RÉNOVATION GÉNÉRALE D'ÉMERAUDE

What RÉNOVATION GÉNÉRALE D'ÉMERAUDE does

RÉNOVATION GÉNÉRALE D'ÉMERAUDE (trading as RGE 35) is a private French general contractor and maître d'œuvre founded in 2015 and headquartered in Saint-Malo, Brittany. The company delivers turnkey renovation services for houses, apartments, and commercial premises across the Côte d'Émeraude region, including Saint-Malo, Dinard, Cancale, Dinan, and Saint-Cast-le-Guildo. Its customer base spans both particuliers (private homeowners, including primary residences, secondary/vacation homes, and heritage properties) and professionnels (restaurateurs, hoteliers, retailers) requiring renovation or fit-out work.

The firm's core offering is organized around six internal service poles — Architecture, Agencement & Décoration, Technical Project Management, Gros Œuvre (structural work), Second Œuvre (interior finishing), and Finitions — supported by a sub-product in custom kitchen design. All trades are delivered by 80+ salaried employees (architects, interior designers, decorators, technicians, electricians, plumbers, tilers, painters, carpenters), eliminating reliance on subcontractors. Notable technical capabilities include 3D visualization, 360° site surveys, structural and thermal studies, ABF-compliant heritage restoration, and RGE-certified energy-efficiency installations (QualiPac, QualiBat, Chauffage+, Ventilation).

RGE 35 generates revenue through one-time project fees quoted per engagement, with budget tiers spanning under €30,000 to over €600,000. Customer acquisition runs through a regional direct-sales motion — website, phone, physical showroom (rebuilt 2023), online quote forms, local SEO, Google reviews, word-of-mouth referrals, and trade-show participation (e.g., Salon Viving de l'Habitat). Pricing is fully bespoke with free initial consultations; no subscription or recurring revenue model is in evidence. The company holds RGE certifications qualifying clients for French government subsidies such as MaPrimeRénov', and maintains a documented collaboration with the Architectes des Bâtiments de France for heritage-zone projects.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves8 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Bouygues Construction: One of France's largest general contractors and construction groups, with operations in residential, commercial, and civil construction. Far larger scale than RGE 35 and primarily focused on large institutional/commercial projects, but operates in the same general-construction category.
• La Maison Saint-Gobain: Saint-Gobain's nationwide renovation service offering whole-home renovations with energy-efficiency focus (notably leveraging MaPrimeRénov'). Comparable integrated renovation + energy-retrofit proposition, but backed by a major building-materials manufacturer and operating at national scale.

Direct peers

• Maison & Travaux: National French home renovation network that connects clients with vetted contractors for full-scale works (kitchen, bathroom, extensions, full renovations). Comparable end-to-end project orchestration model, though it operates as a brokerage rather than in-house execution like RGE 35.
• Camif Habitat: National French renovation network providing end-to-end project management for residential and commercial clients with locally-based contractors. Directly comparable business model — managing multi-trade renovations under a single project owner — though at national rather than regional scale.
• Illico Travaux: National French renovation and works brokerage with franchise network across France. Matches clients to vetted artisans for full renovation, extension, and interior projects — directly comparable customer value proposition in project coordination and contractor vetting.
• Tryba: Leading French franchise network specializing in windows, doors, and home renovation with regional franchisees executing projects with trained crews. Comparable regional franchise model for home improvement, though more specialized in openings/envelopes than full general renovation.

Others

• Saint-Gobain Distribution Bâtiment France: Saint-Gobain's French building-materials distribution arm serving contractors and tradespeople. Functions as a materials supplier/ecosystem participant rather than a direct competitor, though it shapes the procurement economics of every French renovation contractor including RGE 35.
• Maisons du Monde: French home-furnishings retailer and decoration brand with extensive showroom network across France. Adjacent to RGE 35's Agencement & Décoration pole — both sell decoration outcomes to similar clienteles — though Maisons du Monde sells furniture rather than executing renovation works.
• Leroy Merlin: France's leading home-improvement retail chain, now offering installation and renovation services in addition to product sales. Adjacent rather than directly competing — clients may comparison-shop between RGE 35's bespoke service and Leroy Merlin's standardized installation offerings.

Emerging players

• Renovert: French renovation startup focused on energy-efficient home renovation with subsidies assistance (MaPrimeRénov'). Comparable focus on the energy-retrofit opportunity, though newer and likely less established than RGE 35's 10-year track record.
