The best way to describe us is as a global contractor.We use this term to capture in our own way the understanding of our business: design and build by integrating what is often called the “big picture”.

We view each project from a global perspective to manage all its phases, from land acquisition to the early months of occupancy.

The goal is to generate added value at each stage of a building project.We claim our position as a fully cross-discipline operator, dedicated to each phase of design and construction.

Our expertise is brought to realisation by adding that “little bit extra” in each discipline through clever and ingenious insights. Each element of the process and product is optimised to fully meet our customers’ expectations.We guarantee this emphatically. For us a promise made is a promise kept. And one of the first promises we make is to walk our customers into the future. This promise has led us to create the Lab, a sort of think tank which is anchored in the virtuous cycle of innovation and which actively progresses four major themes.

“Our favourite project?

It is certainly the next one...”

Roland PaulCEO of GSE

Architecture, a lasting impression given to a professional space.The digital as a facilitator of business life.The quality of life as a factor influencing performance.Environmental responsibility and security as the company’s commitments in a demanding environmental and social context.The purpose of all this? Help ensure that the occupants of a building can find therein the conditions for genuine development.

If we have succeeded in the last 40 years in following these same ambitions, it is because the men and women of GSE share the same immutable values. They all have a strong commitment and a pioneering spirit.

It is no coincidence that we are building strong and lasting relationships based on these principles. These relationships lead us beyond our borders in Europe or even China - where we have been operating for over 20 years! With these principles, we have cultivated over the last 40 years a taste for work well done.

Real-estate for SME

Retail, logistics, real-estate for SME, industry...At GSE, we work on all types of projects with the ability to perfectly understand each business, its constraints and its aspirations.

If we focus exclusively on these four areas of expertise, it is for better developing our know-how and experience which today are our major references.This position of specialists claimed by us allows us to participate quite upstream in projects for which we master perfectly all the ins and outs. Our strength? Working as an interface between all the building trades, we ensure the consistency of decisions and stimulate an emulation in the service of each project.

Our engineering experts can deploy their talent with confidence, with the certainty that the process will not be disturbed by uncertainties that will not influence their work.

Originally a Design & Build Turnkey Contractor, we have grown into our role as global contractor. Besides our vocation to be true conductors of this orchestra, which harmonises and unites all the construction trades to complete your project, we have the ability to view the full picture while staying close to ground realities:- by our geographical proximity to our customers as well

as our global reach,- by our services covering various areas of expertise

while keeping a watchful eye on every detail,- by controlling our subjects from upstream to

downstream with a demanding level of requirements.

Whatever your project, our commitment remains the same. We share the same stakes with you.

Retail

Our understanding of trade applies to the design of a building, fixtures, communication flows.We have mastered these elements in every detail. For over 40 years, we conduct our business in the field of shopping centres, malls, specialty stores and retail parks.However, our role is not confined to the study, design and implementation of a project. It also covers the interior design work in common and private spaces, during a remodelling, a renovation or extension.A sound knowledge of the needs of hypermarkets, shopping centres, malls, retail parks and shopping galleries allows us to intervene in operating buildings without disturbing the business flow.

To act as an expert and think like a pioneer...

To be ahead of our times, we have to provide the means. We plan each new project through the prism of the Lab, an operational think tank created by GSE, which brings together experts capable of meeting the challenges of the 21st century architecture and the need to work better.They imagine “smart” buildings open to digital technologies.They think eco-citizenship and integrate the well-being at the centre of everyday life.

“Taking the time to be ahead of our times”

Stand at a height to see farther.The Lab is a perfectly complementary entity and an essential part of the GSE Group. It allows simultaneously with our projects, to keep a keen eye and an open mind on solutions, opportunities, developments.By standing back, we progress better.

Bringing together skills in architecture, digital innovation, environment and also by making use of consultants when necessary for artistic and sociological questions, the GSE Lab promotes new ideas and develops innovative solutions.

In the world of construction, numerous conventions and diktats are imposed on processes, methods and solutions. Today, more than ever, the world is in a state of movement. Lifestyles are changing. Work methods are also constantly changing. We believe that the future is invented every morning by questioning all the plans plotted before in order to invent new methods.

Audacity, more audacity, always audacity.

Make our future the most beautiful site...

Open new perspectives in architecture.

Supporting talent and deploying our own.

Thinking and acting in harmony with your architect.

If the architects have led the way and continue to inspire GSE, it is also essential to constantly question ourselves.

Working in coordination with architects chosen by our customers or by setting up a full dedicated team, GSE Lab brings an innovative and uninhibited attitude towards architecture.Breaking codes and preconceptions, it is an open view of life that is reinvented by the GSE Lab.

“We move the lines, walls and attitudes.”


25

The digital universeserving your constructions. Welcome

to a new era.

Connected to machines, but also to men who command.

The 2020s are close and nothing is as before.Connected living has become a reality and this is only the beginning.This new lifestyle where we can communicate, monitor, act remotely with interfaces between man and machine is an invitation to rethink the way of life in its professional environment.This major concern is one of the pillars of reflection guiding the GSE Lab and its actions.

Smart and connected buildings that allow imagining an entirely new way of life:• Information systems perfectly integrated into the design to facilitate the work of

operators and providers.• Simplify and streamline collaboration between players in the same building with the

BIM (Building Information Modeling).• Controlling energy consumption without detracting from user comfort (thermal,

visual, acoustic).• Remote control of building (heating, lighting...).• Safety first, even if the building is occupied or not.• Communication and interaction of appliances and equipment between them.• Local energy production.

