What Bb Studies does

SIB ETUDES is a French structural engineering consultancy headquartered in Wolfisheim (Strasbourg agglomeration), France, with a secondary office in Sarrebourg, Lorraine. Founded in 1984 and operating for over 40 years, the firm is structured as a SARL (société à responsabilité limitée) with €400,000 in capital. It specializes in structural engineering studies for reinforced concrete and steel buildings, serving both public sector project owners (via marchés publics) and private sector clients across five verticals: rehabilitation, industrial and tertiary, housing, functional buildings, and hospitality. The firm employs approximately 20 people, organized as four co-managers (Stéphane Thomas, Mathieu Wach, Eric Thiefaine, Anthony Soudier), 14 designers/projeteurs, and 2 administrative assistants.

The firm's core technical capability is built around BIM (Building Information Modeling) methodology, adopted in 2016 using Strakon software (developed by DICAD) and Autodesk Revit, with IFC format interoperability for collaborative 3D design with architects, fluid engineers, and economists. Service offerings span the full project lifecycle: preliminary studies, detailed execution studies (formwork plans, reinforcement plans, steel bar lists), structural diagnostics and expertise, construction supervision, and project owner assistance. Notable enterprise and government clients include KUHN, SEW-USOCOME, Les Grands Chais de France, Jungbunzlauer, SDEA, and multiple municipalities across Alsace and Lorraine, with project values ranging from €1.8M to €15M in construction scope.

SIB ETUDES generates revenue through project-specific professional services engagements on a quote-based pricing model, with billing tied to multi-year contracts and project milestones. The go-to-market is sales-led, relying primarily on co-traitance partnerships with regional architectural firms and direct engagement with public and private project owners. The firm is privately held by its four co-managers with no external investors, has no disclosed funding history, and is recognized through regional industry awards including the BIM d'Argent 2022, Prix Envirobat Grand EST 2023, and Prix Construire Acier 2016. Its primary geographic footprint remains Alsace and Lorraine, with occasional out-of-region industrial engagements.
