What Ch Lavillaugouet does

Ch Lavillaugouet (legal entity CH. LAVILLAUGOUET SAS) is a Paris-based, family-owned sanitation infrastructure services company operating continuously since 1872 and now in its 150+ year. The firm provides end-to-end services for the building sewer and drainage networks of Paris and Île-de-France, structured around four interlocking offerings: network diagnostics (camera inspection, fluorescein dye leak testing, CATEC-certified gallery inspection), an in-house engineering bureau that produces network plans and rehabilitation studies, construction and refurbishment of buried and exposed sewer collectors, lifting stations, and grease/hydrocarbon separators, and rapid-response emergency interventions for pipe ruptures and collapses. Service delivery is supported by specialized equipment including diamond drilling rigs and intervention vehicles with crane arms, plus a unique historical archive of more than 20,000 network plans dating to 1872 that the firm uses to reconstruct missing as-built documentation for Parisian buildings. The company is led by the Lavillaugouet family (Eric Lavillaugouet as President, Margaux Lavillaugouet and Jacques de Moulins-Lavillaugouet as Deputy General Directors) and operates from a registered office at 9 rue Linné in the 5th arrondissement of Paris with a delivery depot in Montreuil.

The business model is project-based services revenue across four streams: one-time construction and rehabilitation project work, professional services fees for diagnostics and engineering studies, emergency intervention fees, and engineering study/plan production. Pricing is quote-based with multi-year contract cadence, and there are no publicly disclosed prices. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting mid-market and enterprise clients — property managers, co-ownership syndicates, building owners, architects, insurance companies, and judicial experts — concentrated in the Greater Paris region. The firm deploys over 100 professionals to execute more than 1,000 interventions annually and reports working in more than half of Paris's 97,000 buildings since founding. Customer concentration is spread across at least four distinct segments (building owners/property managers as primary, insurance and legal professionals, architects/design professionals, and food-service businesses requiring grease separators), supported by referral partnerships with FNAIM Grand Paris, SMABTP, FFB, and Mon Immeuble. The firm holds €224,000 in share capital, is GDPR-compliant as of January 2025, and operates with no disclosed subsidiaries, external investors, or acquisition activity.
