Bouquet

What Bouquet does

Bouquet SAS is a French privately-held construction company (Société par Actions Simplifiée) founded in 1900 and headquartered in Saint-Porchaire, Charente-Maritime. The company designs, fabricates, and assembles steel-frame buildings (charpente métallique) and offers the complete building envelope, including structural framing, cladding (bardage), roofing (couverture), and finishing. Operations are conducted in-house at an automated production facility equipped with Ficep and Vernet Behringer cutting and drilling lines, plasma cutting, shears, bending machines, assembly stations, painting, and cladding equipment, with an integrated design office performing Eurocodes-compliant structural calculations (EC0, EC1, EC3, EC8).

Bouquet serves B2B clients across Nouvelle-Aquitaine, covering commerce and distribution (retail cells, showrooms, automobile dealerships), logistics and storage (warehouses, grain flat storage, wine cellars), industry and manufacturing (production facilities, workshops, food processing), construction trades/artisans, the public sector (schools, sports facilities), and a growing sports infrastructure vertical (notably indoor padel). Specialized offerings include photovoltaic canopies, building rehabilitation for energy performance, fire protection systems for steel structures, double-skin cladding, multi-layer insulated roofing, and galvanization/anticorrosion treatments tailored to Atlantic coastal environments. Named customers include Picard (SCI LACRU), Alliance Caoutchouc, AEIB Ventilateurs, DUO Concept (LPS), Vignerons et Traditions, Société des Entrepôts de l'Atlantique, SCI Marais Rochefortais, and Département de la Charente-Maritime.

Revenue is generated through project-based, quote-driven construction contracts with multi-year billing cycles on larger projects. The go-to-market is consultative and enterprise field sales: direct engagement with end clients, architects, and project managers (maîtres d'œuvre), combined with responses to public procurement calls for tender. Distribution is direct with no intermediaries, and marketing runs through the company website, an active technical blog, LinkedIn, and YouTube. The company is Qualibat-certified, affiliated with the FFB, and recycles over 180 tonnes of steel annually as part of its circular-economy positioning. No revenue, headcount, or funding figures are publicly disclosed.

Direct peers

• Hall Modules: French prefabricated steel building specialist producing modular halls for industrial, commercial, agricultural, and storage uses — directly competing with Bouquet in core metal-frame building construction across France with a more industrialized, less-customized delivery model.
• SMB Constructions Métalliques: French regional steel frame construction company offering design, fabrication, and assembly of metal structures for industrial, commercial, and agricultural buildings — directly overlapping with Bouquet's service portfolio, project types, and customer segments.
• Astoria Steel Building: Prefabricated steel building manufacturer active in France and Europe, providing standardized steel halls for industrial and commercial use — overlapping with Bouquet's prefabricated building offering but with broader geographic reach.

Emerging players

• Ossabois: French modular timber construction firm serving commercial and public projects with prefabricated wood structures. Comparable as a French regional/off-site construction peer competing for similar low-rise commercial and institutional work with an alternative material focus.
• Vestack: French modular construction startup focused on industrialized timber-steel hybrid building systems for residential and commercial use. Compares to Bouquet as a forward-looking competitor exploiting automation and ESG themes in regional French construction.

Broad incumbents

• Bouygues Construction: Major French construction group with broad steel building and public works capabilities. Competes with Bouquet for regional public tenders and large commercial/industrial contracts across Nouvelle-Aquitaine.
• Eiffage Construction: Major French construction group with extensive metal building envelope capabilities within a broader portfolio. Acts as a relevant incumbent benchmark for Bouquet on larger industrial and public tenders in Nouvelle-Aquitaine.
• Spie Batignolles: Major French construction group covering public works, buildings, and steel structures. Comparable as an incumbent competitor for mid-to-large public sector construction projects where Bouquet competes for regional tenders.
• Baudin Chateauneuf: Established French metal construction firm with national reach, active in structural steelwork, bridges, and building envelopes. Comparable to Bouquet in steel construction methodology but operates at significantly larger scale and broader geography, frequently competing for the same industrial and public tenders.
• VINCI Construction: Largest French construction group, active in steel and concrete building envelopes through multiple subsidiaries. Sets the benchmark for large-scale industrial and public building tenders where Bouquet occasionally participates as a regional competitor.
