LES BATISSEURS D AUJOURD HUI

What LES BATISSEURS D AUJOURD HUI does

Les Bâtisseurs d'Aujourd'hui is a family-owned French custom single-family home construction company founded in 1980 by Lionel Favier and headquartered in Corenc, in the Grenoble metropolitan area. The company designs, builds, and delivers made-to-measure individual houses under the legally regulated CCMI (Contrat de Construction Maison Individuelle) contract framework, which provides customers with fixed price, fixed deadlines, a 10-day cancellation period, and a 10-year decennial guarantee. Service is delivered through a five-step process: initial consultation, custom architectural design via an in-house architecture bureau, building permit filing, construction management with a dedicated conductor of works, and final key handover. The firm also intermediates land acquisition through partnerships with local land developers (partenaires fonciers), offering integrated land-plus-construction packages across 50+ building plots in the Grenoble basin.

The company's core technology stack is modest but functional: an in-house architectural design bureau, a proprietary MyProjectCompanion site-monitoring application that provides customers with vocal updates from the site foreman, photo galleries, and document access, and a catalog of 14 house model inspirations (90-131 m²) that anchor custom design conversations. All delivered homes comply with RE2020 French environmental standards. The firm is FFB-certified (Fédération Française du Bâtiment) and carries damage-works insurance as required by the CCMI framework.

The business model is direct-to-consumer and sales-led, targeting individual homebuyers and families exclusively in the Grenoble basin and Isère department. Pricing is project-specific and quote-based, with terrain acquisition priced separately (€134k-€450k per plot) and construction priced through a fixed-price CCMI contract. Customer acquisition relies on local SEO, website content, land partner referrals, and word-of-mouth; the firm carries a 4.7/5 rating across 41 verified reviews. The company is privately held under SAS structure, employs 1-10 people directly, and relies on a long-standing network of partner artisans for execution. No external investors, funding rounds, or subsidiaries are disclosed.

Direct peers

• Demeures Caladoises: A regional French custom homebuilder operating on a similar boutique scale with CCMI contracts and in-house architecture. Comparable as a mid-sized regional operator competing on personalization, quality, and local reputation rather than volume.
• Bécot Construction: A regional French builder of individual custom houses using the CCMI framework. Closely comparable in size, regional focus, and emphasis on personalized accompaniment throughout the construction process.
• Maison Familiale (Maisons Familiales): Group of regional French custom homebuilders selling through CCMI contracts with model collections and territory-specific sales forces. Comparable in custom single-family home focus and customer experience, but multi-brand/multi-region structure.
• Babeau Seguin: A French custom homebuilder (also part of Hexaôm) operating across multiple regions with CCMI contracts. Comparable in offering custom single-family homes under the same legal framework and similar customer-acquisition model, though with broader regional coverage.
• Maisons Pierre: Major French single-family homebuilder selling CCMI-contract homes across France with model catalogs, land partnerships, and fixed-price guarantees. Closely mirrors the business model of Les Bâtisseurs d'Aujourd'hui but at much larger national scale.
• Les Maisons de Manon: French regional homebuilder offering custom single-family homes under CCMI contracts with model collections. Similar mid-tier regional positioning with comparable operational model and customer profile.

Broad incumbents

• Kaufman & Broad Maisons Individuelles: Listed French homebuilder (part of LGE Group) producing single-family homes under CCMI contracts nationwide. Directly comparable product offering but operates at significantly larger scale and broader geographic footprint.
• Maisons Phénix: Geoxia-affiliated national builder producing entry-level and custom single-family homes across France under CCMI. Comparable product offering with similar legal framework, but positioned more on affordability than premium regional customization.
• Hexaôm (Maisons France Confort): France's largest homebuilder group (Hexaôm) operating Maisons France Confort across the country. Directly comparable because they sell CCMI-contract custom single-family homes through a similar fixed-price, multi-step process, but at vastly greater national scale.

Emerging players

• Natilia: Hexaôm subsidiary focused on timber-frame, energy-efficient custom homes under CCMI. Comparable as an architecturally differentiated custom builder with similar environmental positioning (RE2020-style compliance) but distinct material specialization.
