What CHARPENTE HOUOT does

CHARPENTE HOUOT is a privately held French carpentry and structural construction company headquartered in Sainte-Marguerite (Grand Est), with a workforce of 34 employees. The company executes building projects across a horizontally diversified set of typologies — healthcare facilities (Bâtiments de Santé), commercial centers, restaurants, sports and leisure venues, industrial/logistics buildings, educational facilities, and residential housing (Habitat Logements), with residential flagged as the primary segment via the Résidence Quai Carnot Saint-Dié project. Recent project documentation also includes landmark/iconic builds (Chantiers Emblématiques), positioning the firm as a multi-sector regional contractor rather than a vertical specialist.

The core technology is conventional carpentry and structural construction: the firm delivers building shells, frames, and associated structural works for institutional, commercial, and residential clients. There is no proprietary software platform, no API, and no digital product layer disclosed. A newly introduced product line — self-ballasted solar carports (ombrières auto-lestée), first documented in February 2026 — extends the offering into renewable-energy-supporting infrastructure, indicating a forward move into adjacent environmental construction.

The business model is project-based, with direct engagement via tenders for commercial/institutional work and direct consultation for residential clients. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is likely scope-, material-, and typology-dependent. The company operates primarily in two French regions — Grand Est (home base) and Île-de-France (including a Paris 14e project in May 2026) — and markets itself through a project-portfolio website featuring categorized completed works. No funding rounds, M&A, partnerships, patents, or investor relationships are disclosed in the source data, and revenue figures are not publicly available.
