en.Wedoany.com Reported - Since joining the Acieo Group in 2024, Deschamps has taken a new step in its strategic transformation by developing prefabricated off-site construction (hors site). In mid-March, the company installed a batch of modules in Louverné, Mayenne, France, for Méduane Habitat, for a 12-unit collective housing project. With an investment of €1.8 million and scheduled for delivery in September 2026, this is one of the first demonstration projects for collective housing using prefabricated off-site techniques in the region. Designed by Romain Leblanc Architecte, the project employs a standardized grid system, combining main structures with supplementary modules to flexibly accommodate different layouts ranging from two-bedroom to four-bedroom units.

Historically focused on timber frame and metal frame businesses, the company's transformation continues the strategy it has pursued in the single-family home market since 2019. General Manager Nathalie Deschamps stated that it is necessary to break the market's entrenched perception that prefabricated off-site construction is of poor quality, noting that the company's first modular buildings have already achieved passive house standards. In addition to improving performance and optimizing construction efficiency, modular construction also brings operational improvements, including better working conditions, guaranteed timelines, and reduced construction disruption to the surrounding environment. Production Manager Damien Renard pointed out that, thanks to integrating local partners such as carpenters, plasterboard workers, electricians, and plumbers within the workshop, the company's prefabrication rate currently exceeds 70%, compared to less than 50% in 2019.

Modular business currently accounts for 20% of Deschamps' turnover. Company management believes that being part of the Acieo Group is a key factor supporting the growth of this business, helping to expand into the collective housing sector in the Grand-Ouest region, as well as the industrial and commercial sectors.
