Groupe Collette Inc.

What Groupe Collette Inc. does

Groupe Collette Inc. (GCI) is a Quebec-based, family-owned general and petroleum contractor founded in 1974 by Yves Collette and currently led by second-generation principal Isabelle Collette. The company operates two integrated service lines from its Varennes, Quebec headquarters: general contracting (Entrepreneur Général), covering custom commercial, industrial, and institutional building design, construction, expansion, and renovation using steel and concrete; and petroleum contracting (Entrepreneur Pétrolier), covering oil equipment installation, gas station construction, intelligent oil management systems, 24/7 emergency response, industrial generator systems, residential and commercial oil tank installation and disposal, and environmental remediation services including asbestos, mold, vermiculite, and land decontamination. The construction technology stack is conventional building engineering (steel and concrete structures) rather than software or platform-based, and the petroleum-side technology stack consists of regulated petroleum equipment installation and instrumentation rather than proprietary AI or software systems.

GCI generates revenue through project-based professional services contracts on a quote-based pricing model, with no publicly disclosed pricing or recurring subscription structure. Its go-to-market combines enterprise field sales targeting property owners, architects, engineers, oil companies, school boards, real estate developers, and institutional clients (hospitals, clinics, schools, municipal buildings) with direct-to-customer intake via an online inquiry form, phone sales at (450) 652-3993, and a light social media presence on Facebook and Instagram. Customers span commercial (convenience stores, daycares, stores, clinics), industrial (distribution centers, manufacturing facilities), institutional (schools, hospitals, offices, municipal buildings), petroleum (oil companies, gas stations), and residential (heating oil tank owners) segments, with all project delivery confined to the province of Quebec. The company is privately held by the Collette family with no external investors, parent company, subsidiaries, or public disclosures of revenue or headcount.
