KOLIBRY SAS

What KOLIBRY SAS does

Kolibry SAS is a privately held, founder-owned French energy renovation company headquartered in Corps-Nuds, Ille-et-Vilaine (Brittany), founded in September 2019 by Diana Brélivet (Présidente) and Yann Gaël (Directeur Général). The company delivers residential energy renovation services — heat pumps, photovoltaic systems, insulation, roofing, windows, and turnkey bathroom renovations — across all four Brittany departments (35, 22, 56, 29) and bordering departments (Loire-Atlantique, Mayenne, Manche), within a two-hour radius of its headquarters. Kolibry holds five simultaneous RGE certifications (QualiPAC, QualiPV, Qualibat, Qualibois, Qualibat ventilation) that are prerequisites for clients to access MaPrimeRénov', CEE, and Éco-PTZ government subsidies; the company administers these aid applications directly, deducting subsidies from customer quotes, and provides post-project follow-up at three months and one year under a 10-year decennial guarantee via MAAF.

The business operates on a sales-led, field-based go-to-market: customers contact Kolibry by phone or web form, a technician conducts a free home visit within 48 hours, and a single interlocutor manages the project from audit through completion. Revenue is project-based, with one-time ticket sizes ranging from €500-€1,400 per window, €8,000-€15,000 for heat pumps, €8,000-€11,000 for photovoltaic systems, and up to €30,000-€40,000 for comprehensive 'rénovation globale' jobs under MaPrimeRénov' Parcours Accompagné. Distribution combines direct field sales with a partner-referral network (real estate agents, notaries, courtiers, communes, EPCI) and a customer parrainage program paying €150 per validated referral.

The operational backbone is Ko'Lab, a proprietary SaaS platform built on 1,002 managed projects that integrates CRM, automated MaPrimeRénov'/CEE quote calculations, mobile site tracking, invoicing, and six Claude-powered AI agents for project analysis, quote auditing, site monitoring, and client messaging. In 2026 Ko'Lab was opened externally to other construction professionals as a subscription SaaS with a 14-day trial, creating a second revenue stream beyond Kolibry's own installation services. The company is entirely bootstrapped, with €7,821 of registered capital and no disclosed external funding rounds.

Core offering

Kolibry is a Breton energy renovation company that delivers end-to-end home renovation services for residential homeowners, including heat pumps, photovoltaic systems, insulation, roofing, windows/doors, and bathroom renovations under a single contract. The company also developed Ko'Lab, a proprietary SaaS platform (CRM, quote generation with automatic MaPrimeRénov'/CEE calculations, project tracking, invoicing, and Claude-powered AI agents) that is now offered to other construction professionals.

Product overview

Kolibry SAS is a family-owned Breton energy-renovation company founded in 2019 in Corps-Nuds (Ille-et-Vilaine), operating six core service offerings — Rénovation globale (comprehensive energy renovation), Pompe à chaleur (heat pump installation), Photovoltaïque (solar panel systems), Menuiserie (window and door replacement), Toiture & façade (roofing and exterior insulation), and Salle de bain (turnkey bathroom renovation) — delivered by a 12-person internal team plus selected artisan partners, all certified RGE across five domains. Its proprietary SaaS platform, Ko'Lab, serves as the operational backbone for project management, client CRM, subsidy estimation (MPR/CEE), site tracking, and invoicing, powered by six Claude AI agents for project analysis, audit estimation, site monitoring, and client messaging. Ko'Lab is now also offered as a standalone SaaS product to other construction professionals. The six services are available individually or bundled under a comprehensive renovation contract managed end-to-end by Kolibry, with government subsidies (MaPrimeRénov', CEE, eco-PTZ) administered directly by the company.

Direct peers

• Hellio: Hellio is a leading French energy-efficiency specialist helping homeowners access MaPrimeRénov'/CEE subsidies for heat pumps, insulation, and PV. Highly comparable to Kolibry in subsidy-driven homeowner model and national scope, though operating as a broader marketplace/platform rather than an installation contractor.
• Energies Solutions (RGE-certified regional installers): Energies Solutions is one of several regional French RGE-certified renovation contractors (similar to Kolibry) offering heat-pump, PV and insulation services. Comparable in size and business model, providing regional/private competitive context.
• EFFY: EFFY is one of France's largest energy renovation service platforms, connecting homeowners with RGE-certified artisans for heat-pump, insulation, and PV projects. Directly comparable to Kolibry's core offering with a marketplace rather than captured contractor model.
• Dorémi (Dorémi Travaux): Dorémi is a French comprehensive energy-renovation specialist offering audit, work coordination, and aid management for global renovations. Closely comparable to Kolibry's single-interlocutor, full-renovation model with similar regulatory positioning around MaPrimeRénov' Parcours Accompagné.

Emerging players

• Tolteck: Tolteck is a French construction-estimating SaaS used by artisans and renovation contractors. Closely comparable SaaS peer to one of Ko'Lab's core modules (express estimating and quote generation with electronic signature).
• Onaya: Onaya is a French vertical SaaS platform for building professionals, covering CRM, quoting, and project tracking. Direct functional comparator to Ko'Lab SaaS, providing signals on competitor pricing, positioning, and product scope for Kolibry's platform business.

Broad incumbents

• ENGIE (Home Services / Solutions): ENGIE is a major French/European utility with a substantial home-services division covering heat pumps, insulation, and PV for residential customers. Overlaps Kolibry's offerings as a broad incumbent with greater resources and geographic reach, but without the regional/tailored positioning.
• Leroy Merlin France (Services): Leroy Merlin France offers renovation and installation services including heat-pump fitting and bathroom renovation through certified third-party networks. A large retail incumbent competing in residential renovation with comparable RGE-certified service offerings.
• Saint-Gobain Distribution Bâtiment France: Saint-Gobain operates the largest network of building-material distribution branches in France (POINT.P, Cedeo, etc.) and increasingly offers turnkey renovation services. Adjacent incumbent competing for the same professional/renovation customers via distribution scale.
• EDF (Solutions Énergétiques / Domofinance): EDF is France's incumbent electricity utility and Kolibry's financial partner through Domofinance. It also competes via EDF Solutions Énergétiques for residential energy renovation, making it both a backer and competitor in the same Breton/Brittany homeowner segment.
