Origine Structures

What Origine Structures does

Origine Structures is a French structural engineering firm (bureau d'études structures) founded in March 2022 in Bordeaux. The firm specializes in structural design for multi-material buildings—primarily timber, complemented by metal and concrete—with an explicit timber focus. It serves clients undertaking construction, renovation, and diagnostic projects, producing structural calculations, plans, and engineering studies required for project execution and regulatory compliance. Notable clients disclosed include the Ville de Paris, Ville de Moret Loing et Orvanne, OPH Seine-Ouest Habitat, Ville de Castets, and Dyneff, indicating a mix of municipal, social housing, and private-sector mandates.

The firm operates a professional services model on a project-by-project basis. Its core technical workflows center on Cadwork, a specialized timber-design software, and Ferroscan, an in-situ diagnostic technology used for material assessment—enabling both new-build structural engineering and renovation/inspection mandates. Multi-material competence across wood, metal, and concrete is positioned within the French timber engineering market as a distinguishing capability.

The firm is led by co-founders Jean-Sébastien Pommepuy and Théophile Félix, each trained as carpenters through the Compagnons du Devoir and subsequently qualified as structural engineers—an unusual dual craft-plus-engineering profile. Origine Structures has grown to nine personnel across two offices (Bordeaux headquarters and a Paris office), combining engineering staff, apprentices, a drafter, and an administrative role. No external funding rounds, investors, or acquisitions are disclosed.

Broad incumbents

• WSP France: Global engineering consultancy with a French structural engineering practice. Comparable on multi-material building structural design for institutional and commercial clients, though at much larger scale.
• setec bâtiment: Major French engineering group with structural, MEP, and infrastructure design capabilities. Overlaps with Origine on building structural design for institutional and developer clients at larger project scale.
• Egis: Major French engineering group with building, infrastructure, and operations capabilities. Overlaps with Origine on building structural design but operates at vastly larger scale across all major French metros.
• AIA Ingénierie: Large French engineering firm providing structural, MEP, and sustainability design across all building types. Broader portfolio than Origine but overlaps on structural engineering mandates for architects and public-sector clients.
• Artelia: Large French multi-disciplinary engineering group covering building, infrastructure, and industrial projects. Comparable on the structural engineering service line but competes primarily on larger mandates Origine cannot serve.
