What Procobat does

Procobat is a French cooperative (SCOP-SA) construction project management firm headquartered in Vaulx-en-Velin (Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes), founded in 1979 and reorganized under its current cooperative-ownership form in early 2010. The company delivers maîtrise d'œuvre (lead-contractor) services across four integrated service lines: OPC (project scheduling, management and coordination), AMO (client advisory assistance), Économie de la construction (construction economics and cost control), and DET (works direction/supervision). Its core technology stack centers on Building Information Modeling (BIM) using REVIT and Attic for 3D modeling, data sharing, and integrated project delivery — competencies that the firm explicitly markets as part of its "BIM 2.0" practice.

Procobat serves public-sector clients (collectivités), social housing providers (bailleurs sociaux), property developers (promoteurs), large corporations, and institutional investors. Its client base spans government bodies (e.g., Ville de Villeurbanne, Santé Publique France, CAPI), financial institutions (Crédit Agricole Centre France), and major real-estate developers (Bouygues Immobilier). Average construction project values exceed €6 million, with flagship projects ranging up to €71.5 million HT (Crédit Agricole HQ reconstruction). The firm co-founded the QUADRIPLUS Groupe consortium with COGECI and KATENE cooperatives, through which a significant portion of its larger public-sector and environmentally certified (e.g., BEPOS) missions are delivered.

The firm's revenue model is project-based professional services fees, typically structured as a percentage of construction cost or fixed multi-year project fees, with no publicly disclosed pricing tiers. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales via tenders and private RFPs across France, concentrated in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes but extending along the Lille-Paris-Lyon-Marseille corridor. The firm holds Opqibi qualifications across planning/coordination, AMO, cost control, and interior/structural trade studies. With approximately 15 engineers and technicians — all eligible to become associates under the SCOP structure — Procobat operates as a small, worker-owned specialist rather than a scaled platform.
