Album of our projectsLiving rooms, kitchens, bathrooms, facades and moreIn brief
MS Contractor SA builds and renovates terraces and paving in Cologny for villas, garden-level apartments and buildings. Draining foundation, concrete or porcelain stoneware slabs on pedestals or on gravel, natural stone, pavers, timber or composite boards on joists, kerbs and steps are included in the quote.
The context in Cologny
On the left-bank slope overlooking the harbour, Cologny is among the most sought-after municipalities in the canton, with its prestigious villas and large estates. The old village and the residential districts are very green, and the slope of the plots sometimes makes machinery work harder. Finishing and a discreet worksite are highly expected.
Slabs and stone in Cologny
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 Cologny
How long does building a terrace in Cologny take?
One to two weeks for a forty square metre terrace, foundation included. The quote details the items and the planned duration and specifies what is not included.
Is a permit needed for a terrace in Cologny?
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. In agreement with your representative, MS Contractor SA organises and carries out the planned work. 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 Cologny?
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 Cologny?
Wood turns silver-grey and needs maintenance, composite keeps its colour and cleans with water. Both are laid on the same structure.
