CETEC Ingénierie

What CETEC Ingénierie does

CETEC Ingénierie is a French privately held maître d'oeuvre and general engineering firm headquartered in Montbéliard (Bourgogne-Franche-Comté) and operating across four regional offices in Montbéliard, Belfort, Besançon and Mulhouse. Founded in 1968, the firm delivers multi-disciplinary engineering services across the full construction lifecycle — from feasibility studies through execution and facility-management handover. Its core technical capabilities span structural engineering (reinforced concrete, timber, steel, including seismic analysis), construction economics, Building Information Modeling (BIM Levels 1–3 with digital-twin handover), energy efficiency and environmental certification advisory (HQE, BREEAM, LEED, Habitat & Environnement, HPE/THPE, Effinergie+, RT 2012 -30%), project scheduling and coordination (OPC), and infrastructure/external works (VRD). CETEC holds OPQIBI professional qualification and pioneered BIM usage in Bourgogne/Franche-Comté on the Juraparc exhibition-centre project.

The firm's revenue model is fee-based professional services, billed per contract through public tenders and private developer commissions, with no subscription or standardised pricing disclosed. Project construction values range from a few million euros to €75M (IKEA Vedène forum), but CETEC's own fees represent a small percentage of construction value. Customers span four primary segments: public-sector buyers (Conseils Généraux, municipalities, Rectorat, hospitals), private developers and real-estate investors (Eiffage Immobilier, Inter IKEA Centre France, JPR Invest), corporate enterprises (Enedis, General Electric, Euroairport Bâle-Mulhouse, Super U), and industrial/logistics operators. Distribution is direct only — no resellers or intermediaries — with demand generation driven by project-portfolio marketing on the company website, local PR, and referrals from architecture and developer partners.

Go-to-market is sales-led and tender-driven; the firm competes on multi-disciplinary breadth (single-roof delivery from structural through OPC) and on regional proximity to North-East France buyers. Notable technical differentiators include Level-3 BIM integration through operations, seismic-zone modelling, and the MIA Strasbourg LED-architectural concrete project (700 LEDs, finite-element beam design) delivered in partnership with ALBIZZATI. The firm is privately held, with no disclosed ownership, funding, or M&A activity.
