What BRIAND SAS does

BRIAND SAS is a French general building contractor (Entreprise Générale de Bâtiment) founded in 1986 and headquartered in Villiers-sur-Marne, Val-de-Marne. The firm delivers construction, renovation, and rehabilitation services across four core trades: structural work (gros œuvre), masonry, tiling, and joinery/carpentry, the last operated through its wholly-owned subsidiary SARL BRIAND MENUISERIE (created May 2011) and supported by affiliate SAS CENI. It holds multiple QUALIBAT certifications (2112, 2121, 6311, 4322, 3811, 7131), QUALIBAT RGE qualification (since 2015), and a PASSIVHAUS certification (achieved 2013-2014 on the Crèche Moulin de Beauté in Nogent-sur-Marne). An in-house engineering bureau uses AUTOCAD and ONAYA (BATIPRIX) estimating software, and the headquarters includes a 2,000 m² materials warehouse supporting an owned equipment fleet.

The company operates a project-based, sales-led go-to-market, bidding on French public procurement tenders and negotiating directly with private clients. Revenue is split approximately 75% public sector and 25% private. Public-sector clients include RATP (station renovations, recurring since 2003 with a formal quality distinction), Société du Grand Paris (€13.5M ML3 maintenance-site contract for Line 15 of Grand Paris Express, 2023), Conseil Départemental du Val de Marne, Conseil Régional d'Île-de-France, and a roster of municipalities across Val-de-Marne, Hauts-de-Seine, Seine-Saint-Denis, and Yvelines. Private-sector clients include BNP Paribas, IKEA, NEXITY Saggel, and SANOFI. The firm also operates an ASTREINTE 24/7 emergency-intervention service for schools and administrative buildings (since 1990).

The firm is privately held as a Société par Actions Simplifi ée registered in Créteil, with no disclosed parent, external investment, or M&A activity. Customer acquisition channels are primarily direct sales, public tender participation, and reputation-driven referrals, with limited digital marketing. Notable recognition includes the Prix Moniteur de la Construction 2020 for the Île-de-France region.
