B&M Structure is a metal and wood construction company headquartered in Sainte-Marie, La Réunion, a French overseas department in the Indian Ocean. Founded in 2005, the company designs, fabricates, and installs structural framing, roofing, cladding, metalwork, and façade solutions for new construction and renovation projects across La Réunion. It operates an internal engineering office (BET) with engineers and drafters, alongside owned fabrication and bending workshops, enabling integrated design-build delivery without subcontractor dependency.

The company's offering is organized into five core service lines: Charpente Métallique (metal structural framing), Couverture (roofing), Métallerie (metalwork including guardrails, stairs, gates), Bardage (exterior cladding in fibrocement, metal sheet, composite wood, and polycarbonate), and Pôle Bois (wood construction including laminated timber framing and mixed metal-wood structures). It handles projects up to 3.5 million euros, ranging from small residential jobs to large industrial and public works.

B&M Structure generates revenue through project-based construction contracts with a sales-led go-to-market model. Technical sales representatives are deployed by geographic sector to serve customers ranging from private individuals to industrial groups. Pricing is quote-based with no publicly disclosed tiers, and contracts can span multiple years. The customer base spans enterprise construction firms (Groupe GBH, GTOI, SOGEA, Leon Grosse), social housing operators (Sodiac, SIDR, Semac), public-sector clients (La Région Réunion, CCI, schools, stadiums), and commercial brands (Hyundai, Quick, Cité des Arts). B&M Structure operates as a subsidiary of Groupe BMS, a multidisciplinary construction group that also includes TSR (roof maintenance, founded 2008) and CRC (all-trades construction). Annual revenue is stated at 11 million euros with 75 collaborators, as referenced in 2019 company materials.

Expansion highlights3 records

Broad incumbents

• Spie Batignolles: Independent French construction group active in building, infrastructure, and metal works with a presence in overseas territories — comparable as a broad incumbent competing for nonresidential construction tenders in B&M Structure's territory.
• Eiffage Construction: Major French construction group with significant overseas territory presence and capabilities across metal framing, roofing, and general building — competes for the same nonresidential and public-sector projects as B&M Structure on La Réunion.
• Léon Grosse: Large diversified French general contractor active in building, civil works, and metal construction, and a listed reference customer of B&M Structure. Comparable as a broad incumbent that competes for the same large public and industrial tenders.
• SOGEA (Vinci Construction): Vinci Construction subsidiary covering general building and infrastructure in France and overseas territories, including La Réunion. Comparable as a broad incumbent working across the same construction verticals B&M Structure serves.

Others

• TSR - Toitures Services Réunion: Sister subsidiary within Groupe BMS specialized in roof maintenance and repairs on La Réunion. Functionally complementary to B&M Structure's new-build roofing business and shares the same parent group and customer base on the island.
• ArcelorMittal Construction: Supplier of steel construction materials and prefabricated building systems, and a reference partner of B&M Structure. Adjacent ecosystem participant rather than direct competitor, but its systems and cladding products intersect with B&M's metal roofing and bardage offerings.

Direct peers

• Groupe Briand: Major French multi-metal construction group covering steel framing, roofing, cladding, and metalwork with own engineering and fabrication capabilities — a close functional analogue to B&M Structure across all five core service lines.
• Poirier Construction Métallique: French metal construction contractor offering charpente, couverture, bardage, and métallerie for industrial and commercial buildings — comparable scope and customer segments to B&M Structure, though operating on the French mainland.
• Charpentes Métalliques de France (CMF): French metal structural framing specialist focused on charpente métallique for industrial, commercial, and public buildings — overlaps directly with B&M Structure's core charpente and couverture offerings for nonresidential construction.
• Baudin Chateauneuf: Historic French metal construction and structural engineering specialist with own fabrication workshops, active across charpente métallique, couverture, and métallerie — directly comparable to B&M Structure's integrated offering, though operating at national rather than island scale.
