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.
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.
“Nothing is lost, nothing is created, everything is transformed.” These famous words from Lavoisier became the motto of Brézillon which opened a contaminated soil transit, sorting and recovery platform in February.
The aim of the Ademe’s Obec (‘Objectifs Bâtiments Energie Carbone’) programme is to support the trialling of positive energy & carbon reduction buildings (E+C-). It has just presented its initial findings and it is fair to say that they are surprising. Here is why.
Purchase housing without paying for the land it stands on. Savings of between 20 and 50% are now possible thanks to the French “bail réel solidaire” leasehold arrangement provided for by the ALUR law and specified late last year by the ELAN law
Crédit Mutuel Nord-Europe, Linkcity and Bouygues Bâtiment Nord-Est (subsidiaries of Bouygues Construction) laid the first stone of the future MEL head office, in the presence of Damien Castelain and Martine Aubry. The event marked the beginning of the largest office construction project currently in progress in the Lille metropolitan area.
The idea of reusing materials resulting from renovation or demolition work is gaining momentum. It has to be said that it is very attractive since by reviving this age-old practice, there is indeed much to be gained - new means of recycling, low-cost materials, improved carbon footprint during activities, etc... The list is long. All that remains is to remove any barriers.
Do we necessarily need to live in a megacity to fully enjoy the modern economy?
In France, the construction sector generates more than 40 million tonnes of waste every year and consumes large quantities of resources to meet the needs of renovation and new construction. A situation that contributes to threatening certain resources with scarcity, or even shortage, in the medium to long term. For example, this is the case with sand, of which the sector is a large consumer.
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.
