The Soderec

What The Soderec does

The Soderec is a French professional services firm specializing in independent project management assistance (Assistance à Maîtrise d'Ouvrage, AMO) for real estate construction, renovation, and rehabilitation projects. Founded in 1978 as Société d'études et de réalisations pour les équipements collectifs, the firm serves public and private property owners (maîtres d'ouvrage) across six sectors: healthcare, social/medico-social, tertiary/institutional, culture/sports-leisure, education/research, and housing. Core service lines include AMO advisory, Conduite d'Opération (project execution management), Mandat de Maîtrise d'Ouvrage Délégué (delegated full management), Programmation et Études Préalables (feasibility and programming), and Solutions Immobilières (integrated delivery with financing and building holding). The firm operates through nine regional agencies across France (Paris headquarters plus Bordeaux, Clermont-Ferrand, Lyon, Montbéliard, Montpellier, Nancy, Nantes, Strasbourg) and a multidisciplinary team of approximately 30 professionals spanning project management, engineering, architecture, economics, and law. As a wholly-owned subsidiary of Crédit Mutuel Group, Soderec maintains explicit independence from designers, constructors, and technical controllers, and combines a 45-year track record (1,000+ completed operations) with the balance-sheet stability of its banking parent. Revenue is generated through project-based professional services fees that are not publicly disclosed; pricing is determined per engagement based on scope, complexity, and required deliverables. Distribution is direct to clients via agency-based field engagement and digital marketing through the corporate website, with no third-party resellers or channel partners.
