What Auige does

AUIGE (legal entity SELAS A.U.I.G.E.) is a French regulated surveying firm (cabinet de Géomètres-Experts) operating across Nouvelle-Aquitaine. The firm was formally constituted in 2005 as a merger of predecessor liberal offices whose heritage dates to 1948 on the Bassin d'Arcachon, and is registered with the Ordre des Géomètres-Experts under the French law of May 7, 1946 — a regulatory monopoly that reserves legally binding boundary demarcation (bornage), cadastral modifications (DMPC), condominium documentation (EDD), and judicial land expertise to licensed practitioners. The firm employs 4 Géomètres-Experts associés (Fabien Marquette as Président, Simon Gourvez, Pierre De Juli, Charles Beyries) and 35 total collaborators across three agencies: La Teste-de-Buch (headquarters, Bassin d'Arcachon), Talence (Bordeaux Métropole), and Belin-Béliet (Sud Gironde / Val de l'Eyre). Targeted missions are also conducted in the Landes department and Paris.

The service portfolio spans ten domains organized around land (Foncier), topography, urban planning and land development (Urbanisme & Aménagement), condominium (Copropriété), volume division, integrated VRD infrastructure engineering (roads and utility networks), architectural surveys, and advanced measurement technologies — 3D laser scanning, drone photogrammetry, and BIM (Building Information Modeling) with georeferenced 3D modeling, sunlight studies, and virtual tours. Outputs are delivered in standard formats (DXF, DWG, IFC, E57, LAS/LAZ, PDF). The firm holds ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications, is a signatory to the Charte Bien Construire de Bordeaux Métropole since 2018, and preserves historical land archives from predecessor cabinets.

Revenue is generated through fee-for-service professional engagements on a project-based, pay-as-you-go model with free quotes. Typical bornage costs range €800-€2,500 HT depending on complexity; timelines vary from 2-8 weeks. The customer base spans nine segments — private individuals, notaries, architects, property developers, local governments, condominium managers, urban developers, lead contractors, and industrial companies — with sales led through direct contact, professional referrals, and geographic proximity across the three physical locations. No external capital, funding rounds, or non-associate ownership is present.

Core offering

Auige is a French cabinet of Géomètres-Experts providing land surveying, topographic, condominium (copropriété), urban-planning, and VRD (voirie et réseaux divers) engineering services across Nouvelle-Aquitaine. The firm combines traditional boundary demarcation (bornage) with 3D measurement capabilities (laser scanning, drone photogrammetry, BIM) to deliver land-development and property-documentation deliverables for individuals, notaries, architects, developers, and public-sector clients.

Product overview

AUIGE is a professional surveying firm (cabinet de Géomètres-Experts) offering a comprehensive portfolio of land, topographic, and property services across 10 complementary domains. The core offerings include Foncier (land and boundary services like Bornage, Division parcellaire, DMPC), Topographie (surveys and mapping), Copropriété (condominium management including EDD and modificatifs), and advanced technology services (Scanner laser 3D, BIM, Drone & Photogrammétrie). The portfolio is structured around 4 associated surveyors and 35 collaborators across 3 agencies in Nouvelle-Aquitaine. Key service chains include: land subdivision combining Bornage, Division parcellaire, and DMPC; condominium services from creation (Mise en copropriété, EDD) through modifications (Modificatif de copropriété); and technology-enabled services delivering 3D point clouds, BIM models, and orthophotographs. Deliverables are provided in standard formats (DXF, DWG, IFC, E57, PDF) rather than via API integration.

Problem solved

Functional benefit

Products and services

• Bornage (boundary demarcation) Definitive, legally binding survey and marking of property boundaries, delivered by a registered Géomètre-Expert. Used by private owners, notaries, and developers to formalize, divide, or contest land parcels.
• Topographic surveys (topographie) Topometric measurement and plan production describing natural and built features of a parcel, used as a base layer for architects, developers, and construction projects.
• Condominium documentation (copropriété) Production of condominium plans, état descriptif de division, and millième tables used by syndics, notaries, and developers to register and administer multi-unit buildings.
• Urban planning support (urbanisme) Surveying-led inputs into urban-planning dossiers, including parcel dimensions, plans, and regulatory checks for local authorities, developers, and private owners.
• VRD engineering (voirie et réseaux divers) Engineering design for roads, utilities, drainage, and grading within subdivision and development projects. Combined with Auige's surveying capability to deliver design-construct documents to developers and municipalities.
• 3D laser scanning High-density 3D capture of buildings and sites for as-built documentation, BIM integration, and complex renovation projects. Serves architects, developers, and public-sector clients.
• Drone photogrammetry Aerial photogrammetric capture producing orthophotos, digital surface models, and topographic bases for larger parcels, subdivisions, and VRD projects.

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Egis: Major French engineering group with land surveying, urban planning, and infrastructure capabilities across building, transport, and environment. Broad incumbent offering overlapping surveying/VRD services as part of a wider portfolio rather than AUIGE's niche focus.
• Ingérop: French engineering group with significant surveying and infrastructure capabilities (and a stake in Géofit). Competes for VRD, urban planning, and developer mandates in Nouvelle-Aquitaine and beyond.
• Artelia: Large French engineering and project management group active in building, infrastructure, and urban development. Competes with AUIGE in VRD and urban planning mandates but operates at much larger scale across multiple geographies.
• Setec: French engineering group covering infrastructure, buildings, and urban projects with surveying-adjacent services. Competes with AUIGE on developer and public-sector infrastructure mandates.
• Tractebel (ENGIE): Engineering and consulting firm under ENGIE group active in energy, urban, and infrastructure projects. Overlaps with AUIGE in urban planning and VRD engineering for large infrastructure clients.

Others

• Sogelink: French software and data provider for construction, surveying, and infrastructure professionals (land/utility cadastre, network detection). Adjacent technology partner/ecosystem player rather than a direct surveying service competitor.

Direct peers

• Géofit: French surveying and geomatics firm offering topographic surveys, 3D scanning, drone photogrammetry, BIM, and land services. Direct competitor to AUIGE in the surveying/geomatic service category with overlapping technology stack and client base.
