The structural work packages for building a house in Russin at a lower cost
A new house or an extension in Russin 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 Russin, 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 Russin
Russin, a village of the Mandement perched above the Rhône and surrounded by vines, is close to the canton’s large hydroelectric dam. The winegrowers’ houses and cellars of its old core are protected, and the Allondon valley forms a preserved natural area.
In a protected winegrowing core, structural work is often limited to an annex, a wall or a slab extending a winegrower’s house. The sloping access and the village streets dictate the choice of machinery and how concrete is delivered.
Reinforced concrete walls, pillars and beams in Russin
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.
Earthworks and excavations in Russin
As the first package on the worksite, the earthworks shape all the following ones. The excavation base is levelled to the planned height and presented to the engineer before the foundations.
The quote states the estimated volumes, the soil reuse assumptions and the removal charges.
Slabs and floors in Russin
When the project provides for precast floors, installation requires a crane suited to access to the plot and supports prepared precisely on the walls.
The structural topping cast on site binds the whole together. The surface is floated to receive the screed.
How a request runs in Russin
You describe the project, the plot and the stage of the plans. We contact you again to clarify the packages to price, then visit the plot. The quote is drawn up package by package, with the quantities and assumptions made.
After your written agreement, the schedule is set with the site management. The engineer’s checks come before each pour. A site manager follows the execution.

Frequently asked questions
Your questions in Russin
Can you live in the house during an extension in Russin?
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.
How is access to the worksite handled in Russin?
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.
Do you also carry out the roof and finishing in Russin?
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.
