ALISEA - Bureau d'étude

What ALISEA - Bureau d'étude does

ALISEA Environnement is an independent French bureau d'études (consulting and engineering firm) founded in 2003 and headquartered in Versailles, Yvelines. The firm provides professional services in ecology and sustainable development, with a core team of six specialists — two founding co-directors (Benoît Abraham, ingénieur d'étude biogéographe with 19 years tenure; Sébastien Davoust, ingénieur écologue with 17 years tenure) plus four engineers and technicians covering botany, GIS, fauna, and wetland science.

The service portfolio spans environmental impact assessments for urban projects and ICPE-classified installations, biodiversity and habitat inventories, wetland delineation using pedological and floristic criteria, Natura 2000 incidence notices, environmental audits and certification support across ISO 14001, BREEAM, HQE, EFFINATURE, EVE, PEFC, and the proprietary EquuRES label, plus Agenda 21, PLU/SCOT environmental components, construction monitoring, and municipal biodiversity atlases. Core technology relies on professional GIS software (ARCGIS, QGIS) for cartographic output and field observation equipment for biodiversity surveying; no software product or platform is sold.

The business model is project-based professional services revenue with quote-based, non-publicly-disclosed pricing and multi-year contract cadence. Customers are segmented across three vertical groups — local and territorial authorities (municipalities, regional councils), private enterprises (ICPE operators, companies seeking certification), and associations — with two segments flagged primary. Distribution is direct, supplemented by referrals and visibility through the Cap Environnement multidisciplinary skills network, the Union Professionnel de Génie Ecologique, and the Syndicat CINOV TEN, plus an ongoing role conducting certification audits on behalf of Ecocert Environnement.
