Our solutions for the building and construction industry

The vast construction sector is subdivided into sub-sectors: building, public works, and infrastructure. It encompasses activities such as the production of materials (e.g., aggregates), construction itself, infrastructure development and maintenance, engineering, and building and public works.

The construction sector is at the heart of major transitions that require guidelines and signs of confidence: energy, ecological, and digital transitions. Not to mention the challenges of accessibility and inclusion.

Some key figures for the sector

  • 602,000 businesses
  • €171 billion in revenue in 2024
  • 1 million direct and indirect jobs
  • 95% of companies with fewer than 10 employees
