The context in Céligny
A Geneva enclave separated from the rest of the canton, Céligny borders the right bank of the lake and has kept a rural character. Old houses, villas and vineyard plots slope down to the shore. The distance from Geneva and the preserved setting point the work towards careful renewal of what exists.
Excavation and foundations in Céligny
Excavation for basements, raft slabs, foundations and swimming pools, with shoring if the depth requires it and management of excavation water.
The soil is removed or kept for backfill.

Existing services are located before digging.
Levelling and tight access

Your questions in Céligny
How long do the earthworks for a villa in Céligny take?
One to two weeks for the excavation of a house with a basement, depending on the ground and the access. The quote details the items and the planned duration and specifies what is not included.
Is a permit needed for earthworks in Céligny?
Earthworks are part of the permit for the project they prepare. Simple garden levelling without construction does not require one, unless the natural ground is significantly changed. The details of the procedures are on the website of the State of Geneva, on the applying for a building permit page.
Where does the soil go in Céligny?
Good-quality soil is reused on site for backfill and the garden, the rest is taken to authorised landfill sites with the waste slips.

Yes, with a mini digger that fits through a gate less than one metre wide and protective mats for the lawn.
