The structural work packages for building a house in Puplinge at a lower cost
A new house or an extension in Puplinge 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 Puplinge, 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 Puplinge
Next to the urban area in Thônex and on the border, in the east of the canton, Puplinge has kept its village core while welcoming villa districts and small buildings. The surrounding countryside remains agricultural and is crossed by the Seymaz. Work concerns the old houses of the village as much as recent constructions.
In a developing village, recent villa districts sit next to plots that are still vacant. The structural work of a new house, from earthworks to slab, is carried out with direct access from the country roads.
Masonry in Puplinge
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.
House extension and enlargement in Puplinge
Extending an existing house means building an annex against an occupied building, with foundations at the right depth, walls, a slab and a propped connecting opening. The project is designed by an architect and authorised before the work.
Residents generally stay on site. The noisy phases and the opening of the wall are planned with them.
Foundations and raft slab in Puplinge
The foundations transfer the weight of the house to the ground. After the blinding concrete, the reinforcement is placed with its cover and checked by the engineer before concreting.
For a house with a basement, the buried reinforced concrete walls follow, with the provisions for networks.
How a request runs in Puplinge
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 Puplinge
Who checks the reinforcement before concreting in Puplinge?
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.
How is access to the worksite handled in Puplinge?
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.
Can you be entrusted with a single package for a house in Puplinge?
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.
