Residential property: Bouygues Immobilier is anticipating the regulatory changes that will affect the property business
Bouygues Immobilier builds homes in France and four other European countries (Portugal, Spain, Belgium and Poland), designing living spaces suited to the particular needs and resources of each client. It was the first property developer in France to obtain ISO 9001 certification.The environment is a key concern for Bouygues Immobilier. That is why the company is already getting ready for the new requirements that will come into force in 2013 (the BBC low-energy building standard) and 2020 (positive-energy buildings). Bouygues Immobilier intends to become a standard-setter during the transition phase.
From 1 July 2010, all building permit applications will include a request for BBC low-energy certification. Over 6,000 low-energy properties will be on offer this year alone.
