What HIGH-B-TECH GROUP does

HIGH-B-TECH GROUP (legal entity HIGH.B.TECH) is a privately-held French technical engineering consultancy (bureau d'études techniques fluides) headquartered in Grenoble, with additional offices in Lyon and Chassieu, serving the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region and select projects nationally. Founded approximately twenty years ago, the firm specializes in electrical engineering (high-voltage H.T. and low-voltage B.T. distribution, including weak-current systems such as fire detection, access control, video surveillance, and domotics), HVAC and climate engineering (heating, ventilation, plumbing, thermal solar), building technical management (GTB/GTC — Gestion Technique du Bâtiment, claimed to enable up to 40% energy savings), and renewable energy integration (photovoltaic, EV charging stations). It also offers specialized fire safety system coordination (CSSI) and accessibility engineering for healthcare facilities serving people with reduced mobility (FAM, MAS, EHPAD).

The company delivers full-lifecycle engineering services — from audit and feasibility studies through design, contractor consultation, construction supervision, and technical reception — across commercial/tertiary, industrial, residential, healthcare, education, and hospitality sectors. Notable reference projects include HRS Hydrogen Refueling Solutions (€18M facility, BREEAM Very Good), Leroy Merlin Daumesnil (€5M renovation, 6,000m²), H&M Champs Elysées (€10M, 3,500m²), ALSTOM Le Cheylas railway maintenance center (€700K), FAM Nice residential care facility (€7.6M, 4,500m², 35 rooms), and Lycée Champollion rehabilitation (80,000m² over 5 years).

Revenue is generated through project-based professional services fees, with no public pricing disclosed. Go-to-market is sales-led and direct, leveraging project portfolios, ICARE GIE federation referrals (a mutualized group of four complementary engineering firms: Sixième Sens Ingénierie, Etudes Conseil Ingénierie, Clima Tech, and HIGH-B-TECH itself), architectural partnerships, and public procurement channels. Customer concentration spans healthcare, industrial, retail, transportation, and banking — deliberately diversified by sector but concentrated in individual large projects. The firm employs 1–10 people, has no disclosed external investment, and shows no signs of digital or AI-native productization beyond standard building automation controls.

Core offering

HIGH-B-TECH GROUP is a French technical engineering office providing engineering studies and consulting across electrical distribution (high and low voltage), low-current systems (fire detection, access control, video surveillance, GTB/GTC), renewable energy (photovoltaic, EV charging), and HVAC/plumbing (Génie Climatique). The firm supports clients from preliminary design and technical specifications through to construction supervision, technical reception, and maintenance specification, serving healthcare, industrial, commercial, residential, and public-sector projects primarily in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region.

Product overview

HIGH-B-TECH GROUP is a technical engineering office (bureau d'études techniques fluides) offering integrated services across four main areas: Courants Forts (electrical distribution), Courants Faibles (low-voltage systems), Energies Durables (renewable energy), and Génie Climatique (HVAC/plumbing). The company provides comprehensive building technical management through GTB/GTC systems and accompanies clients from design through construction supervision. Their 20-year experience in electrotechnical engineering enables end-to-end project delivery across commercial, industrial, residential, healthcare, and hospitality sectors in the Grenoble region and beyond.
