What 3CS - Modélisation Revit - Plans techniques does

3CS is a French BIM (Building Information Modeling) engineering services firm founded in 2017 and headquartered in Paris. The firm provides multi-discipline Revit-based modeling, 3D scanning (scan-to-BIM), BIM coordination and pilotage, BIM consulting/audit, and specialized engineering calculations (structural design per Eurocodes and pipe-stress/flexibility analysis per CODETI, EN, ASME). It serves enterprise construction and real estate developers, engineering and architecture firms, facility managers, and industrial clients (energy, oil & gas, pharma), embedding its specialists into client project teams for the duration of engagements without requiring clients to hire internally.

The core technology stack is Autodesk Revit for modeling, Navisworks for coordination and clash detection, AutoCAD for production deliverables, IFC for open-BIM exchange, and Trimble-based point cloud capture for scan-to-BIM workflows. The firm is a certified Autodesk partner since founding, holds Agrément Innovation 2022-2026, is ISO 19650-aligned, is a registered training organization, and is a member and sponsor of buildingSMART and La French Fab. Since 2017 it has delivered 150+ projects totaling 3M+ m² modeled, with reference clients including Roland Garros, Palais de Justice de Paris, LVMH, Tour Saint Gobain, ENGIE, BNP Paribas, Novo Nordisk, and Telehouse.

The business model is project-based professional services sold through direct B2B engagement. Revenue is generated per project or per phase, with no long-term client commitment required and no public pricing. Go-to-market is sales-led, direct, supported by a content asset (BIMFLIX YouTube channel) and a strategic scanning partner (BIMLEMAN). The company is privately held, founder-owned (Anthony EPAILLARD, Clément GUERIN), with €10,000 capital and operates exclusively in France.

Core offering

3CS provides BIM engineering services for building construction projects, structured around four axes: BIM modeling (Modélisation BIM), 3D laser scanning (Scan 3D), BIM coordination/management (Pilotage BIM), and BIM consulting (Consulting BIM). The firm covers all trades and all project phases (DIAG, ESQ, APS, APD, PRO, DCE), including structural and flexibility calculations, synthesis, and 3D laser scans.

Product overview

3CS is a French BIM services bureau offering a portfolio of integrated services centered on multi-trade 3D modeling (Revit-based), 3D scanning, BIM coordination/management, BIM consulting, and engineering calculations. The core offering is Modélisation BIM (multi-lot BIM modeling), which is complemented by Scan 3D (point cloud to BIM conversion), Pilotage BIM (project coordination), Consulting BIM (audit and support), and two specialized engineering studies: Calcul de Structure (structural calculations) and Calcul de Flexibilité (pipe stress analysis). The subsidiary educational platform BIMFLIX provides BIM knowledge content.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Artelia: French-headquartered engineering consultancy with significant Building Information Modeling, structural, and MEP capabilities — competes for the same French and European project owners and developers.
• Egis: Large international engineering and consulting firm headquartered near Paris with substantial BIM modeling, structural, and MEP engineering practices — a broad incumbent whose service lines overlap with 3CS's specialty offerings.
• setec bâtiment: Major French engineering group with a dedicated BIM/digital practice covering modeling, coordination, and structural/MEP studies — overlaps with 3CS but operates at much larger scale and broader portfolio.
• GRAITEC: French-headquartered BIM and structural engineering software/services firm; while primarily a software vendor, it also delivers structural calculation and BIM implementation services that overlap with 3CS's engineering study offerings.

Direct peers

• ATIXIS: French engineering firm specialized in BIM consulting, modeling, and digital construction management — closely comparable in offering, customer base, and project-based services model.
• ABCO Group: French BIM and digital engineering services firm providing BIM modeling, synthesis, and project management across building trades — a head-to-head peer for 3CS in the French BIM services market.
• Hexa Ingénierie: French BIM engineering consulting firm offering multi-discipline BIM modeling, coordination, and consulting services to construction and real estate clients — directly overlapping 3CS's core service portfolio in the French market.

Emerging players

• BIM World: French BIM community and event/media platform that promotes and connects BIM service providers — not a direct services competitor but a comparable ecosystem player shaping the French BIM services market.

Others

• Autodesk (Autodesk Consulting): Software platform vendor behind Revit/Navisworks/AutoCAD that 3CS builds on and is certified with; also offers its own BIM implementation services that can compete with boutique partners like 3CS.
• Trimble (Tekla / Sketch): Provider of the 3D scanning hardware (via BIMLEMAN partnership) and broader BIM/structural software stack that 3CS relies on — adjacent technology enabler rather than competitor.
