Album of our projectsLiving rooms, kitchens, bathrooms, facades and moreIn brief
For a villa or enlargement project in Satigny, 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 Satigny
The largest municipality in the canton and one of the country’s major winegrowing municipalities, Satigny stretches through the heart of the Mandement on the right bank. A station serves the main village, surrounded by winegrowers’ hamlets, while the area near Meyrin is home to a large industrial zone. Protected rural buildings, villas and business premises alternate on the worksites.
Between winegrowers’ hamlets and villas, the plots are vast and the roads suited to lorries. The earthworks, foundations and walls of a house or an extension are organised with plenty of room, outside the protected buildings.
House extension and enlargement in Satigny
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.
Slabs and floors in Satigny
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.
Masonry in Satigny
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.
How a request runs in Satigny
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 Satigny
Can you be entrusted with a single package for a house in Satigny?
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.
Who checks the reinforcement before concreting in Satigny?
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.
Can you live in the house during an extension in Satigny?
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.
