BRB Construction

What BRB Construction does

BRB Construction (SAS BRB Construction) is a privately held French general contractor founded in 2003 by François Blondeau and headquartered in Vénissieux, in the Lyon metropolitan area. With 21 employees and a €250,000 share capital, the firm specializes in the rehabilitation, renovation, and new construction of industrial, functional, and luxury retail buildings. Its service portfolio comprises four interconnected lines: Curage/Déconstruction/Démolition (interior stripping and diamond-tipped demolition), Maçonnerie/Gros œuvre (structural masonry and load-bearing modifications), Bâtiment modulaire (prefabricated modular construction), and Entreprise générale (general contracting and all-trades coordination). The firm differentiates through specialized techniques such as diamond-tipped cutting and all-electric equipment that enable low-nuisance work in operational or sensitive environments.

The company's business model is project-based and transactionally oriented, with contract values ranging from approximately €40,000 (boutique interior fit-outs) to €1.3-1.6M (large industrial or military VRD projects). Revenue is generated through direct enterprise field sales, with no intermediary channels, standardized pricing tiers, or digital distribution. The client base spans public-sector and enterprise customers across defense (Ministère des Armées), healthcare (Hospices Civils de Lyon, Clinique de La Sauvegarde), banking (Crédit Agricole), luxury retail (Isabel Marant), education (EM Lyon, Lycée Lafayette), and manufacturing (Renault Trucks/Volvo, FAUN Environnement, Poncin Metal), with geographic operations concentrated in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes and Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur.

BRB Construction relies on a curated network of trade and engineering partners (OCTOPUS Studio, ACTIMODUL, NOVEKA, IDÉUM Partners, ARTELIA) to deliver turnkey general contracting without in-house design capacity. The firm grew primarily through organic expansion, opening its Auvergne agency in 2017 under the direction of Thomas Méney (appointed 2019). Revenue is not publicly disclosed, and the company has not raised external funding, executed acquisitions, or developed proprietary technology beyond specialized craft techniques.
