BET ICEBA

What BET ICEBA does

BET ICEBA is a French independent structural engineering consultancy founded in 1995, headquartered in Verson (Calvados) in the Normandy region. The firm specializes in reinforced concrete (béton armé) structural design and delivers engineering services across eleven building categories — housing, offices, public facilities, schools, gymnasiums, sports halls, retirement and nursing homes, hotels, and industrial/commercial buildings — covering new construction, renovation, extension, heavy rehabilitation, and structural diagnostics. With over 30 years of operation and 5,000+ completed projects, ICEBA serves property developers, architects, construction firms, and public-sector clients, with named engagements spanning ORANO, EDF, DIOR, ALDI, LIDL, LECLERC, CARREFOUR, Conseil Général du Calvados, CAISSE D'EPARGNE, SEDELKA, and FONTA.

The firm operates with a small team of approximately 10–11 staff — three structural engineers (graduates of École Centrale Nantes and BUILDERS Caen), five CAD technicians, and two administrative staff — under sole director (gérant) Christophe ROCHOIS. ICEBA's technology stack is conventional structural-engineering software: GRAITEC ARCHE/ADVANCE for reinforced concrete calculation, AutoCAD for 2D drafting, Revit for BIM modeling, and DOCUWARE for document management, all on 2026-version releases, alongside SAGE for accounting. The firm has invested in digital client delivery via depot.iceba.fr, a dedicated document-exchange portal.

ICEBA is organized as a SARL with €72,000 in capital and generates revenue through project-based professional-services fees for structural calculations, frame and foundation sizing, diagnostics, and project-management assistance (AMO/MOA). It operates primarily in the Calvados/Normandy region with no disclosed geographic expansion beyond that footprint. There is no public disclosure of revenue or financial performance, no funding history, and no M&A activity; recent activity is limited to technology refresh, website and portal launch, and ecosystem engagement with prefabrication suppliers such as KP1.

Core offering

ICEBA is an independent engineering consultancy specializing in reinforced concrete (Béton Armé) structural engineering for buildings and civil engineering works. The firm provides conception, execution, and technical assistance services to property developers, architects/project managers, construction companies, and public entities, covering pre-dimensioning, structural optimization, formwork/reinforcement plans, prefabrication studies, seismic calculations, and structural diagnostics.

Product overview

ICEBA is an independent engineering consulting firm specializing in reinforced concrete (Béton Armé) for building and civil engineering projects. It is not a software product company but rather a professional services firm. The firm offers a structured portfolio of engineering services organized across the project lifecycle: conception (feasibility, pre-sizing, structural optimization, principle plans for tender), execution (formwork drawings, reinforcement plans, prefabrication studies, seismic calculations), and technical assistance/expertise (structural diagnostics, consulting). Services are delivered for a wide variety of project categories including housing/logements, commercial premises, offices, healthcare facilities, education, public facilities, sports & leisure, production/storage, civil engineering, and individual houses. A notable supplementary offering is the client-facing 'Plateforme Iceba' (depot.iceba.fr) file-delivery portal, enabling electronic document exchange with clients.

Broad incumbents

• Egis: Major French engineering group with a structural engineering practice covering buildings, transport, and energy infrastructure. Comparable to ICEBA as a structural design provider but operates across France and globally with a far broader multidisciplinary portfolio.
• Ginger Group: French engineering group with structural diagnostics, construction, and infrastructure practices — closely adjacent to ICEBA's expertise in concrete structures, structural diagnostics, and seismic assessment, but operating at national scale.
• Setec: Independent French engineering group whose setec bâtiment division is well known for complex structural concrete design on major French projects. Directly comparable to ICEBA on the structural-engineering core but at vastly larger scale and project size.
• Bureau Veritas: Global testing, inspection, and certification firm with significant French construction-services activity including structural assessment and code compliance. Adjacent to ICEBA's expertise mission and competes for some building owner / institutional mandates.
• SOCOTEC: Major French testing, inspection, and certification group with structural engineering and construction diagnostics services. Comparable to ICEBA on the structural-diagnostics mission but with a national branch network and broader TIC scope.
• Tractebel (ENGIE Solutions): International engineering consultancy with strong French operations delivering structural, civil, and energy-related engineering. Comparable to ICEBA in structural design scope but typically engaged on larger industrial and infrastructure projects.
• Artelia: Large French engineering and project management group with a Building & Cities division delivering structural design, MEP, and construction engineering. Overlaps with ICEBA in concrete structural design for buildings but serves a far larger and more diversified client base.
