MS Contractor SA, a Geneva structural work company, carries out in Vandœuvres the earthworks, foundations, reinforced concrete structures, masonry and slabs of villas, detached houses and extensions. The work follows the architect’s and engineer’s plans provided by the client. The quote specifies the packages and quantities.
The context in Vandœuvres
Vandœuvres, a highly sought-after residential municipality on the left bank, has no apartment building districts. Large properties, villas with gardens and an old village make up its buildings. A large part of the territory remains agricultural, which gives a country feel at the gates of the city. Careful execution and respect for landscaped grounds are the rule.
With no apartment building districts, the municipality is the ideal setting for villa structural work. Extensions, new slabs or reinforced concrete walls are built among well-kept gardens, with protected machinery routes and a limited worksite footprint.
Foundations and raft slab in Vandœuvres
The type of foundation, strip footings or a full raft slab, is defined by the engineer from the soil study. We form, reinforce and cast the solution drawn.
Starter bars for the walls, pipe provisions and preparation for waterproofing are part of the package.
Masonry in Vandœuvres
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 Vandœuvres
For a ground-level extension, a partial raised storey or a garage turned into a room, each enlargement starts with earthworks for the footprint and the foundations, then the walls and the slab.
Carpenter, roofer, facade contractor and installers take over once the structure is struck and connected to the house.

Your questions in Vandœuvres
Do you also carry out the roof and finishing in Vandœuvres?
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.
What documents are needed for a structural work quote in Vandœuvres?
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.

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.
