XYLO STRUCTURES

What XYLO STRUCTURES does

XYLO STRUCTURES is a privately held French structural engineering consultancy (bureau d'études) founded in 2016 and headquartered in La Roche-sur-Yon, Vendée. The firm is exclusively focused on the design, sizing, and optimization of wood and wood/metal building structures, working with glulam (lamellé collé), cross-laminated timber (CLT), and timber-frame (ossature bois) systems across building heights up to R+8.

The company delivers the full project lifecycle of engineering services: structural diagnosis, master contracting under Loi MOP (BASE / BASE+EXE missions), execution studies (EXE), workshop and construction plans (PAC), production planning, building-envelope studies (thermal, acoustic, fire), and moisture control using WUFI hygrothermal simulation. Project examples span schools, healthcare facilities, sports venues, residential housing, and commercial buildings, with individual project budgets ranging from roughly €2M to €65M. The firm co-authored industry methodology guides (Guide EXE PAC Bois, moisture-management guide) with CODIFAB, FFB, CAPEB, and UICB.

Revenue is generated on a project-based professional-services model, billed per mission type (BASE, BASE+EXE, EXE, PAC) under multi-year contracts acquired via public tenders and direct commissions from architects, developers, and construction firms. Clients are diversified across French public-sector bodies and private developers, and the firm operates from a single office while serving projects across at least 12 French regions.
