Belliard Construction

What Belliard Construction does

LB Belliard (Belliard Construction) is an integrated wood construction company headquartered in Gorron, France, with a regional agency in Treillières (Nantes). Founded in 1953 as a family carpentry business and reorganized in 2023 as a subsidiary of the diversified industrial group Groupe LB, the company operates across western France (the Grand Ouest: Pays de la Loire, Bretagne, Normandie, and parts of Nouvelle-Aquitaine). It designs, fabricates, and installs structural timber solutions - glulam (lamellé-collé) frames capable of spans up to 50m, cross-laminated timber (CLT), timber frame (ossature bois) wall systems, roofing and waterproofing systems, cladding (bardage), and in-house metal hardware - for public infrastructure (schools, sports halls, aquatic centers, municipal buildings) and private developments (logistics warehouses, residential complexes, commercial and tourism facilities).

LB Belliard's technology stack centers on approximately 9,800 m² of manufacturing capacity at Gorron: a 3,500 m² controlled-atmosphere glulam production unit operating to GL24 and GL28 specifications, a 6,300 m² timber cutting workshop, a 3,300 m² automated timber frame wall line with insulation insertion, a 980 m² roofing and metal workshop with plasma cutting and welding, CNC K2 machining, a portal frame (WMP) machine for CLT panels, and an internal laboratory performing daily quality tests. Design is handled by an in-house engineering office with BIM, CAD/DAO linked to production management software (GPAO), and structural calculation capability. Wood species processed include Spruce (Epicéa), Douglas, Larch (Mélèze), and Scots Pine (Pin sylvestre).

The company generates revenue through four streams: (i) construction contracts as general contractor or specialist subcontractor on projects ranging from €292,000 to €51,000,000; (ii) supply and delivery (Fourniture & livraison) of glulam beams and prefabricated timber elements to third-party carpenters and distributors; (iii) in-house metal hardware fabrication; and (iv) engineering and technical studies (structural calculations, BIM, fabrication plans). Pricing is project-specific and quote-based; channels are direct - estimation studies (études de prix), public tender participation, and architect referrals. The customer base spans municipalities (Ville de Laval, Ville du Mans), regional development agencies (Normandie Aménagement, Bordeaux Métropole Aménagement), private developers (Ataraxia), and enterprises (Groupe Séché Environnement, APRC, Domaine des Ormes). LB Belliard holds seven Qualibat technicality ratings (2313, 2343, 2362, 3153, 3181, 3271, 3811), Acerbois glulam certification (2004), CE marking, and project-level sustainability credentials including Passivhaus, HQE, NF Habitat, E+C-, Biosourced, and Effinature.
