What edwood construction bois does

Edwood Construction Bois, founded in April 2005 by carpenter Edouard Bisbrouck in Saint-André-lez-Lille (Hauts-de-France, France), is a privately held wood construction firm operating from its new workshop facility in La Madeleine (Lille metropolitan area). The company delivers custom wood construction projects across multiple techniques, including traditional timber framing (charpente traditionnelle), timber-metal hybrid structures, CLT panels, wood-frame construction (ossature bois), cladding, insulation, and decking. Its service portfolio spans single-family homes and extensions, private commercial buildings, collective housing, and public facilities such as schools, sports halls, and creative-economy venues.

The business runs on a project-based revenue model: each engagement is a custom build priced individually, sourced primarily through direct relationships with architects (engaged from project inception), public procurement (marchés publics), and direct inquiries from private individuals. Key reference clients include Métropole Européenne de Lille, Ville de Lille, Junia (engineering school), the Université Catholique de Lille, ARTEA Promotion, Boulanger, and Saint So Immo. Individual project budgets in the disclosed scope range from hundreds of thousands to over €1.4M HT (Vélo-station Valladolid bike station). With 40 employees (two-thirds carpenters) and 500+ projects completed since inception with zero damage claims, the firm combines in-house prefabrication, multi-technique expertise, and a Compagnons du Devoir apprenticeship pipeline to support its construction activity.

Commercially, Edwood has expanded its footprint beyond core construction into adjacent ecosystem activities: Le Chutier (wood waste reuse association, launched November 2025) and Sous la charpente (seminar space, launched May 2026) turn the workshop into a community and demonstration hub. Leadership is a three-person sibling team — Edouard Bisbrouck (Founder & Technical Director), Antoine Bisbrouck (Managing Director), and Charlotte Destombes (Communications Lead, joined 2022) — with no disclosed external investors and a stated capital of €15,740.

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Binderholz: European mass-timber and CLT manufacturer supplying glulam, cross-laminated timber, and structural components to construction firms. Comparable engineered wood product portfolio to what Edwood installs; relevant as a supplier-and-broad-incumbent reference.
• Piveteau Bois: Larger French engineered wood manufacturer (laminated lumber, panels, treated timber) supplying construction and industrial customers across Europe. Comparable material portfolio but operates primarily as a manufacturer rather than installer/builder.
• Stora Enso (Wood Products / CLT division): Major European engineered wood and CLT supplier serving construction customers across multiple segments. Overlaps with Edwood's CLT and engineered wood usage but operates at vastly larger scale across broad geographies.

Direct peers

• Ossabois: French wood-frame and CLT construction specialist offering prefabricated structural solutions for residential, collective housing, and public buildings. Highly comparable to Edwood in technique mix (ossature bois, CLT, prefabrication) and customer segments (promoteurs, collectivités, architects).
• Mathis Constructions Bois: French wood construction group active in charpente, ossature bois, and prefabricated timber frames. Comparable in multi-technique offering, focus on architects/collectivités, and mid-to-large scale public and residential projects in France.
• Simonin: French engineered wood manufacturer and builder (glulam, CLT, BLC) with both manufacturing and on-site installation capabilities. Comparable for its multi-product wood offering (charpente, structure bois/métal, panneaux) and project-based B2B model.
• Charpentes Houllier: French regional wood construction specialist delivering charpente, ossature bois, and related wood works for residential and public-sector clients. Comparable in service mix, customer profile, and regional-project orientation.

Emerging players

• Vestack: French CLT and modular wood construction startup focused on industrialized prefabricated buildings for residential and commercial clients. Overlaps with Edwood in CLT and prefabrication but takes a more productized/scalable approach.
