What LD EXPERTISE 64 does

LD EXPERTISE 64 is an independent building expertise (expertise bâtiment) and insurance expertise (expert d'assuré) practice operating as a solo firm from Saint Etienne de Baigorry in the French Basque Country. The firm serves individual property owners, buyers, sellers, construction professionals, and insurance policyholders across the Pyrénées-Atlantiques (64), Landes (40), and Bassin d'Arcachon regions, delivering five core services: pre-purchase/sale expertise (expertise avant achat/vente), construction-phase technical opinions (avis technique), work acceptance inspections (réception des travaux), insurance claim support (déclarations de sinistres), and dispute resolution/conciliation (règlements litiges). Its specialist positioning covers wooden frame structures (ossature bois), carpentry (charpente), energy-efficient renovation, and urban planning matters — areas where founder Laurent Daquin holds OFIB, QUALIBAT, and CNEDAC credentials.

The firm's technical platform is a portable diagnostic equipment stack rather than a software product: thermal cameras for insulation and moisture detection, drones for aerial inspection, video endoscopes for concealed cavities, moisture/electrical testers, laser measurement and digital leveling tools, sound level meters, and image analysis software. Service delivery is on-site and in-person, with no digital marketplace, e-commerce, or remote-reporting infrastructure visible. Customer acquisition runs through direct contact (phone 0768647052, email [email protected], website contact form) and referral channels generated by the founder's prior and current leadership roles in FFB Gironde and AFCOBOIS. There is no disclosed digital marketing, no social media presence, and no app or API product.

The business model is professional-services engagement-based: revenue is generated per inspection, per technical opinion, per work acceptance, per claim support, or per conciliation engagement, with quotes provided on request. No pricing is publicly disclosed, no recurring contracts are evident, and there is no institutional or external investment. Operating hours are Monday-Friday 9h00-12h00 and 14h00-17h00, consistent with a single-practitioner schedule. The firm carries professional liability insurance with AXA (policy 0000011428050204).
