What ingenierie bois does

Ingénierie Bois is a French structural engineering consultancy founded in 2004 and headquartered in Bischheim, Alsace, specializing in the design and calculation of timber and mixed timber-metal structures. The firm provides a full suite of professional engineering services — structural studies, technico-economic assessments, execution studies with workshop and construction plans (PAC), project direction and supervision, and expert diagnosis of existing structures — spanning from small constructions (bus shelters) to exceptional multi-story buildings, including CLT residential towers up to R+11. Core technical work relies on finite element modeling tools (DLUBAL RFEM with complementary modules and RSTAB 2D), with deep specialization in cross-laminated timber (CLT), glulam (Bois Lamellé-Collé), solid wood components, I-beams, and biosourced insulation materials; the firm also holds Ministry of Research R&D accreditation for innovation work on these materials.

The company operates a sales-led, project-based professional services model, engaging either as part of architectural maîtrise d'œuvre teams or directly with carpentry and wood-structure contractors. Its customer base spans residential, educational, sports, cultural, industrial, and energy-sector projects for both public-sector clients (regions, municipalities, SIVOMs) and private enterprise (ENGIE, BATIGERE Grand Est, KS Promotion, Le Toit Vosgien). Geographic reach covers all of metropolitan France plus francophone territories in Belgium, Luxembourg, and Africa. The firm is organized as a privately held SARL (INGENIERIE BOIS SARL, RCS Strasbourg), founder- and management-owned, with a 6-person team led by founder Thomas Steuerwald and managing director Ludovic Foell, and no external investors, funding events, or M&A activity disclosed.

Broad incumbents

• Egis: Major French engineering group active across buildings, infrastructure, and project management. Comparable as a competitor for structural engineering mandates in France, though wood specialization is a narrower part of its portfolio.
• Setec Group: French engineering consultancy group with structural engineering practices (e.g., setec tpi, setec alsace). Competes for structural engineering mandates in the French market including timber-frame and biosourced projects.
• Arcadis: Global design and engineering consultancy with significant French operations through IBI Group acquisition. Comparable as a broad engineering competitor for public-sector and large-project mandates in France.
• Arup: Global engineering consultancy with a dedicated timber and mass timber practice. Overlaps with Ingénierie Bois in providing structural engineering for complex wood and CLT projects, but as part of a much broader multidisciplinary portfolio.
• Tractebel (Engie Solutions): Belgian/French engineering consultancy (Engie subsidiary) active in buildings, energy, and infrastructure. Comparable as a large-scale French-market engineering competitor, though timber is one of many focus areas.

Direct peers

• Pirmin Jung Ingenieure: Swiss timber engineering consultancy specializing in timber structures, mass timber, and innovative wood construction. Directly comparable to Ingénierie Bois as a specialist structural engineering firm serving architects and carpenters with deep CLT, glulam, and hybrid wood expertise.
