Chenes Construction

What Chenes Construction does

Chenes Construction (legal entity CHENES CONSTRUCTIONS, trading as Maisons Chênes) is a privately held French custom single-family home builder founded in 1983 in St-Georges-sur-Baulche, Yonne (Burgundy). The company designs and constructs bespoke individual houses for homeowners across eight French departments (21, 41, 45, 58, 77, 89, 91, and 10) spanning Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, Centre-Val de Loire, and Île-de-France, operating through six commercial agencies and a 400+ m² showroom in St-Georges-sur-Baulche. Its product offering centers on custom home construction with a portfolio of 52 pre-designed models across multiple architectural configurations (plain-pied, RDC + étage, RDC + combles; L-shaped, multiforme, right-angle), supplemented by land acquisition assistance (Terrain + Maison packages), VEFA off-plan exclusivities, wood-frame and architect-designed homes, town houses, extensions, and a smart home/domotics option. The company self-performs masonry and tiling with in-house tradespeople for quality control and uses computer-aided design with 3D visualization for project presentations, while relying on selected regional co-traitant (subcontractor) partners for specialized work and a thermal engineering partner for RE2020 compliance.

The business model is project-based custom home construction (one-time contracts) with pricing not publicly disclosed and varying by model, size, materials, and land. GTM is sales-led: customers visit agencies, request free personalized studies, download brochures, attend open house events, and make material selections at the showroom. Marketing channels include open house events, regional trade fairs (Foire de la Saint-Jean, Foire Régionale de Montbard, Salon de l'Immobilier Neuf at Paris Porte de Versailles), content/blog, sports sponsorships (Rugby Club Auxerrois, AS Héry Basket since 1983), and a customer referral program (parrainage). The company holds a décennale (10-year decennial warranty) and operates under RE2020 environmental regulations effective January 2022, with GDPR-compliant data processing. As of the latest disclosed data, the company employs 48 people, builds approximately 150 houses per year, and has completed over 5,000 homes since founding. Revenue is not publicly disclosed.
