Earthworks, foundations, concrete and masonry in Troinex at a lower cost
A new house or an extension in Troinex 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 Troinex, 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 Troinex
Old farms sit next to recent detached houses in a very green setting. Worksites remain on a human scale, in a calm residential environment.
In a calm residential village, the structural work of a villa or an enlargement comes with informing the neighbours about the noisy phases, earthworks and pouring, and keeping the access roads clean.
Masonry in Troinex
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.
Slabs and floors in Troinex
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.
House extension and enlargement in Troinex
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 Troinex
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.
