ODETEC

What ODETEC does

ODETEC is a French multidisciplinary technical engineering consultancy (bureau d'études techniques TCE — tous corps d'état) founded in 2005 and headquartered in Saint Laurent-sur-Manoire, Dordogne. The firm provides integrated engineering services spanning structural design, HVAC (génie climatique), electrical systems, environmental quality, thermal studies, acoustics, fire safety (SSI), landscape, renewable energy, and construction economics. With 75 collaborators distributed across seven regional agencies (Bordeaux, Paris, Rennes, Périgueux, Brive, Agen, Bergerac), ODETEC delivers approximately 50 projects per year for public administrations, social-housing providers (bailleurs sociaux), healthcare facilities, educational institutions, and private developers throughout France.

ODETEC's technical core is built on multi-disciplinary coordination from early design phases, documented expertise in low-carbon construction using biosourced materials (wood, hemp concrete, raw earth, straw bale), and verified delivery against the French RE2020 and E+C- regulatory frameworks at performance levels up to E4C1 (BEPOS). The firm holds 43 OPQIBI qualifications and 7 RGE certifications, which are audited credentials required for eligibility on public procurement (marchés publics) tenders. Specific technical capabilities include dynamic thermal simulation using 2040/2050 prospective weather files, acoustic engineering for non-certified mixed-material structures, geothermal heat-pump system design, comparative cost studies of energy solutions, and circular-economy materials reuse (réemploi).

ODETEC earns revenue through project-based professional services fees, won via competitive public tenders, architectural competitions, and direct engagement with project owners (maîtres d'ouvrage) as part of multidisciplinary design teams led by architects. Project fees span a wide range — from narrow studies (~€2,000 for a hotel CVC/SSI study) to major infrastructure projects exceeding €10M (e.g., Bergerac event center at €14.4M, Niort Tech III at €8.3M, AQUITANIS Biganos social housing at €6.8M). The company is privately held as a SAS (société par actions simplifiée), with no disclosed parent, institutional investor, or public listing, and no publicly disclosed revenue figure.
