This vision gave rise to a strategy of diversification and rational growth, based on the acquisition of local SMEs with strong local roots and a reputation for expertise. This approach, which has enabled us to build solid expertise in the construction and civil works sector, led to the creation of the Fayat Bâtiment Division, the fruit of a controlled strategy combining local know-how with national ambition.
In 2024, the creation of Fayat Bâtiment Pays de la Loire marked a new stage in the Group's regional development. Dedicated to the Loire-Atlantique region, this agency strengthens Fayat Bâtiment's presence around Nantes (44) and enables closer support for the region's public- and private-sector stakeholders through a structured local presence serving regional projects.
In 2023, SAM FAYAT MONACO created its Building Department, marking a new stage in the Group's development in strategically important areas. This dedicated location enables Fayat Bâtiment to roll out its expertise at the heart of the Principality, working closely with local project owners, and demonstrates the Group's ability to deliver ambitious projects in highly constrained and strategic environments.
Formerly known as the “Technical Department”, FBEI (Fayat Bâtiment Études Ingénierie – Fayat Bâtiment’s design & engineering department) is now a fully-fledged agency within the Division. The aim is to promote its services to all of the Division's entities and establish a department-based structure to provide an effective response to new regulations and evolving market requirements.
In 2020, Seg-Fayat continued to expand in South-West France by opening a new branch in Pau (64). This internal growth has extended the company's presence in the region and strengthened its regional presence in close proximity to projects.
In the same year, the creation of C&S (Carottage & Sciage – Core Boring & Sawing) formed part of a growth-boosting strategy by developing a specialist core boring and sawing activity in Gémenos (13) to meet specific technical needs on construction sites.
Based in Rennes, Espace Engineering joined the FAYAT Group in 2018, strengthening its presence in Western France. With over thirty years of specialised experience in turnkey operations, the company operates as a general contractor, designing and delivering bespoke projects, from design to delivery, for industrial, commercial and tertiary buildings, both new builds and extension or refurbishment schemes. This expertise complements the Group's know-how in integrated project delivery and property developments tailored to local needs. At the same time, Bardon Promotion joined the Group, extending the range of property development and construction services on offer, in addition to the historic activity carried out by Somifa (now Fayat Promotion). This has strengthened the Group's ability to provide end-to-end support for real estate projects, drawing on a solid base in Rennes and a project-driven culture firmly rooted in Western France.
Created in July 2014, Construction & Patrimoine (C&P) became part of the FAYAT Group in October 2016. The company is developing a range of local works and services designed to respond quickly to the needs of the Marseilles area.
As a subsidiary of Bec Construction Provence, C&P can draw on shared human, technical and logistical resources. This support enables it to operate with agility on projects of manageable size, backed by the strength of a national group. This complementarity enhances the efficiency of local teams and ensures continuity of service for both public and private clients.
2016 – Birth of the Fayat Bâtiment Division
After the foundation of the division, the organisation reached a another major milestone in 2016, when Fayat Bâtiment became one of the seven divisions of the Fayat Group, with its own dedicated executive committee, reflecting stronger governance and a clearly defined strategy. The Division quickly established itself as a brand in its own right, bringing together a network of agencies and subsidiaries throughout France and supported by a wide range of trades and expertise. It supports its clients across the entire value chain, from design and construction through to maintenance and operations, while also incorporating property development. Thanks to its general contracting expertise and multidisciplinary teams, Fayat Bâtiment operates in the framework of global contracts (comprehensive public performance-based contracts (MPGP), design-delivery-operation-maintenance contracts (CREM), design-build, etc.) as well as more traditional contracts, and delivers projects of all sizes, from small local works to complex, major national programmes. This structure has given new impetus to the Division's development by consolidating its territorial coverage and ability to respond to the diverse challenges facing different regions.
Fayat Bâtiment Maintenance Multitechnique et Multiservices (FB3M) is a subsidiary created in 2016 to support the Division's entities and respond to Global Contracts (Partnership Contract, CCAEM, MPGP), by providing a tailored multi-technical maintenance and services offering that is as close as possible to customers' needs and performance commitments.
In 2015, SMTL joined the division, rounding out Fayat Bâtiment's offering in the Marseille area. Based in Gémenos (13), the company operates throughout the Provence / PACA region, drawing on local expertise that strengthens the Group's ability to support local projects, alongside the other entities present in the metropolitan area and surrounding region.
Based in Seynod (Haute-Savoie), BP Construction joined the FAYAT Group in 2012, bringing its specialised expertise in structural work, particularly on high-mountain jobsites. The company is accustomed to working at altitude and managing the associated severe constraints (access, weather conditions, seasonality) and stands out for its ability to meet very tight deadlines by completing structural phases before the arrival of snowfall. At the same time, BP Construction also operates in lowland areas, where it carries out residential projects to the same rigorous standards.
