The context in Avusy
Several hamlets scattered across farmland make up this border municipality of the Champagne genevoise, known for its gravel extraction. Farms, village houses and villas make up most of the buildings. As the centre of the canton is far away and the agricultural zones are protected, projects mainly concern existing buildings.
Slabs and stone in Avusy
Concrete slabs, 2 cm porcelain stoneware or natural stone laid on pedestals, on gravel or bonded to a concrete slab.
The draining base keeps water and frost away from the surface.
Pavers and paths
Concrete or stone pavers, kerbs, channels and falls towards the gratings for courtyards and paths.
The joints are sanded or resin-filled.
Timber terraces
Timber or composite boards on joists and adjustable pedestals, for ground-level terraces, flat roofs and pool surrounds.
The timber is chosen to last outdoors.

Frequently asked questions
Your questions in Avusy
How long does building a terrace in Avusy take?
One to two weeks for a forty square metre terrace, foundation included. The quote describes each item, the planned duration and what is not included.
Is a permit needed for a terrace in Avusy?
The permits needed depend on the planned structures, the land and the protections applying to the property. Before creating or changing a terrace, a path, a wall or a roof, have the procedures confirmed by your architect, your MPQ or the territory department. MS Contractor SA organises and carries out the planned work in liaison with your representative. The procedures are presented on the website of the State of Geneva, on the page applying for a building permit.
Slabs on pedestals or bonded in Avusy?
On pedestals, the slabs can be lifted and let water through, ideal on a flat roof or a balcony. Bonded to a concrete slab, they suit garden terraces with heavy use.
Wood or composite in Avusy?
Wood turns silver-grey and needs maintenance, composite keeps its colour and cleans with water. Both are laid on the same structure.
