Evp engineering

What Evp engineering does

evp ingénierie (trading as 'en vertu des possibles') is a Paris-headquartered structural engineering firm founded in 2003 by David Chambolle and Marie-Anne Laurentin as an independent SARL with no external investors. The firm operates with approximately 30 staff across engineering, drafting, and administrative functions, delivering structural engineering studies for buildings and small civil engineering works as part of the maîtrise d'œuvre design team alongside architects, urban planners, and landscape architects. Its core service spans structural analysis from sketch phase through delivery, with emphasis on the exploration of diverse construction materials, techniques, and competitive construction methods in coherence with the architectural project.

The firm's technology backbone is Autodesk Revit Structure BIM, deployed since 2008 for collaborative project development, integrated with a calculation suite comprising CBS (concrete structural analysis), Robot Structural Analysis (3D finite element for timber and complex problems), RFEM, and Rhino/Grasshopper for complex geometry. This stack enables 3D structural visualization from preliminary design phases and supports reactivity to design evolution. Two offices are maintained: a headquarters at 80 rue du faubourg Saint-Denis, 75010 Paris, and a secondary office in Bordeaux (6 rue Léonard Lenoir, 33100).

The business model is project-based professional services, with revenue generated through structural engineering fees on a quote-driven basis. The client base is concentrated in French social housing operators (Paris Habitat OPH, RIVP, 3F) and public-sector entities (Agence publique pour l'immobilier de la Justice, SERM-SA3M, Communautés de communes), with go-to-market executed through direct engagement with architectural firms (Barrault & Pressacco, Studio Muoto, Charles-Henri Tachon, Remingtonstyle, Hardel & Le Bihan, DATA Architectes, KAAN Architecten, JKLN). The firm has accumulated repeat recognition at the Équerre d'Argent (2020, 2021, 2022 nominations) and d'a Prix d'architectures 10+1 (2020, 2021 wins), generating earned media visibility in AMC Architecture, Le Moniteur, and Detail Online. No public pricing, financial disclosures, or external funding are present in the source data.

Direct peers

• Bollinger + Grohmann: Franco-German structural engineering consultancy with offices in Paris, Frankfurt, Munich, and Vienna. Closest analogue to EVP in terms of size, BIM-driven workflow, and focus on architecturally ambitious and complex-geometry projects across Europe.
• RFR: Paris-based structural engineering firm specializing in complex and innovative structures with strong architect partnerships. Highly comparable to EVP in scale, French market focus, and emphasis on architecturally demanding projects.
• Khephren Ingénierie: French structural engineering consultancy operating nationally on social housing, offices, and cultural projects. Comparable in services, client base (including French social housing operators), and use of BIM-based workflows.
• Schlaich Bergermann Partner (SBP): German structural engineering firm renowned for complex geometries and lightweight structures. Comparable to EVP on the engineering-of-complex-architectural-projects axis, though larger and more international in scope.

Broad incumbents

• Setec: Major French independent engineering group with structural, MEP, and infrastructure practices. A broader French incumbent competing for the same public-sector and large-architect tenders as EVP but at materially larger scale.
• Egis: Large French engineering and project management group operating across buildings, transport, and urban development. Competes with EVP for major public-sector building commissions and offers overlapping structural capabilities within a much wider portfolio.
• Tractebel (Engie): Global engineering consultancy owned by Engie, with strong building and infrastructure practices in France and Belgium. Overlaps with EVP on public-sector structural commissions but at far greater scale and geographic reach.
• ARUP: Global engineering, design, and consulting firm with a strong structural engineering practice and deep architectural collaborations. Competes with EVP on architecturally ambitious, complex-geometry projects at international scale.
• Arcadis: Global design and engineering consultancy with significant European buildings and structural engineering capability. A broader incumbent that competes for the same French public-sector and private architectural commissions.
• WSP: Global professional services firm with a sizeable French buildings and structural engineering practice. Comparable to EVP on the structural engineering axis but operating at much larger scale and broader geographic footprint.
