Master Cube

What Master Cube does

Maître Cube is a private, France-headquartered general contractor specializing in mass timber construction for the public and private building sectors. The firm positions itself as the leading French timber construction operator ("premier opérateur français de construction bois") and operates an industrialized off-site construction model across seven production sites distributed nationally across Paris/Ile-de-France, Normandie, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, Pays de la Loire, Occitanie, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, and Grand Est. Its offering spans four delivery models — Marché Global de Performance (performance contracts with operation and maintenance), Conception Réalisation (design-build), Macro Lot (large-lot construction to client specifications), and Lot Séparé (separately tendered wood structure packages) — and serves four end-use sectors: housing (residential, student, senior, social, mixed-use), educational buildings (schools, colleges, high schools), professional structures (industrial, agricultural, office), and diversified projects (sports, leisure, pools, emergency housing).

The firm's underlying technology combines a 100% BIM methodology practiced for over 20 years, with 3D digital modeling and IFC-format fabrication file transfers coordinating design across stakeholders, alongside 40,000 m² of factory and workshop space, 6 timber frame assembly lines, 15 CNC machining centers (including specialized robots for CLT, glulam, solid wood, and metal fabrication), and 150+ pieces of construction equipment. Annual production capacity is stated at 200,000 m² of timber frame walls, with over 50,000 m³ of wood sourced annually from sustainably managed European forests (more than 70% French-sourced), sequestering over 50,000 tonnes of CO2 per year in delivered projects. The firm holds FSC, PEFC, Bois de France, Bois des Alpes, Constructions Bois 21, and Qualibat RGE certifications supporting eligibility for high-environmental-value tenders.

Maître Cube's revenue mechanics are contract-based, generated through competitive tendering for both public-sector (municipalities, départements, régions, social housing operators) and private-sector (promoteurs, bailleurs, mixed-use developers) clients. Pricing is bid-driven and project-specific rather than transparently disclosed. Cumulative revenue is stated at €120M; the firm employs 500+ collaborators (90+ engineers/senior technicians). Its shareholder base is described as exclusively composed of recognized wood construction companies. The company reports €1,050,000 in capital and is registered in France under SIRET 810 460 808 00027. Notable project references include Collège Samuel Paty (Valenton), the WOOD'ART complex in Toulouse (€18.35M), and the Groupe Scolaire Dominique Frelaut in Colombes (€23.47M).

Broad incumbents

• Bouygues Construction: One of France's largest general construction groups with growing timber and low-carbon capabilities. Competes with Maître Cube on large public tenders while also being a potential client/partnership route for off-site timber delivery.
• Eiffage Construction: Large French general contractor active in non-residential building and public infrastructure. Comparable on general contracting role and French public-sector project delivery, while competing for the same tenders as Maître Cube's traditional wood-specialist position.
• Stora Enso (Wood Products division): Nordic pulp, paper, and engineered wood producer with a leading CLT and building solutions business. Overlaps with Maître Cube in CLT supply and large timber buildings, but operates at vastly greater scale and across multiple wood-product verticals.
• Vinci Construction: Major French general contractor with civil engineering, building, and increasingly timber project capability. Comparable on enterprise générale role, public-sector tendering, and national footprint in France.

Direct peers

• Piveteau Bois: French industrial timber manufacturer producing CLT panels and wood framing for large-scale building projects. Most directly comparable French peer by industrial scale, product overlap (CLT/glulam/timber frame), and project types in public and residential sectors.
• Trecobat: French timber-frame construction firm delivering individual and small-scale residential wood buildings. Comparable on material specialization (wood) and French market focus, though smaller project scale than Maître Cube.
• KLH Massivholz: Austrian CLT manufacturer and project partner for large multi-story timber buildings. Closely matches Maître Cube's CLT-based, sustainability-certified, large-project delivery model.
• Mayr-Melnhof Holz: Austrian industrial timber group operating sawmills and engineered wood production for construction. Comparable as an integrated industrial timber supplier with cross-sector building exposure.
• Binderholz: Austria-headquartered mass timber producer and off-site constructor with CLT, glulam, and solid wood systems. Comparable on industrial timber production, off-site prefabrication philosophy, and multi-sector building delivery.
• Rubner Holzbau: Italian/Austrian timber construction firm specializing in large engineered wood buildings including public, sports, and residential projects. Comparable on off-site timber construction, European project delivery, and multi-sector scope.
