What Qcs Services does

Quardina (formerly Qcs Services) is a French engineering consultancy and wholly-owned subsidiary of Groupe Qualiconsult, founded in 2014 and headquartered in Vélizy-Villacoublay. The firm delivers audits, diagnostics, instrumentation, and Technical Assistance to Project Owners (ATMO) across building, infrastructure, and civil engineering assets, organized around 10 technical domains including structure, thermal, fire safety, acoustics, accessibility, environmental quality, BIM, and climate resilience. Service delivery is supported by an internal materials laboratory and proprietary digital tools (QUALIESTATE for asset management, QUALITOUCH for tablet-based field data capture, QUALITHERM for energy modeling, and QUAL'e VEILLE for regulatory monitoring with 3D visualization), as well as drone and ground-penetrating-radar inspection capabilities.

Quardina operates from 15 locations across France with a multidisciplinary engineering workforce of approximately 100-140 people (homepage states 100; careers page states 140) holding five OPQIBI qualifications (0110 QEO, 0111 accessibility, 1820 civil engineering inspection, 1905 RGE energy audit, 8721 aeraulic networks), Qualibat 8721, and CATEC confined-space certification. The customer base spans social housing operators (Société Immobilière 3F, Résidence Urbaine de France), transport and port infrastructure (SNCF, Port Maritime, Ville de Paris tunnels), airports (Aéroport de Marseille Provence), local authorities (Ville de Provins), and cultural venues (La Seine Musicale). Recent revenue diversification includes CSRD/ESG advisory, VSME reporting, and a Daubié Law vacant-office-to-housing conversion service launched in 2025.

The business model is project-based professional services sold through direct enterprise and public-sector engagement — no indirect channels, no public pricing, and no disclosed subscription or productized SaaS revenue. The firm operates as a Société à Mission and joined the UN Global Compact in March 2024. All revenue is generated in France; no international footprint is disclosed.
