Structural work for villas in Geneva at a lower cost
From the first spadeful to the last slab, the structural work gives the house its shape and its strength. Each package can be priced on its own or with the others.
Album of our projectsLiving rooms, kitchens, bathrooms, facades and moreIn brief
MS Contractor SA carries out in Geneva the structural work packages for villas and detached houses, namely earthworks and excavations, foundations and raft slab, reinforced concrete (slabs, walls, pillars), masonry, slabs and floors, as well as extensions. It works from the plans provided by the client, their architect and their engineer, within the scope agreed in the quote.
What the structural work of a house covers
Structural work brings together the works that carry the house, namely site preparation, excavations, foundations, reinforced concrete structure, masonry walls and slabs. It stops where the envelope and fit-out begin, with roof structure, roofing, windows, technical installations and finishing.
On a villa, these packages follow one another in a fixed order. Each stage depends on the previous one and shapes the next. A precisely levelled raft slab benefits the full height of the walls.
Execution according to the project plans
We work on the basis of the architect’s plans and the civil engineer’s execution plans, which set the dimensions, reinforcement, concrete classes and provisions. These documents define what we build. Our role is to carry it out carefully and in the planned order.
Checks of the excavation base, formwork and reinforcement are organised with the engineer before each concrete pour. The provisions for networks are checked on plan with the other companies before casting.
For owners and for professionals
An owner having their house built finds here a contact for the structural work packages, alongside their architect. We explain each item of the quote in simple terms and point out the decisions to make before the work starts.
Architects, site managers and developers receive a quote structured by package and by item, with quantities, assumptions and excluded services clearly stated.

Frequently asked questions
The questions we are asked before a worksite
Can you be entrusted with a single package, for example the foundations?
Yes. Each package can have its own quote if you wish. When several packages are entrusted to us, the quote presents them separately and specifies their sequence in the schedule.
Who manages the structural work site?
Site management is provided by the architect or the representative appointed by the client. MS Contractor SA manages the execution of its own packages with a site manager and takes part in coordination meetings.
Do you also carry out the roof structure, roofing or finishing?
This site concerns the structural work packages. The other trades follow us, under the coordination of the site management. We prepare the necessary interfaces, namely the provisions, levels and supports.
What documents are needed for a structural work quote?
The architect’s plans (plans, sections, elevations), the engineer’s plans if they exist, the geotechnical report and information on access to the plot. Without execution plans, we state the assumptions made and the quote is adjusted when they are received.
