Its teams support the development of infrastructures for energy production and low-carbon public transport and contribute their expertise to help design, build and refurbish the buildings and neighbourhoods that our society relies upon (for healthcare, education, work, tourism, leisure, public services and defence).
Spanning the entire construction industry value chain
Bouygues Construction harnesses all the necessary expertise to address the needs of any kind of project or challenge, whatever the scale, from the design to operation of infrastructure, right up to its eventual deconstruction.
A MULTI-LOCAL GROUP SPREAD ACROSS OVER 60 COUNTRIES
It is a worldwide network of subsidiaries boasting expertise in building and civil works. This is further bolstered by the presence of VSL across the globe, of A W Edwards in Australia, Dragages in Hong Kong and Losinger Marazzi in Switzerland.
strategic priorities
Develop low-carbon buildings and infrastructure
Bouygues Construction enjoys unrivalled expertise in developing the critical infrastructure on which society depends – from low-carbon and renewable energy power generation systems (nuclear, offshore wind and solar), to public and electro-mobility transport networks, urban renewal and regeneration projects, and sustainable residential, commercial and industrial buildings.
With close to 60% of its sales generated outside France, Bouygues Construction is aiming to expand its footprint into new developed, high-potential markets.
Continue putting people first
Bouygues Construction aims to preserve this precious resource while transforming its corporate and managerial culture and preparing its people for the challenges that lie ahead. Trust, simplicity, teamwork and pioneering spirit are the four core values that underpin this strategy.
Building differently
In its drive to support “construction not destruction”, Bouygues Construction is rolling out eco-designs through the use of bio-based materials, embracing timber construction through the WeWood initiative, conducting R&D into low-carbon concrete, recycling and reusing materials through the dedicated Cynéo platform, and taking steps to dramatically reduce worksite waste and improve energy efficiency. This also means ramping up the renovation and conversion of existing buildings, such as through “BYSprong”, a solution for large-scale energy renovation of housing. And in keeping with its “build differently” philosophy, Bouygues Construction is shifting to mass-scale, digital technology-powered production methods with a focus on optimising design, using prefabricated structures and building outside normal cycles.
Operational priorities
- Full compliance with the core fundamentals: health and safety, business ethics and human rights.
- Expand the network of subsidiaries and win more large-scale projects outside France.
- Transform the businesses through mass production and digitalisation.
- Reduce CO2 emissions in line with SBTi targets and develop a responsible supply chain.
- Commit to low-carbon infrastructure projects and solutions.

committed
The group contributes to the major societal shifts that are under way, whilst creating value and jobs.
Two guiding principles: health & safety and HR ethics
The health and safety of its employees is an absolute priority for Bouygues Construction, reflected in a single global standard: the “zero accident” objective. This aim is expressed in several initiatives, such as workforce training, continuous improvement of construction methods, anti-addiction campaigns and more stringent on-site controls.
Major projects
The world is changing, and each day the people at Bouygues Construction show their responsibility and commitment as they help to transform it.
Bouygues Construction offers a comprehensive vision of regional and urban transformation, backed up by a collaborative approach to planning and development.
As well as being scalable and connected, the projects and neighbourhoods that Bouygues Construction designs and builds are becoming service-centred and environmentally responsible, like Îlot Fertile, the first zero-carbon district in Paris, or reversible and flexible, like the Work#1 building in Lyon.
And because a sustainable environment is the result of synergies between its buildings and the flows of energy and services that give them life, Bouygues Construction also builds and connects the passenger, goods and data transport infrastructure they need to ensure their economic development and make them attractive. Coming from a long-standing tradition of actively supporting social causes, Bouygues Construction has invested for many years in the countries, regions and towns in which it operates in order to support communities and truly weave itself into the fabric of local society. The Bouygues Construction Foundation embodies these values, supporting young people and their teachers, working hard to establish equality in education and knowledge-sharing.
