What AGB does

AGB is a privately-held French general building contractor headquartered in Bezons (Île-de-France), founded in 1985 and led since inception by Christophe Bearzi as Président Directeur Général. The company operates as a multi-trade enterprise générale delivering new construction, renovation, and ongoing multi-technical maintenance services across electrical engineering, HVAC (génie climatique), masonry, structural work (gros œuvre), plumbing, and engineering consultancy (bureau d'étude). AGB serves a diverse mix of institutional, public-sector, healthcare, education, research, hospitality, and commercial clients, with 200+ active relationships and a self-reported 95% client loyalty rate. Operations are supported by a workforce of approximately 150 direct employees supplemented by roughly 350 subcontractor workers, indicating a hybrid direct-labor/project-pass-through model typical of mid-sized French TCE contractors.

The business generates revenue through two principal streams: project-based contracts for new construction and renovation (one-time project revenue) and recurring multi-technical maintenance service contracts for installed building systems. AGB pursues a sales-led, direct-relationship go-to-market, with no apparent intermediary or channel structure; the company's primary marketing surface is its website, supplemented by project portfolio and client testimonials. The company holds a broad set of sector certifications—QUALIBAT RGE, QUALIFELEC, Professionnel du Gaz, ADC Fluides, BBC, Effinergie, BREEAM, RT, and HQE—which are effectively required credentials to bid on French public-sector and energy-efficient construction tenders. AGB's customer base spans prestigious reference projects including Hôpital Necker, Hôpital Saint-Louis (Réa), Collège de France, Polytechnique, Synchrotron Soleil, MK2 Cinema, Syctom sorting centers, and Best Western Meudon. Geographic footprint is concentrated in Île-de-France, with no disclosed international expansion strategy beyond a single anomalous 2025 reference to a zero-crystalline-silica factory launch in Nelson, New Zealand, which is inconsistent with the company's stated French regional focus and warrants verification.
