Citémétrie

What Citémétrie does

Citémétrie is a French independent consultancy and design office founded in 1989, specializing in housing quality improvement (habitat) across four client segments: individual homeowners (particuliers), co-ownerships (copropriétés), local and regional public authorities (collectivités), and social housing providers (bailleurs sociaux). The firm operates through 10 regional offices across France with 270+ multidisciplinary collaborators, delivering three core service lines: Conseil et étude (strategic consulting on housing policy), Audit et diagnostic (technical, energy, accessibility, and social diagnostics), and Accompagnement de projet (end-to-end project management). Its offerings are organized around French government housing programs including OPAH, OPAH-RU, PIG, POPAC, PTRE, and Plans de Sauvegarde, as well as specialized diagnostics such as flood vulnerability assessment and occupational therapy-based housing adaptation.

The firm's business model is anchored in professional services delivered through public-sector procurement, institutional mandates, and direct contracts. Revenue is generated via mission-based fees for studies, strategic habitat planning, program animation, and technical assistance engagements with local authorities, ANAH (France's National Housing Agency), social housing organizations, and individual property owners within government-supported programs. Citémétrie holds RGE certification for energy audits and operates as an authorized operator within ANAH frameworks. Digital tooling is limited to an E-CITEM client document portal and a Kotelo-to-TBS data converter — no proprietary software platform exists as a standalone product. Based on 2024 operations, the firm facilitated 5,560 renovated dwellings and generated €209 million in downstream renovation works across 500+ advisory missions.

Citémétrie competes through regulatory authorization, deep domain specialization accumulated over 35 years, and territorial proximity to French local government clients. Its competitive position is reinforced by partnerships with ANAH, Action Logement, CNAV/CARSAT, and increasingly with non-traditional actors such as La Poste for energy renovation detection. The firm has expanded into overseas France (Martinique) and new verticals including climate adaptation (flood vulnerability diagnostics) and aging-in-place (occupational therapy diagnostics). Alexandre Durand serves as President. The company operates as a SAS (Société par Actions Simplifiée), is founder-controlled, and has not disclosed external investment or acquisition activity.
