An extension is the best solution to adapt to your desires and needs. The mason can carry out all the steps of your extension, first by pouring the slab, then erecting the partitions and carrying out all the finishing touches.

 

Outdoor facilities

This type of development can be, for example, the construction of a concrete fence, a slab, a terrace, stairs …

The fence can be a property boundary, to consolidate sloping land …

The terrace extends your home allowing you to enjoy the outdoors in peace. The professional prepares the area beforehand where the terrace will be built, he prepares the formwork, pours the slab and removes the formwork once the concrete is dry.
