What Baumert Constructions Métalliques does
Baumert Constructions Métalliques (BCM) is a French steel construction company headquartered in Erstein (Bas-Rhin), established as an independent entity in 1988 after operating as the metal framing division of Robert Baumert et Fils since 1978. The company designs, fabricates, and erects structural steelwork — including traditional beams, lattice trusses, and welded reconstituted profiles (PRS) — for new buildings, extensions, and rehabilitation/transformation projects across industrial, commercial, cultural, sports, education, healthcare, and residential segments. BCM operates from a 10,000 m² facility (9,000 m² of covered workshop plus 600 m² of design offices) with a rated production capacity of 5,500 tonnes per year, supported by an in-house design office of approximately 10 draughtsmen-projectors and calculators using 3D CAD/DAO directly linked to production, plus modern machining centers, shot blasting, water-based paints, and 375.03 kWp of rooftop solar capacity. The firm holds Qualibat 2413 (Technicité supérieure) and CE Marking EN 1090 EXC 1-3 certifications, enabling work on complex projects including large-span industrial halls, heritage restoration, and infrastructure such as the EDF Rhinau fish passage.
BCM operates as a B2B project-based business with direct enterprise sales to project owners, architects, and general contractors, geographic coverage spanning all of metropolitan France through its Erstein headquarters and Rhône-Alpes agencies in Lyon (Genas) and Grenoble (Domène). Revenue mechanics are dominated by one-off construction contracts priced per tonne of steel with project-specific complexity premia; the firm is a SARL owned by SOPREMA Entreprises since 2006, benefiting from cross-referrals within the group's waterproofing and building-envelope activities. Its enterprise customer base includes Alstom, SEW USOCOME, Lilly France, Octapharma, Rational Wittenheim, Gaumont Pathé, EDF, Auchan-Immochan, the City of Strasbourg, and SNCF-adjacent heritage restorations (BNU Strasbourg, Palais de Justice Strasbourg). Differentiated execution capabilities include BIM-augmented delivery (BIM d'Argent 2022 award, 70% BIM-modeled on the Compagnons du Devoir Strasbourg training center), and turnkey scope spanning engineering studies, fabrication, welding, painting (including intumescent coatings), and on-site assembly.