“Connected living has become real and this is only the beginning.”


27

Integrate each project in its environmental dimension.

Responsible for our actions, proud of our commitments.

Go beyond the standards and exceed the specifications.

Environmental concerns are addressed according to applicable standards.

We have to consider these priorities, not as a constraint but as additional gains, to offer fully integrated constructions in tune with their environment and in line with lifestyles.Officials and citizens, our commitments claimed result in constructions that combine resource conservation, eco-friendly solutions, friendly and functional living spaces and full inclusion in the life of the community.

High environmental quality is our minimum to respect and we have not expected that the concerns related to the environment are integrated into project specifications in order to address concerns about the future of our planet.The environmental approach is a voluntary process that allows building owners to enhance current best practices and to recognise the environmental and energy performance of buildings according to a grid with different targets, such as energy management, health quality of air, pollution, and more precisely, to reduce the impact of construction on the environment.

“Solutions to live better

together, now and for a long

time.”


29

Redefining the art of living based on work ethics.

Integrate aesthetics in all technical aspects.Beauty is a friend of goodness.It works best when operating in an environment conducive to trade, resourcing and welfare.In this, the GSE Lab has chosen to include among its priorities a constant search for aesthetics in the service of quality of life.Rethinking spaces, open volumes, inviting the colours... Our architect leaves nothing to chance.Why should the work be a work when you can really enjoy doing it?By combining our efforts with the architectural concerns, we consider art as an essential factor in the added value of our solutions.

“We work better when we operate in an environment conducive to exchanges…”

Our role is not limited to the simple design and construction of the commercial building, it also covers the interior design work of common and private spaces, with particular sensitivity to the needs of end customers.

HISTORY OF THE WORKSITE

“The Antibes store is located in the city centre, at the site of the Grand Hotel in the city of Antibes.The project features the installation of Monoprix in an old building and is managed by two principals. The first managed the restructuring of the building and the second took care of the interior. A complex project with access constraints and operational difficulties related to installation of work site in the city centre. The turnkey solution offered by GSE was quickly approved by Monoprix. A single contract with the participation of project manager of the lessor and project management of Monoprix has reduced the overall duration of project completion by three months, essential point in meeting our objectives of opening time. Despite the discoveries and disappointments encountered during construction, GSE met its commitments. Finally, this approach minimises the number of players involved thus simplifying the management and reducing the workload of the project manager.”

The first impressionis always the one that counts.

There is a life during office.

Offering the best balance between occupancy costs, usage and image quality, this is the perfect combination which we strive to provide to our customers.

We keep in mind the fact that more than housing an activity, business premises are show case for customers and partners of our customers.The first steps in clean designed building play the role of a valuable business reference and create a lasting impression enhancing your corporate image in the mind of the visitor.

Today, we have completely reviewed the work environment by integrating the logic of wellness, to work better.

Professional time is no longer an interlude but has to be optimised, participating in the quality of life and personal development of each employee.Thus, everyone can give the best of himself in an environment that promotes personal growth.

The quality of the building, site security and economics of the project.The quality of the building is outstanding with a dedication to detail from GSE.On security, I appreciated the internal procedures of GSE that has made every effort to ensure that the worksite is organised in the best conditions and with great transparency with regard to the contracting authority on the management of accidents and events.As for the economics of the project, I appreciated the transparency of GSE and its ability to respond quickly to the needs of change that characterizes the activity of the CEA.”

“Our first experience of construction with a Design & Build Turnkey Contractor was with GSE for the extension of our Toulouse site. We were therefore able to test, their commitment, expertise, and efficiency. For the project of Aix-les-Bains, we needed a more efficient service: find the ideal site, qualify it, convince the community, complete the land formalities and of course, design our industrial laundry in compliance with the objectives. The mobilisation of GSE teams, their expertise, responsiveness and transparency make it a valuable partner for an industry in the conduct of its international expansion plan.”

Laurent MAILLARDDirector Industrial Projects - Elis

For the construction of a production unit, the selection of the best positioned site is not sufficient: it marks the beginning of a series of tests for qualification.

For an industrial laundry, optimisation of water consumption is an important issue, technical studies are needed. Beyond the technical feasibility, it is necessary to inform the authorities, to reassure them and above all, to reach a consensus in favour of the project.The involvement of regional GSE teams, their knowledge of both local players and the project of their customer are assets of great value in providing support to an industry, to represent it validly in order to be successful in complex operations of overall preparatory work.

CREMeleti (LO) - ItalyProduction unit.

A real-estate project is subject to many uncertainties, such as those that delay the administrative permits or the signing of deeds and thus, the work starting date and, of course, the date of delivery.

The efficiency of industrial planning hardly satisfies the requirement of flexibility imposed. To bring together these two worlds, GSE undertakes a systematic project optimisation process and if necessary, proposes a provision of industrial space in advance of the delivery of the work to allow the installation process, completing many mandatory inspections and settings, or even, sometimes, start of operations.

This highly technical installation of approximately 19 000 m2 required great care in terms of optimization of interfaces between the process and the building, to have no possible conflict on its commissioning.GSE was selected for its architectural design which was the best, but also because of its proposals in terms of technical optimisations allowing Air Liquide to achieve an effective balance between its initial investment and operating costs.

Moreover, a strong emphasis was placed on the environmental impact of the project to target LEED Gold and two stars Chinese Certifications.

“When looking for a building with flexibility it usually ends up becoming too large, having to sublet or too small, having to move too often. We were looking for flexibility in height and it is something that we do not find in the existing offers, hence the decision to build a customised building.”
