What MAISONSCBI does

Maisons CBI is a French residential house construction company founded in 1986 and operated as a subsidiary of OBATY GROUP, a diversified construction holding headquartered in Paris. The company designs, builds, and delivers custom and semi-custom individual single-family homes, primarily serving families, couples, and first-time buyers in the Brittany and Pays de la Loire regions, with extension into Île-de-France since 2019 through a Villejuif agency. Maisons CBI employs approximately 180 collaborators and operates a network of 9 local agencies across Loire-Atlantique, Morbihan, Ille-et-Vilaine, and Île-de-France, supported by an in-house construction capability inherited from the CBI Gros Œuvre structural-works division.

The company's product offering combines a portfolio of standardized house models (ALS 1, ALS 2, AP 14, AP 17, AP 20, and AR series, ranging from 102 m² to 141 m² with three to five bedrooms) with a fully bespoke design service. All homes are built to comply with the French RE2020 environmental regulation. Maisons CBI also provides land-search assistance across six departments and bundles Maison+Terrain combined packages, which integrate plot acquisition with house construction at prices ranging from approximately €171,200 for entry-level configurations to over €340,000 for premium homes, with combined packages reaching €363,000.

Revenue is generated primarily through one-time project fees on each home delivered, with payments scheduled across the construction lifecycle. The go-to-market is sales-led via the physical agency network, a toll-free inbound line, regional trade-show presence (Salon Viving, Salon Habitat & Immobilier), and a content-marketing website; marketing efforts are reinforced through community sponsorships (Jazz au Pays de Redon, RCV Rugby Club Vannes) and verified third-party customer reviews via Opinion System. The company states it has delivered nearly 8,000 homes cumulatively over its 40-year history.
