What Gecape does

Gécape is a French specialty contractor founded in 1976 in Clermont (Oise) that designs, installs, and maintains waterproofing systems for flat roofs (toitures-terrasses). The company serves building owners, industrial clients, social housing providers, local authorities, hospitals, general contractors, and individual homeowners across Hauts-de-France, Île-de-France, and selectively beyond. Its core technical capabilities include PVC membrane waterproofing (Qualibat 3223 RGE), bituminous waterproofing (Qualibat 3213 RGE), metal cladding, and the integration of green roofs with photovoltaic support structures.

Gécape operates through a dual-pole structure: GECAPE Travaux handles design-build and major renovation projects (one-time project revenue), while GECAPE Services delivers preventive maintenance, roof audits and diagnostics, leak detection and repair, cleaning, and access securitization under recurring service contracts. Pricing is quote-based for Travaux and subscription-based for Services, with no public rate disclosure; customer acquisition relies on direct phone, email, and a website contact form rather than active demand generation.

Since October 2024, Gécape has operated as a member of Groupe Doumer, a diversified conglomerate, gaining financial backing and investment capacity while preserving its regional PME identity. The company employs approximately 30 qualified collaborators and reports €5–7M in annual revenue across both poles, with a 50-year operating history as its principal brand asset.

• Onduline: French-founded international manufacturer of bituminous and lightweight roofing and waterproofing systems. Comparable as a building-envelope waterproofing specialist serving residential, commercial, and industrial markets.

• Soprema: Major French-headquartered waterproofing manufacturer and contractor with extensive flat-roof membrane, bituminous, and liquid-applied systems. Comparable because it serves the same building-envelope waterproofing market across France, though at national scale and with significant manufacturing integration.
• Eiffage Construction: Major French construction group with extensive building-envelope, roofing, and waterproofing capability through its construction and energy divisions. Comparable as a counterpart on large-scale public and private building projects across France.
• BMI Group (Monier & Siplast in France): International roofing and waterproofing systems provider with a major presence in France through Siplast-Icoplan and Monier brands. Comparable in flat-roof waterproofing solutions, though broader portfolio across pitched roofing, insulation, and waterproofing.
• SPIE Batignolles: French multi-specialist construction group with building-envelope and roofing works on public, healthcare, and tertiary projects. Comparable as a regional-to-national contractor competing for the same flat-roof waterproofing mandates that Gécape targets in northern France.
