BUREAU D'ETUDES STRUCTURES DE CONCEPTION ET D'INGENIERIE

What BUREAU D'ETUDES STRUCTURES DE CONCEPTION ET D'INGENIERIE does

BUREAU D'ETUDES STRUCTURES DE CONCEPTION ET D'INGENIERIE, operating as STCI, is a privately held French structural engineering consultancy headquartered in Lardier-et-Valença in the Hautes-Alpes department. Founded in early 2020 by Loïc Beaulieu, an engineer with more than 15 years of prior experience in structural design firms, the company specializes in structural engineering studies for buildings and civil engineering works, covering reinforced concrete, steel, and mixed structures. The firm offers pre-study optimization, execution studies, soil-structure interaction analysis, seismic calculations, and foundation engineering, and it positions BIM (Building Information Modeling) using REVIT and AutoCAD as its core digital methodology for interoperability with project partners.

STCI's client base spans real estate developers (Bouygues Immobilier, COGEDIM, H2 Promoteur), architecture firms (A+ Architecture, JAMOT Romain Architecture), public-sector entities (CROUS Montpellier Occitanie, Région PACA, Conseil Départemental du Vaucluse, multiple communes), and industrial or commercial clients (CIRRUS Construction for LIDL, Groupe Montaner-Pietrini, PV Aérodromes). Project references include 32-unit housing (Gap), 87-unit housing with retail (La Grande-Motte, €12M construction value), a museum extension (Montpellier, €4.8M), 290-unit student housing (CROUS), and the €17M, 25,000 m² renovation of the Cité Scolaire Charles De Gaulle for Région PACA, scheduled for 2026 delivery.

The firm operates a project-based professional services revenue model, billing per study according to scope and complexity, with multi-year contract cadences on larger engagements. Go-to-market is consultative and sales-led, relying on a website contact form, LinkedIn presence, professional referrals, and co-development partnerships with peer engineering firms (SARL SECIM, BET STELA) to bid on larger tenders. The firm is founder-owned, has no disclosed external funding, and is currently recruiting its first BIM projeter, signaling the earliest stages of capacity scaling beyond the principal engineer.