2012 – Organisation of the Fayat Group's Building Division
The acquisitions carried out over the years led to the creation in 2012 of a structured building activity in the Group that was now clearly identified within the Building Division, encompassing all integrated subsidiaries. The aim was to unite construction companies around a common vision, while preserving their autonomy, their individual identities and their local roots, as close as possible to the areas in which they operate.
Historically based in Carros (06), the parent company CARI HOLDING and its regional CARI agencies became part of the Fayat Group in 2010 and were renamed Fayat Bâtiment in August 2012. This acquisition laid strong foundations for the national expansion of the Group's building activities, underpinned by a network of branches that expanded the Group's national coverage. Drawing on its extensive general contracting expertise, the Fayat Bâtiment agency network is capable of supporting complex, large-scale projects combining local proximity, high-quality execution and strong project-management capabilities nationwide: Fayat Bâtiment Côte d'Azur (Nice), Cari Méd (Marseille), Cari Aquitaine (Pessac, near Bordeaux), Fayat Bâtiment Grands Projets (Reims), Thouraud (Reims), Fayat Bâtiment Île-de-France (Issy-les-Moulineaux, near Paris), Fayat Bâtiment Lorraine (Metz), Fayat Bâtiment Pays de la Loire (Nantes), as well as Fayat Bâtiment Études & Ingénierie with its national technical division in Nice.
Based in Nice, the head office brings together the national expert support functions for the Division's agencies and subsidiaries, while closely supporting their actions at the local level.
SOMIFA (Société Montage Immobilier Fayat), a property development and construction subsidiary of the FAYAT Group, was created in 2010 to expand the Group's offerings and strengthen its support across the real estate value chain. This entity first intervenes in the earliest stages of identification and management of land and then oversees the end-to-end development of residential and tertiary projects, closely aligned with the needs of local territories and future users. SOMIFA then changed its name to FAYAT PROMOTION in 2021, confirming its role as a property developer and builder within the Division.
The Belgian group SBB (Société Belge des Bétons) and the Dutch operator IGB created Nord France in 1920 to help rebuild northern France following the devastation suffered during the First World War. In 1988, the Nord agency changed its name to Nord France Constructions. The company joined the Fayat Group in 2009, strengthening its presence in the Hauts-de-France region over the long term. This general contractor is renowned for its passion for building and the diversity of its projects, and has further reinforced the Group’s regional coverage, working closely with public and private players in the Nord, Pas-de-Calais and northern Ile-de-France regions. Today, Nord France Constructions is continuing to expand from its head office in Lambersart (59), its agency in Compiègne (60) and its Littoral agency (59), placing its teams and expertise at the service of ambitious and sustainable local projects.
Founded in 1965 and based in Annonay, Roux Cabrero joined the Fayat Group in 2008, consolidating its presence in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region and its historic roots in the Rhône Valley, close to the economic hubs around Lyon. Originally specialising in the construction of single-family homes, the company has since expanded into larger-scale building operations, with renowned expertise in industrial facilities and commercial premises, while delivering a wide range of projects for public and private clients. Today, Roux Cabrero continues to build on this momentum from its base in Annonay (07), supported by its entity Roux Cabrero Industrie, which obtained MASE certification in March 2023, reflecting its strong commitment to safety, occupational health and the environment on industrial sites.
The incorporation of the three subsidiaries of parent company Bec Frères into the Fayat Group in 2002 marked a new stage in the establishment of the Group's presence in three complementary regions. Through its regional entities, the Group has consolidated its presence in the Marne, Languedoc-Roussillon and Provence regions, drawing on teams already locally renowned for their general contracting expertise and close links with stakeholders in these regions.
Bec Construction Languedoc-Roussillon, founded in 1977, has been firmly rooted in its region from the outset, and continues to expand from its base in Saint-Georges-d'Orques near Montpellier (34), in close proximity to the projects throughout the region.
Bec Construction Champagne, based in Épernay (51) since 1963, draws on its long-standing expertise in public and private projects throughout the Champagne region.
Bec Construction Provence, heir to the Marseilles-based family firm Caillol, founded at the beginning of the last century, is now based in Marseilles (13) and Toulon (83) and operates throughout Provence.
Founded in Agen under the name GRI, the company joined the FAYAT Group in 1985, becoming Seg-Fayat in 1992. This acquisition was a key step in establishing the Group's building activities in South-West France, building on the strength of a player already deeply rooted in the region. As the FAYAT Group's first construction company, Seg-Fayat has since expanded the scope of its regional operations and consolidated its general contracting expertise for a wide range of often complex projects. Today, the company continues to expand from its head office in Bordeaux and its five branches – in Agen, Toulouse, Bayonne, Pau and Bordeaux – to provide close support for projects in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine and Occitanie regions, whether for housing, public facilities, healthcare, tertiary or industrial buildings.
