The context in Cartigny
Perched above a bend of the Rhône bordered by a nature reserve, Cartigny belongs to the Champagne genevoise. Its old centre, made up of grouped winegrowers’ houses and farms, is carefully preserved, while vines and crops occupy the surroundings. Narrow lanes and stone walls characterise the work on site.
Slabs and stone in Cartigny
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 Cartigny
How long does building a terrace in Cartigny 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 Cartigny?
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 coordination 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 Cartigny?
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 Cartigny?
Wood turns silver-grey and needs maintenance, composite keeps its colour and cleans with water. Both are laid on the same structure.
