Adequat Environment

What Adequat Environment does

Adéquat Environnement is a privately-held French property diagnostic firm headquartered in Paris (20 Rue Dagorno, 75012) that has operated since 1997 in the Île-de-France region. The company delivers legally mandated technical inspections required for real estate transactions, including asbestos, lead, termites, gas, electrical, energy performance (DPE), Loi Carrez/Boutin surface measurements, and environmental risk assessments (ERP). It also offers pre-work and pre-demolition diagnostics, condominium conversion dossiers (mise en copropriété), collective building energy audits (DPE Immeuble), commercial energy performance (DPE Tertiaire), water quality testing, and occupational risk documentation (DUER).

The underlying service model relies on certified diagnosticians performing on-site field measurements, sampling, and visual inspection, with results compiled into regulatory-compliant reports. All diagnosticians are direct salaried employees rather than subcontractors, which the company uses to differentiate on quality control. Technology stack is operational rather than proprietary — a website with online quote request ('Devis Express'), online payment, and content/blog functions — with no disclosed software products, APIs, or AI tooling.

The business operates a direct-to-consumer model targeting individual property owners (particuliers), landlords (bailleurs), co-ownership managers (syndics), and construction professionals across Île-de-France. Revenue is generated through one-time, quote-based fees for individual or bundled diagnostics, with pricing marketed as 'competitive' but not publicly disclosed. The company is structured as a SAS (Société par actions simplifiée) with €10,000 share capital, holds AXA professional liability insurance, and displays Bureau Veritas certification on its website. No external investors, subsidiaries, or parent entities are disclosed.

Direct peers

• AC Environnement: One of France's leading independent property diagnostic firms, offering a comparable nationwide suite of asbestos, lead, DPE, gas, electrical, termite, and pre-demolition diagnostics. It is the most direct head-to-head competitor to Adequat Environment in the same product category and customer segments.
• Diag Précision: A French regional property diagnostics firm offering a similar suite of mandatory sale, rental, and pre-demolition diagnostics. Directly comparable in service scope, target customers (individuals, landlords, syndic), and French regulatory positioning.
• Diag-Immo: A French property diagnostic network serving individual owners and professionals with the full mandatory diagnostic portfolio. Operates in the same regulatory framework and customer segments as Adequat Environment.
• Allo Diagnostic: A French property diagnostics firm offering the full suite of mandatory technical diagnostics (asbestos, lead, DPE, gas, electrical, termites) plus surface measurements. Comparable to Adequat Environment in service breadth and SMB/individual customer focus.

Broad incumbents

• Socotec: A major French TIC (testing, inspection, certification) group providing property diagnostics alongside broader building control, environmental, and compliance services. Overlaps with Adequat Environment on DPE, asbestos, and electrical diagnostics but operates at a national scale with a much wider portfolio.
• Bureau Veritas: Global TIC giant with significant French operations in real estate and building diagnostics. Already referenced as a partner/certifier on Adequat's website, Bureau Veritas competes in the same mandatory diagnostic categories but with far broader service lines and geographic reach.
• Ginger CEBTP: A French leader in construction materials testing and building diagnostics, part of the Ginger Group. Comparable on pre-demolition asbestos/lead surveys and building technical assessments, but with a stronger construction-industry focus.
• SGS France: Global TIC company with French real estate and environmental diagnostic services. Competes in asbestos, lead, and environmental risk assessments but at significantly larger scale and broader portfolio than Adequat Environment.
• DEKRA France: International TIC firm operating in France with real estate, building safety, and environmental compliance services. Comparable on regulatory diagnostic categories but as part of a much wider industrial inspection portfolio.

Regional players

• BPE Conseil: A French engineering and building diagnostics consultancy offering pre-demolition, asbestos, lead, and energy audits. Comparable to Adequat Environment's pre-work diagnostic add-ons and target market of construction/renovation professionals, though with a more engineering-led positioning.
