The context in Hermance
Hermance, the last Geneva municipality on the left bank before the border, stands out for its medieval town on the lake, with its tower, its harbour and its beach. The old centre is strictly protected, which closely frames facades, roofs and joinery. Around it, the villas and the agricultural slope offer more ordinary worksite conditions.
Slabs and stone in Hermance
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 Hermance
How long does building a terrace in Hermance take?
One to two weeks for a forty square metre terrace, foundation included. In the quote, you will find each item, the planned duration and what is not included.
Is a permit needed for a terrace in Hermance?
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. The planned work is organised and carried out by MS Contractor SA 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 Hermance?
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 Hermance?
Wood turns silver-grey and needs maintenance, composite keeps its colour and cleans with water. Both are laid on the same structure.
