The VINCI Energies “Service Sector” business line becomes “Building Solutions”
VINCI Energies has affirmed its strategic positioning in the building sector with a common banner, “Building Solutions”.
Building Solutions brings together the business units operating in engineering and works, whose activity is carried out under local brands, with the business units in technical maintenance and facility management, whose activity is carried out by the brand VINCI Facilities.
In total, this represents more than 400 business units in 15 countries, with revenue of more than €3 billion and a workforce of 18,000 people.
Recent acquisitions in Sweden, with Eitech (€50 million revenue in this business line), and in Singapore, with Wah Loon (€125 million revenue, mainly in data centres), have strengthened our international presence.
Changes in technology, the trend towards taking into account the end use of buildings at an increasingly early stage, 3D, BIM, and the use of connected objects in smart buildings are all factors that require more synergy between the works and service professions.
While VINCI Facilities has to think ahead about how to provide facility management for a building five years into the future, our works business units are often sought out by the project owner three or four years before they hand over the project.
The future of facility management thus joins the present of works.
We are involved at all stages of design, engineering, construction, renovation, operation and maintenance of a building.
We will be yet stronger and offer more pertinent solutions by combining our expertise.
