Earthworks, foundations, concrete and masonry in Soral at a lower cost
A new house or an extension in Soral 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 Soral, 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 Soral
Almost entirely surrounded by the border, Soral is a village of the Champagne genevoise whose old centre opens onto fields and vines. Farms and village houses make up the heart, complemented on the outskirts by villas. The rural border setting favours projects that respect what already exists.
For the villas on the outskirts, a masonry extension with a reinforced concrete slab is the most frequent type of structural work. Machinery arrives along the farm roads, and soil can be stored on the plot.
Foundations and raft slab in Soral
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.
Masonry in Soral
Load-bearing walls and infill walls do not play the same role. The former carry the slabs, the latter close the facade between the structural elements. Both are tied by ring beams to form a consistent whole.
Renders, insulation and joinery are then carried out by other companies. We hand over plumb, level walls.
House extension and enlargement in Soral
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.
How a request runs in Soral
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 Soral
What documents are needed for a structural work quote in Soral?
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.
Is a building permit needed for a villa or an extension in Soral?
Yes. A new house, an extension or a raised storey requires a building permit in the canton of Geneva. The application is filed by the owner or their architect. Structural work starts once the permit is final.
Can you be entrusted with a single package for a house in Soral?
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 Soral?
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.
