Revenue model

1. Engineering & Consulting Services: SBC generates revenue through project-based engineering and consulting engagements covering the full project lifecycle: diagnostic, feasibility studies, design (conception), execution studies (EXE), and construction supervision (maîtrise d'œuvre). Services are billed per mission or contract. The firm also provides specialized services in wood structure, building envelope, and heritage rehabilitation. Revenue is derived entirely from professional services fees, with no product or hardware sales.

Core offering

BET SBC is a French engineering consultancy (Bureau d'études techniques) specializing in wood structure engineering, building envelope diagnostics, and heritage rehabilitation. The firm delivers project-based engineering services — including structural diagnostics, feasibility studies, design (conception), execution studies, and construction supervision — across the full building lifecycle for timber, concrete, and metal structures, with particular expertise in biosourced materials. Its CID subsidiary provides 3D scanner and drone-based geometric acquisition to support the engineering work.

Product overview

BET SBC is a Bureau d'études techniques (engineering consultancy) specializing in wood construction, building envelope, and structural diagnostics. The company offers a comprehensive suite of services organized around three core pillars: Maîtrise d'œuvre (project management from conception to completion), Ingénierie du bois (wood structure engineering with 3D design and calculations), and Expertise-Diagnostic (structural and envelope assessment using scanner 3D and drone technology). The company also provides specialized services including PPCC (building envelope preservation planning), CID (geometric acquisition and inspection), and diagnostic ressources (material reuse assessment for circular construction). These services work together to address the full building lifecycle—from initial diagnosis and resource assessment through engineering design to project execution and long-term maintenance planning.

Products and services

• Maitrise d'œuvre (Project Management and Construction Supervision) Project management services accompanying clients from project conception through construction completion, either alone or as part of a broader team. Covers design conception, execution studies, and construction supervision for building projects.
• Ingénierie du bois (Wood Structure Engineering) Design and engineering of wood structures including structural calculation, 3D modeling, and execution plans for timber construction and rehabilitation projects. Covers timber, concrete, and metal structures with specialization in biosourced materials.
• Expertise-Diagnostic (Structural and Building Diagnostics) Structural, envelope, and building diagnostics including investigation, 3D scanning, drone-based assessment, and Sylvatest 4 non-destructive wood testing to identify pathologies, damage, and structural conditions. Engaged following sinistres, désordres, or pathologies.
• PPCC (Plan de Préservation du Clos-Couvert) Building envelope preservation planning service combining inspection, diagnosis, and engineering across a structured 4-step methodology (capture, diagnosis, plan elaboration, ongoing control) to enable building owners to budget and plan long-term maintenance proactively.
• CID — Captures et Diagnostics (3D Scanning and Drone Inspection) Geometric acquisition and terrestrial/aerial inspection services using 3D scanner and civil drone technology, delivered via the CID subsidiary. Provides point clouds, orthophotography, 2D/3D plans, and BIM deliverables for construction, rehabilitation, BIM modeling, construction monitoring, and heritage documentation.
• Le diagnostic ressources (Resource Diagnostics for Material Reuse) Material reuse diagnostics assessing the quantity, quality, and reuse potential of building components before demolition or renovation. Supports circular economy in construction by enabling resource recovery planning.

Partnerships

Five partnerships are on record, tiered core and minor.

• CID (Captures, Inspections, Diagnostics)coreTechnology or IntegrationCID is a sister company and operational entity of SBC specialized in geometric acquisition and inspection using 3D scanner and civil drone technology. SBC and CID share offices and operate as an integrated team: CID handles field data acquisition (point clouds, orthophotography, BIM) and SBC provides the structural engineering interpretation and design. This partnership enables SBC to offer end-to-end services from digital survey to engineering design.
• RFCP (Réseau Français de la Construction Paille)coreStrategic or Co-development PartnerSBC is a member of the French Straw Construction Network (RFCP). SBC underwent the RFCP's week-long training program and obtained official certification recognizing its theoretical and technical competence in straw construction. This partnership provides SBC with access to professional standards and a network of practitioners in biosourced construction.
• FiboisminorStrategic or Co-development PartnerFibois is the interprofessional wood construction organization. SBC's membership demonstrates its integration in the regional and national timber construction ecosystem.
• OdeysminorStrategic or Co-development PartnerOdeys is a wood and bio-sourced construction competitiveness cluster. SBC's membership connects it to the regional innovation ecosystem for timber and biosourced materials.
• NovaBuildminorStrategic or Co-development PartnerNovaBuild is a construction industry network focused on innovation. SBC's membership supports its access to innovation networks and industry developments.

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Egis: Large French engineering group offering multi-discipline services including structural engineering, building diagnostics, and increasingly timber/biosourced construction consulting. Represents the generalist competition that may enter SBC's niche.
• Ingerop: Large French engineering firm with structural, rehabilitation, and building diagnostics practices. Regularly engages on public MOA projects in the same regions as SBC, and increasingly active in timber and bio-sourced construction.
• Arbonis (Vinci Construction): Vinci Construction's timber subsidiary, one of the largest wood construction companies in France. While primarily a builder rather than a consulting BET, it competes for the same public timber construction mandates and offers in-house structural design that overlaps with SBC's scope.
• Bureau Veritas Construction: Global testing, inspection, and certification company with a French construction practice including technical diagnostics, building pathology, and heritage assessment. Adjacent to SBC's expertise-diagnostic and CID services.
• Qualiconsult: French construction technical inspection and engineering firm with activities in structural diagnostics, building envelope, and construction supervision. Overlaps with SBC's diagnostic and maîtrise d'œuvre service lines.
• Mathis: Major French timber construction group with integrated design, prefabrication, and erection capabilities. Like Arbonis, it operates at a much larger scale but is highly relevant as a comparator for structural timber engineering in the public/private construction market.
• Setec Bâtiment: Major French engineering consultancy providing structural and building envelope engineering across all material types, including heritage rehabilitation. Competes for the same public-sector BET Structure mandates as SBC.
• Apave: French testing, inspection, and certification group with building diagnostics, structural assessment, and heritage-related engineering services. Overlaps with SBC's expertise-diagnostic, building envelope, and pathology investigation work.

Direct peers

• Sylva Conseil: French wood engineering consultancy providing structural design, diagnostics, and technical assistance for timber buildings. Closest direct peer in terms of size, scope, and specialization in bois construction engineering.
• Teckicea: French engineering consultancy specialized in timber and bio-sourced construction, offering structural design, technical assistance, and consulting. Closely comparable in size, focus, and service mix to SBC.
