INCET

What INCET does

INCET (legal name: ING COORDINATION ETUDES TECHNIQUE) is a French privately held building engineering firm (maître d'œuvre) founded in 1994 and headquartered at 113 rue de Longchamp, 75116 Paris, France. The firm operates as an integrated multi-disciplinary bureau d'études techniques (BET), delivering technical studies across all building trades: structural engineering, climate/HVAC engineering (génie climatique), electrical engineering (génie électrique), environmental engineering, construction economics (économie), VRD infrastructure, catering/restaurant facility engineering, and project management. Its service offering is delivered as a single integrated package rather than as modular products, and a notable share of work is positioned around sustainable construction, with documented expertise in RE2020 compliance, biosourced materials, and certifications such as BREEAM (Excellent), NF Habitat HQE, E3C1/E3C2, BBC, and Bâtiment Durable Francilien.

INCET generates revenue through project-based professional services fees, competing for and being awarded contracts primarily via public procurement tenders and competitive bidding processes. Its customer base is concentrated in French public-sector project owners — regional and municipal governments, public hospitals (notably AP-HP), educational institutions (CROUS, Région Île-de-France school programs), and social housing operators (I3F, Seqens, Vallée Sud Habitat) — with a geographic focus on Île-de-France and selected projects across Normandie, Hauts-de-France, Centre-Val de Loire, and Nouvelle-Aquitaine. The firm works in repeated consortiums with major French construction primes (Spie batignolles, Léon Grosse, Eiffage Construction) and architecture practices (Brenac & Gonzalez, Architecture Studio, MOON SAFARI, Emmanuelle Colboc & Associés), and was ranked 51st by revenue in D'Architectures' top-200 ranking of French technical engineering offices for two consecutive years (2022, 2023). INCET has no disclosed external investors, parent company, or funding rounds, and is led by its founder Naji Salamé.

Direct peers

• Setec Bâtiment: Setec is a French multi-disciplinary engineering group with a building division (Setec Bâtiment) that delivers structural, HVAC, electrical, and environmental engineering as maître d'œuvre across France. Directly comparable to INCET in service scope, public-sector client base, and integrated all-trades BET model.
• Cabinet Merlin: Cabinet Merlin is a French independent BET specializing in structural, MEP, and environmental engineering for building and infrastructure projects. Closely comparable mid-sized French maître d'œuvre competing for similar public tenders in Île-de-France and beyond.
• Synapse Construction: Synapse Construction is a French BET/maître d'œuvre firm providing multi-disciplinary building engineering (structure, fluids, electricity, environmental) for public and private clients. Comparable mid-sized peer with similar all-trades BET positioning in the French market.

Broad incumbents

• Artelia Bâtiments: Artelia is a major French engineering group offering multi-disciplinary building engineering (structure, MEP, environmental) for public and private construction projects. Broader and larger than INCET but competes in the same maître d'œuvre tenders, particularly for public-sector projects.
• Egis Bâtiments: Egis is a large French engineering and consulting group with a building division providing structural, MEP, and environmental engineering services. Competes with INCET on public tenders but operates at a much larger scale across France and internationally.
• Ingérop: Ingérop is a French independent engineering group offering building, infrastructure, and environmental engineering. Closely comparable to INCET in service scope and public-sector focus, but larger in headcount and geographic reach.
• Tractebel (Engie Solutions): Tractebel, part of Engie, provides multi-disciplinary engineering consultancy for buildings, energy, and infrastructure across France and Europe. Comparable BET service offering for public-sector construction tenders; significantly larger scale.
• SOCOTEC Construction: SOCOTEC is a leading French TIC (Testing, Inspection, Certification) group with a construction division providing technical control, BREEAM/HQE certification support, and sustainability advisory. Adjacent peer due to shared certification expertise (BREEAM, NF Habitat HQE) that complements INCET's environmental engineering work.
• Bureau Veritas Construction: Bureau Veritas Construction provides technical inspection, certification, and sustainability advisory for French construction projects. Comparable to INCET in supporting RE2020, BREEAM, and HQE compliance, though positioned as TIC rather than maître d'œuvre.

Emerging players

• Ginger CEBTP: Ginger CEBTP is a French engineering group specializing in geotechnical, structural, and environmental engineering for building and infrastructure. Overlaps with INCET on environmental and structural engineering for public-sector projects but with a stronger geotechnical focus.
