Frequently asked questions
Your questions in Confignon
How long do the earthworks for a villa in Confignon take?
One to two weeks for the excavation of a house with a basement, depending on the ground and the access. The quote describes each item, the planned duration and what is not included.
Is a permit needed for earthworks in Confignon?
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 Confignon?
Good-quality soil is reused on site for backfill and the garden, the rest is taken to authorised landfill sites with the waste slips.
Can you work in an enclosed garden in Confignon?
Yes, with a mini digger that fits through a gate less than one metre wide and protective mats for the lawn.
