SOP

What SOP does

SOP is a French construction and renovation company specializing in professional and commercial building projects, operating as the B2B division of ARVA Groupe. Founded in 1999 and headquartered in Saint-Georges-d'Orques near Montpellier, the company serves clients across the Occitanie region. SOP provides a multi-trade service offering covering covering (toiture), zinguerie (metalwork/guttering), charpente (structural framing in wood, metal, and glulam), facade renovation, and external thermal insulation (ITE). The company differentiates itself through an integrated design bureau (bureau d'études intégré) and an in-house fabrication workshop equipped with what it describes as cutting-edge technologies, enabling custom-tailored solutions for each project.

SOP's core technology is built around three conventional but integrated capabilities: custom covering and zinguerie systems (including low-energy options), personalized structural framing (bois, métal, lamellé-collé), and ITE/facade systems designed to reduce thermal losses and energy costs. The company supports clients navigating French energy-efficiency financing mechanisms including the prime CEE (Certificats d'Économies d'Énergie) and MaPrimeRénov', lowering the effective cost of renovation projects for commercial and public-sector clients.

SOP's business model is project-based professional services, with revenue generated from one-off construction and renovation contracts awarded by enterprise, real estate developer, social housing, and government clients. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market is direct field sales targeting professional clients in Occitanie, supported by a corporate website and quote-request contact form. The firm operates from a single headquarters site with 25 employees, and its legal entity is ARVA GROUPE (SIRET 90397828600016), under Gérant Stéphane GODDE.
