Leximpact Group

What Leximpact Group does

Groupe LEXIMPACT is a Lyon-headquartered, family-owned technical building diagnostics firm founded in 2001 by Elodie and Frédéric CAZE. The company delivers three integrated service pillars: (1) technical building diagnostics covering asbestos detection before work and demolition, Technical Asbestos Files (DTA), lead risk assessment, energy performance, electrical/gas, termite, and specialized waste/material diagnostics (HAP in road asphalts, demolition waste, machefer classification); (2) property condition reporting (état des lieux) and transaction diagnostics bundled with 360° virtual tours for the rental and real estate markets; and (3) 3D scanning and BIM-ready modeling — including point cloud digitization, Revit/AutoCAD/IFC-compatible digital twins, drone-based roof inspection, and ASTM E1155 floor flatness assessment. Its technology stack combines 3D laser scanners, Pix4D cloud hosting, the edlApp mobile application for field data capture, and integration with Meilleure Visite for virtual tour delivery.

The firm serves a diversified enterprise and institutional client base including CNR, EDF, KEM ONE, Egis, COGEDIM, Kaufman & Broad, AXA, and government/heritage bodies (SNPB, Ville de Chaource). It positions itself as a strategic advisor on asbestos risk and BIM-enabled renovation planning rather than a transactional diagnostic provider, with 7 Mention-certified asbestos operators (a credential mandatory only from January 2020) and MASE certification (Certificate No. RA 2019-461) granting access to SEVESO-classified industrial sites. Revenue is generated through per-engagement professional services fees with no public pricing; the go-to-market blends enterprise field sales for complex multi-stakeholder projects with a self-serve online ordering channel for property condition reports. As of 2019-2020, the firm reported revenue exceeding €3 million with 30 collaborators and a stated objective to double activity within 3 years via 3D technology innovation and geographic expansion from Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes into national France.

Revenue model

1. Technical Building Diagnostics: Core revenue stream encompassing asbestos detection (before work/demolition), DTA (Technical Asbestos File), lead risk assessment, energy performance diagnostics, electrical and gas installation diagnostics, and termite inspections for both rental and transaction contexts.
2. 3D Scanning and Digitalization Services: 3D point cloud capture, BIM-ready modeling, virtual tours, and clash detection analysis. Billed as professional services for architectural, engineering, and heritage preservation projects.
3. Property Inventory and Condition Reporting: Entry/exit property condition reports (état des lieux) for rental properties, combining on-site technician inspection, photographic documentation, virtual tour, and damage assessment for deposit dispute resolution.
4. Asbestos Advisory and Consulting: Pre-decision asbestos consulting that enables clients to factor asbestos risk during project planning phases, prior to formal diagnostic requirements. Offered as a value-add advisory to avoid budget overruns during construction.
5. Specialized Waste and Material Diagnostics: HAP (PAH) in road asphalts, waste diagnostics for demolition, asbestos in road materials, and mâchefer (incinerator ash) categorization — compliance-driven services for industrial and public-sector clients.
