A subsidiary of Bouygues Construction, Bouygues Bâtiment Ile-de-France is a player in the wooden construction sector. Today, it is investing in new construction methods to reduce the carbon footprint of the construction industry and develop new solutions for the cities of the future.
Present in the wooden construction sector for many years, Bouygues Bâtiment Ile-de-France is positioned in the four segments of wooden construction: elevation/extension, façades, new and modular constructions and even fittings/layout.
The projects conducted by Bouygues Bâtiment Ile-de-France, a subsidiary of Bouygues Construction, include the wooden hull of the Seine Musicale auditorium, an operation involving 306 rooms in Villiers-Sur-Marne. In 2018, it is also set to build a series of apartment blocks in the inner suburbs of Paris.

The wooden construction market is growing rapidly. It concerns all types of building: housing, offices, public facilities, etc. Everybody is concerned by wooden structures: all business areas and all sizes of contract!
Today, building on all its projects, the Group’s ambitions are to continue developing technical and industrial innovations, with particular emphasis on studies relating to the concept of wooden buildings, the development of connected floors and high-rise buildings. At the same time, by working with manufacturers to industrialize our construction methods, we can integrate more finished or unfinished products at the production plant, and systemize certain assembly procedures.
The role of the wooden construction department is also to support construction site teams during the work phase. To date, 25 people from Bouygues Bâtiment Ile-de-France have joined the wooden construction teams. These teams comprise seven employees from the Wooden Engineering department, and a production team of 16 people, including three fitting teams of site workers, a site foreman and works engineers.
Is it possible to create professional paint with a small carbon footprint and low emissivity? It is, with the start-up, CIRCOULEUR. It is an innovation from Matching Up that has been tested on our sites!
This area will be a great place to work, take it easy and unwind. The location, known as ‘Quai 22’, with its mix of city life, water and nature, will be situated on the banks of the river Deûle in the European Metropolis of Lille.
Without denying the ostensibly anxiety-provoking prospects anticipated by scientists, it proposes keys to designing a liveable and desirable future: knowing and reducing one’s vulnerabilities, learning to react to unknown phenomena, applying principles of continuity, redundancy and sobriety. How can we implement this concept and develop a methodical and operational resilience strategy at the scale of real estate projects? Insights from Camille Gautier, Innovation Leader at Elan.
When companies start pooling their efforts, sharing their tools and valuing their resources, does that create a circular economy?
This is an entirely new approach to construction, a more ethical and sustainable one. It involves predicting changes in usage, and the reversibility of a building after construction The aim is to be able to change the building's purpose easily to accompany changes in lifestyle and in the regions themselves.
In June 2020, eight major French cities saw their municipal councils taken or held by a Green majority: Lyon, Strasbourg, Bordeaux, Grenoble, Tours, Annecy, Besançon and Poitiers. What do these green municipalities plan for the territories?
Regulatory pressure is growing on how building and public works waste is processed. The sector produces 70% of waste in France (245 million tonnes, 46 million tonnes of which from the construction sector).
Where Grand Paris Express worksites are concerned, Bouygues Travaux Publics Région Parisienne is seeking to give a new lease of life to excavated soil. A review of a circular-economy pilot project with the restructuring of an agricultural plot in partnership with the conurbation of Grand Paris Sud Seine-Essonne-Sénart and the municipality of Ris-Orangis.
To combat global warming, France has committed to becoming carbon neutral by 2050. Like France, many countries around the world have decided - by choice or environmental necessity - to turn to decarbonised electricity. In this quest for green energy, photovoltaics seems to have its full place, but is not the only viable solution. Incidentally, what is the status of its deployment potential?
