The context in the city of Geneva
Geneva, the central city of the canton, spreads out on both sides of the harbour and the Rhône, from the Old Town to the dense Pâquis, Eaux-Vives, Plainpalais, Champel and Servette districts. Residential buildings, often old, managed by property management agencies and subject to heritage rules, dominate the built fabric. Traffic, parking for machinery and use of public land shape every worksite.
Walls, openings and lintels in the city of Geneva
We build walls in cement blocks, brick or concrete, and we create openings with lintels in existing walls.
Load-bearing walls are propped during the work.
Screeds, renders and repairs
New or reworked screeds, interior and exterior renders, filling of chases and crack repairs prepare the finishes.
Damp substrates are treated before rendering.
Extensions and low walls
Small extensions, masonry verandas, garden walls and outdoor steps are built with their foundations.
The permit procedures are explained to you.

Frequently asked questions
Your questions in the city of Geneva
How long does masonry work in the city of Geneva take?
An opening in a wall takes two to three days, a small extension several weeks. The quote describes each item, the planned duration and what is not included.
Is a permit needed for masonry work in the city of Geneva?
Simple maintenance and a renovation do not always involve the same procedures. In Geneva, leaving the structure or the layout of the home unchanged is not enough to conclude that no permit is needed. The obligations depend on the building and the nature of the work. Before starting, have your project checked by your architect, your MPQ or the department of the territory. MS Contractor SA organises and carries out the planned work in coordination with your representative. The procedures are presented on the website of the State of Geneva, on the applying for a building permit page.
Can a load-bearing wall be opened in the city of Geneva?
Yes, with an engineer’s calculation, a correctly sized lintel and propping during the work. We organise everything.
What should be prepared for a quote in the city of Geneva?
Photos, the approximate dimensions and, if you have them, the plans of the building. The visit specifies the rest.
