The context in Meinier
In the agricultural plain in the east of the canton, along the Seymaz, Meinier has a main village and several hamlets. Farms, old houses and villas mix there, along with the remains of a medieval castle in a natural zone. The wide plots and rural access make the work convenient, subject to the protection of farmland.
Slabs and stone in Meinier
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 Meinier
How long does building a terrace in Meinier 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 Meinier?
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 Meinier?
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 Meinier?
Wood turns silver-grey and needs maintenance, composite keeps its colour and cleans with water. Both are laid on the same structure.
