EGF BTP, or Entreprises Générales de France BTP, is a professional organization headquartered in Paris, representing general contractors in building and public works across France. Founded to unite and advocate for firms capable of managing complex construction projects, EGF BTP now comprises companies that, collectively, account for about €20 billion in annual turnover and employ close to 80,000 people nationwide.
EGF BTP’s core activities center on new construction and the renovation of both residential and tertiary buildings. Its members are engaged not just in technical execution but in project engineering, coordination, and long-term performance commitments. They address projects in both the private and social sectors and have developed expertise in industrialized building processes, such as the Logipass method used at Saint-Quentin to reduce costs and construction time, or EnergieSprong renovations in Wattrelos that target zero energy consumption for social housing.
The organization is known for pioneering sustainable solutions, including the “Les Jardins de Stains” social housing operation, recognized for energy efficiency and multi-actor collaboration. EGF BTP's influence is visible through regional delegations and its role in European industry forums. Recently, it has called for sweeping measures to accelerate building renovations in France, emphasizing the need for systemic change to meet climate and housing targets. EGF BTP's work spans advocacy, technical innovation, and the promotion of fair social policies within construction.
