GSCM Group

What GSCM Group does

GSCM Group is a French modular construction specialist operating as a holding of seven wholly-owned subsidiaries (Solfab, Decortes, Bodard Ouest, Bodard Est, CNSE, Daudin, Deltamod) that together manufacture 9,000 modular units annually across seven production sites and employ 400 people. The group is the self-described #2 player in the French modular construction market and #1 manufacturer of mobile units in France, recently rebranded to MODEAL in 2024. Its offering spans the full modular lifecycle — design, factory manufacturing, installation, and end-of-life reconditioning/recycling — serving BTP/construction firms (Bouygues, Eiffage, Vinci, Groupe Legendre), local authorities, education, healthcare, sports, retail, and industrial clients through direct field sales across a horizontal segmentation strategy.

The company's underlying technology is dry-process multi-material modular construction designed for indefinite reusability and mobility, with structures engineered to be relocated multiple times without damage and disassembled for component reuse or recycling. GSCM became one of the first two French manufacturers to obtain QB Modulaire certification from CSTB (December 2023), covering design, manufacturing, installation, and reconditioning, and its buildings comply with RE2020 environmental regulations with performance exceeding thresholds set for 2025 and 2028. The circular-economy layer is operated through Deltamod, which has saved 30,000 m² of modular buildings from destruction since 2013, supported by a self-published RSE report (June 2023) and a BIOM score indicating 44% of revenue is redistributed for sustainable territorial development.

Revenue is generated primarily through one-time sales of new modular buildings (offices, schools, healthcare facilities, sports facilities, commercial spaces, base vie de chantier) plus recurring rental/leasing services and a growing reconditioned/second-hand modular sales channel via Deltamod. The group operates an enterprise direct-sales model with no intermediary resellers, combining a corporate website and trade-show presence (BATIMAT, INTERMAT) with localized subsidiary-based customer relationships across France. Pricing is opaque (quote-based), and revenue figures are not publicly disclosed. The company is privately held with no identified external investor or parent, governed by a President (Philippe Dehedin since March 2024) supported by subsidiary-level management.

Expansion highlights6 records

Direct peers

• Algeco: French and European leader in modular space rental and permanent modular buildings. Algeco is the most direct competitor to GSCM's base vie, schools, offices and healthcare modular offerings across the same French customer segments.
• Cougnaud Construction: Major French modular building manufacturer serving construction, education, commercial and industrial customers. Closely comparable to GSCM on permanent modular construction in France, with overlapping BTP and public-sector accounts.
• Modulaire Group: Pan-European operator of modular space brands including Algeco, Elliott and Portakabin. Competes with GSCM on both French rental fleet scale and permanent modular building projects, especially with enterprise and public-sector customers.
• Portakabin: UK-headquartered modular construction specialist active across Europe. Comparable to GSCM on permanent modular schools, healthcare and offices, with similar design-for-reuse and rapid-deployment value propositions.
• Guérin: French modular building manufacturer serving BTP, education, healthcare and local authority segments with both rental and permanent offers. Directly comparable footprint to GSCM with overlapping French regional coverage.
• Wernick Group: UK-based modular building manufacturer and rental operator with permanent and temporary modular offerings. Comparable to GSCM on base vie, education, healthcare and circular/reuse modular offerings across European markets.

Emerging players

• Losberger De Boer: European modular and tent structure provider serving events, sports and industrial customers. Comparable to GSCM on certain sports/event temporary structures (e.g. racing, football installations) but with a different core portfolio mix.

Broad incumbents

• Bouygues Construction: One of France's largest general contractors and a GSCM key account. Although primarily a buyer of GSCM's base vie, Bouygues also delivers modular and off-site construction projects, making it a partial competitor on larger permanent modular scopes.
• VINCI Construction: Major French construction group identified as a GSCM customer. As a broad incumbent, VINCI's modular and prefabrication capabilities make it a comparably significant but diversified player in the same construction value chain.
• Eiffage Construction: Large French general contractor identified as a GSCM BTP customer. Serves similar public, private and infrastructure customers and operates off-site/prefabrication capabilities that partially overlap with GSCM's permanent modular offer.
