What Cabinet ALAYRAC does

Cabinet ALAYRAC is a privately-held French construction economics consultancy (Société par actions simplifiée) headquartered in Toulouse, operating under RCS Toulouse 313 610 073 with share capital of €50,480. The firm delivers three interconnected service lines to public and private project owners: (1) AMO (Assistance à Maîtrise d'Ouvrage) programming advisory, including feasibility studies, financial envelope establishment, and analysis of competition-phase submissions; (2) full-scope construction economics services covering all trades (TCE), specification writing (CCTP), contractor consultation and bid analysis, quantity surveying, financial monitoring of works, renovation studies, and insurance-expert verification; and (3) BIM capabilities built on ATTIC+, REVIT 2022, AutoCAD, Solibri, Tekla Bimsight, and Sketchup for IFC-based 3D model handling.

The firm serves a client base dominated by French public-sector bodies — including Région Occitanie, Région Midi-Pyrénées, Toulouse Métropole, CHU de Montpellier, Université de Montpellier, the Ministère de l'Économie (Cité administrative de Toulouse, €62.5M), CNES (KOUROU, €22.5M), and Institut Mines-Télécom (Paris-Saclay, €90.29M) — alongside private developers and industrial clients such as Liebherr, TBM Resorts, and Mesolia. Engagement values range from approximately €1.6M to €90.3M in construction cost.

The business model is fee-for-service professional consulting: projects are won through competitive public procurement (appels d'offres) and direct referrals from architectural partners, with fees determined per-mission and billed against multi-year contracts. Distribution relies on the firm's OPQTECC QPQTECC qualification (codes 1.4.1 A+B+C, 1.4.3, 2.1.1–2.1.3, 3.1, 3.4, 3.5) and UNTEC membership, supplemented by a project-portfolio website organized by building type. The team comprises approximately 10–15 professionals, supported by 11 fixed PCs, 5 laptops, 2 A0 digitizing tables, 2 multifunction A3 color laser printers, and 5 service vehicles.

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Currie & Brown: Global construction consultancy offering cost management and project controls across real estate and infrastructure. Relevant incumbent for large institutional clients in France.
• Gleeds: International construction consultancy with a dedicated cost-management / quantity surveying practice. Competes on larger and cross-border engagements where the client values global delivery capacity over local specialization.
• Bureau Veritas: Global testing, inspection, and certification firm with a Construction & Infrastructure division that includes cost advisory and project controls. Larger, broader portfolio than Cabinet ALAYRAC but competes for adjacent economics mandates.
• Arcadis: Global design and consultancy firm with a strong cost-and-commercial-management practice. Competes for cross-region, multi-disciplinary mandates that Cabinet ALAYRAC cannot service alone.
• Rider Levett Bucknall (RLB): International quantity surveying and construction consultancy. Comparable as a higher-tier economics-and-cost provider competing on larger and more complex mandates.
• Egis: Major French engineering and project management group with construction economics capabilities embedded in larger program mandates. Competes where the client wants a one-stop engineering + economics offer.
• Artelia: French-headquartered engineering and project management consultancy active in building, infrastructure, and industry. Provides construction cost advisory as part of integrated engineering commissions.
• Tractebel (Engie): Belgian/French engineering consultancy (part of Engie) active in buildings, infrastructure, and energy. Provides project controls and cost management as part of larger engineering programs and competes for flagship public tenders in France.

Direct peers

• BMF Economistes: Specialist French construction economics consultancy providing AMO programming, TCE cost estimation, and BIM-enabled services. Directly comparable niche player competing for the same public-sector tenders.
• Cabinet Bérard: Paris-based French construction economics firm (économiste de la construction) offering AMO programming, cost estimation, and quantity surveying for public and private clients. Closest like-for-like peer in scale and service mix.
