What Untec Services does

Untec Services is the commercial services subsidiary of UNTEC (Union Nationale des Economistes de la Construction), France's national professional body for construction cost economists. Founded in 2017 and headquartered in Paris at 74 rue de la Fédération (75015), the company operates the EconomieConstruction.com portal and provides integrated professional services — training, software, events, and partnership programs — to construction cost economists, masters of work, architects, and industrial manufacturers across the French construction sector. The firm employs approximately 7 people and serves a national French market exclusively, with no disclosed geographic expansion beyond France.

The company's core technology is the MeTod software suite, a proprietary digital environment for construction cost estimation comprising three modules: ANTICIP (feasibility cost estimation generating virtual projects from construction standards), ESTIMA (cost forecasting and optimization grounded in the UNTEC Method), and GESTIONA (life-cycle cost comparison and global cost analysis). The UNTEC Method underpinning these tools has been refined over 30+ years and is purpose-built for French regulatory frameworks (RE2020 environmental regulation, public procurement law, accessibility standards). Complementing the software, Untec Services operates a MOOC e-learning platform (formation.economieconstruction.com) with 8 courses covering BIM, life-cycle analysis, accessibility, global cost, and energy efficiency, alongside instructor-led classroom and remote training programs, WebTech webinars, and the annual 48th Congress of UNTEC. A separate OPCC (Observatoire Permanent des Coûts de la Construction), operated in partnership with CCI Hauts-de-Seine, provides exclusive construction cost statistics across 11 major families and 40 building categories, packaged into market studies for industrial partners.

Revenue is generated across four streams: (1) software subscriptions for MeTod with free 1-month trials for ANTICIP/ESTIMA and GESTIONA free for UNTEC members; (2) professional training fees eligible for OPCO Atlas and FIFPL financing under QUALIOPI certification; (3) tiered corporate partnership programs (Partenaire Plus, Silver, Gold, Platine) sold to industrial manufacturers seeking prescriber access; and (4) event registration and sponsorship revenue from the annual congress and webinars. The go-to-market motion is community-led and event-driven, leveraging the UNTEC membership network, an inside sales team led by a Directeur du Développement, and digital channels (website, LinkedIn with 2,463 followers, X with 799 followers, YouTube, and the 'Les Entretiens de l'Untec' podcast).

Direct peers

• Onaya: French construction cost estimation and quantity takeoff software aimed at construction economists and contractors. Direct overlap with MeTod's cost estimation and feasibility functionality for the same French-speaking professional buyer.
• ProGBAT: French construction estimating and project management software serving small and mid-sized construction firms. Comparable product overlap in cost estimation, with similar SMB-focused GTM in the French market.
• ATTIC+: French construction software publisher (formerly PSA BTP) providing estimating, site management, and cost control tools. Competes directly with MeTod for the same construction economist and project management buyer.
• BatiScript: French estimating and construction economics software targeting cost economists and contractors. Direct functional overlap with MeTod's feasibility and cost estimation modules.

Regional players

• CYPE Ingenieros: Spanish construction software publisher offering cost estimation, BIM, and structural tools. Comparable in product scope to MeTod but serving the Iberian market rather than France directly.
• Constructiv: Belgian construction sector training and services organization with a comparable mission of professional development for construction trades. Regional analogue to UNTEC's training mandate, but operating in Belgium.

Broad incumbents

• Sage: Global ERP and accounting software vendor with construction-industry modules and French-market presence. Competes at the broader financial/project management layer rather than specialized cost economics.
• Autodesk Construction Cloud: Global BIM and construction technology platform including Revit, BIM 360, and cost management functionality. A potential disruptor at the BIM-to-cost interface relevant to Untec's economist buyer.

Others

• CINOV: French federation for consulting, engineering, and training firms. Provides professional training, events, and representation that partially overlap Untec's training and community-led GTM.
• FFB (Fédération Française du Bâtiment): French national federation representing building contractors and trades. Adjacent industry body with overlapping training and events activity for the French construction ecosystem.
