the house rests on a slab set to the level agreed for the screeds and coverings.
Stairwell openings, service ducts and sleeves are placed before reinforcement, according to the installers’ plans.
Earthworks and excavations in Meyrin
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 Meyrin
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 Meyrin
How is access to the worksite handled in Meyrin?
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.
What documents are needed for a structural work quote in Meyrin?
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.
Do you build complete houses in Meyrin?
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.
