Pouget Consultants is an independent French consulting and engineering firm founded in 1982 by André Pouget, specializing in building energy efficiency, environmental engineering, and sustainable construction. The firm delivers a comprehensive service portfolio spanning decarbonation strategy, circular economy consulting, energy performance measurement and post-work guarantees, climate change adaptation, renewable energy integration, construction engineering (Maîtrise d'Œuvre), R&D innovation, strategic advisory, project owner assistance (AMO), and professional training. Its technical capabilities rest on dynamic thermal simulation (STD) with GIEC 2040 climate modeling, Life Cycle Assessment (ACV), BIM Level 2 modeling, PEMD diagnostics, and regulatory thermal calculations, supported by OPQIBI, RGE, Passivhaus, and Bilan Carbone certifications.

The firm operates from 8 regional offices across France (two in Paris plus Nantes, Rennes, Bordeaux, Sauveterre de Béarn, Marseille, and Montpellier) with 120+ multidisciplinary experts and 13 managing partners. It serves 400+ clients annually across seven vertical segments: public authorities, local authorities and state real estate, social housing organizations (HLM), co-ownerships and syndics, real estate developers, industrial R&D providers, and industry associations. Major clients include Ville de Paris, Département d'Ille et Vilaine, INGKA (IKEA Centers), RIVP, Elogie Siemp, Seqens, and Praemia REIM. The company is structured as a SARL under French law, with capital opened to employees in 2022 creating broad employee ownership, and Charles Arquin was elected President on June 30, 2025.

Revenue is generated through project-based professional services fees determined by scope and complexity, with no public pricing. Distribution is direct enterprise field sales through dedicated account relationships and regional offices, supplemented by European consortium participation (Reno Tides, Otterlife, GigaRegioFactory) spanning 7 countries. The firm also generates revenue through professional training and a new 2025 guaranteed-performance product called MaRénoGarantie, co-developed with Marsh France and Crédit Agricole Île-de-France for the co-ownership renovation market. No revenue, ARR, or external funding has been disclosed.

Regional players

• Burgeap: French environmental and geotechnical engineering consultancy (part of Artelia group) with strong practice in environmental impact studies, soil/groundwater assessments, and sustainable development advisory. Comparable on the environmental due diligence side of Pouget's LCA and decarbonation work.

Broad incumbents

• Artelia: Large French independent engineering and project management consultancy with strong building, energy, and environmental practices. Competes head-to-head on French public-sector building mandates and shares the same Maîtrise d'Œuvre and AMO service lines as Pouget Consultants.
• Egis: Major French-headquartered engineering and consulting group operating across buildings, energy, transport, and environment. Directly comparable as a building energy and decarbonation consultancy with a much broader portfolio and significantly larger headcount; serves the same public authorities, HLM, and developer clients in France and internationally.
• Antea Group: International environmental and engineering consultancy with a substantial French practice covering environmental impact assessment, site remediation, and water/energy consulting. Overlaps on the environmental consulting and LCA components of Pouget's offering.
• Tractebel (Engie Solutions): Global engineering consultancy owned by Engie, with deep European building decarbonation, energy efficiency, and district heating practices. A direct competitor for large European mandates, including the multi-country consortia (Reno Tides, GigaRegioFactory) where Pouget participates.

Direct peers

• Alterea: France-based independent engineering consultancy focused on building energy performance, decarbonation, and energy renovation for social housing, public authorities, and private clients. Closely comparable in scale, service portfolio (AMO, MOE, audits, thermal studies), and customer segments.
• Manergy: French energy and environmental engineering consultancy serving public authorities, industrials, and real estate clients with energy audits, decarbonation roadmaps, and building performance services. Comparable mid-market positioning; already co-operates with Pouget on mandates such as the CA Grand Avignon 66-site energy audit.
• Verdi Ingénierie: Independent French engineering firm specialised in sustainable building, low-carbon construction, and energy renovation of residential and tertiary assets. Directly competes for HLM, co-ownership, and developer mandates across France with a comparable service offering.

Emerging players

• Elioth (by Egis): Egis-owned consultancy focused on low-carbon building design, life cycle assessment, and energy performance engineering. Comparable at the technical level on dynamic thermal simulation, LCA, and low-carbon design services that Pouget also delivers.

Others

• Energiesprong France / Ressorts: Movement/platform for industrialised, net-zero energy renovation of buildings, with Ressorts representing the network in France. Pouget is a core strategic partner of Energiesprong via the Reno Tides consortium, making it both a collaborator and a comparable market-shaping actor in the same renovation ecosystem.
