PERILLAT TRAVAUX PUBLICS

What PERILLAT TRAVAUX PUBLICS does

Perillat Travaux Publics (Perillat TP) is a third-generation, family-owned public works company headquartered at 300 Route de Villaz in Argonay, Haute-Savoie, France. Formally constituted as a SARL in 2003 with €300,000 share capital, the business traces its origins to Arthur Perillat's masonry firm in La Clusaz in the 1950s and was redirected into travaux publics by Claude Perillat in 1973. The company delivers an integrated suite of services covering earthmoving and piste construction, drone- and GPS-enabled topographical surveying (Class A georeferencing, sub-3cm precision with remote machine guidance deployed since 2009), dry/wet utility network installation including snow-making systems, soil treatment and stabilization, demolition, river works, blasting, on-site material recycling with GTR classification, and in-house transport.

The business model is project-based B2B, serving municipal clients (Grand Annecy under call-off contracts), utility operators (GRT Gaz gas network maintenance 2016-2019 in Savoie and Isère), and alpine ski resorts (Grand-Bornand 2019, La Clusaz 2007), supplemented by private developers such as the Les Tresums Annecy urban development (2016-2022). Pricing is quote-based on scope, terrain, and specifications, with revenue generated through one-time tenders and marchés à bons de commande. The company is capital-intensive relative to its size, operating a 70-tonne Caterpillar D10 T2 bulldozer, 10 eight-wheel-drive trucks, semi-trailers, low loaders, and mobile crushing equipment from its Argonay base, which also houses the recycling platform and a permanent GPS antenna.

The company is privately held across three generations of the Perillat family with no external institutional capital, no disclosed funding rounds, and no M&A history. Certifications include ISO 9001 (since 2010), ISO 14001 (since 2011), ISO 45001 (2018), and Bureau Veritas Class A georeferencing. Marketing is light, limited to a company Facebook page launched in 2015 and a project-portfolio website, with go-to-market driven by reputation, certifications, and direct enterprise relationships in the Savoie and Haute-Savoie departments.

Core offering

PERILLAT TP is a third-generation family-owned public works contractor operating in the Savoie and Haute-Savoie region of France. The company delivers earthmoving, demolition, dry/wet network installation (including snow-making infrastructure), soil treatment, material recycling, blasting, river works, and topographical surveying services supported by GPS/drone technology and a heavy equipment fleet. Projects span municipal infrastructure, utility networks, ski resort development, and private construction sites.

Product overview

PERILLAT TP is a third-generation family-owned public works company established in 1973, operating primarily in the Savoie and Haute Savoie regions. The company operates as a unified suite of complementary public works services rather than a platform with discrete modules. Core offerings include: earthmoving and piste construction (the original business), survey/topography with GPS precision technology, dry/wet network installation including snow-making infrastructure, soil treatment and stabilization, demolition, river works, blasting, material recycling with on-site processing platform, and transport/logistics services. The services are interconnected—topography supports earthworks precision, recycling provides materials for construction, and transport enables material movement across all projects.
