A kitchen renovation in Onex lets you reorganise an essential room of your house or apartment, taking into account its uses and constraints. Preparing meals, storing food, using appliances and moving around easily are simple needs, but they depend on a well thought-out layout and suitable services. MS Contractor SA examines the project before the choices of units, materials and appliances are final.

The change can cover the whole kitchen or go with the renovation of several rooms. We also look at the less visible elements, such as water, drains, electrics and ventilation, because they determine part of the work.

A project that follows everyday routines

Before dismantling, we record the dimensions and note the doors, openings and installations kept. Preparation, cooking, washing and storage must each find their place while keeping the passages clear.

An opening onto the living room or a new arrangement of the units changes circulation in the home. We study your kitchen in Onex according to its surface area, the neighbouring rooms and the household’s habits.

Preparing the hidden elements

Depending on the chosen layout, the technical preparation can include the following work.

Removing the units and appliances concerned.
Protecting the rooms and the elements kept.
Adapting the water supplies and drains.
Preparing the electrics, sockets and lighting.
Taking into account the ventilation and the necessary connections.
Work on walls, floor, ceiling or splashback.

The connections and bases are prepared before the kitchen elements are installed. We organise this work in advance to keep changes to a minimum at installation.

Renovating while keeping control of the worksite

A renovation is easier to follow when the work is organised in a precise order. Protection, removal, technical adjustments, surface work and then installation each have their own timescales. If the home remains occupied, access, deliveries and the periods when the kitchen is less usable are also planned ahead.

A kitchen designer’s plan can serve as a starting point to identify the necessary work. If the choices are still open, the constraints of the home can be defined before ordering to keep room for decisions.

Do you need an architect or a building permit?

It depends on the home and the work planned. Replacing the units, coverings, electrics and plumbing of a kitchen, without moving a partition or creating an opening, generally counts as maintenance and routine renovation. As soon as the structure, the layout, the facade or the use is affected, or if the building is protected or subject to the LDTR, a building permit and a representative may be required in Geneva. Before starting, have your project checked by your architect, your MPQ or the Department of Territory. The procedures are explained on the “applying for a building permit” page of the State of Geneva. MS Contractor SA organises and carries out the planned work together with your representative.

If the project opens the kitchen onto the living room, moves a partition or affects the facade, a permit becomes necessary. In that case, we prepare the application with you and call on a partner architect when the file requires it.

Frequently asked questions

Can sockets be added in a renovated kitchen?

Yes, if the installation and the project allow the necessary connections to be planned. Their position is defined according to the appliances, the lighting and the work areas.

Can just part of the kitchen be renovated?

Yes. The scope can be limited to certain elements or include more extensive work, depending on the condition of what is in place and the improvements you are looking for.
