Multi-trade renovation contractor for occupied buildings and social housing
Acorus operates a multi-disciplinary renovation business focused on occupied-site work, serving social housing landlords as their primary customer base. The tech stack is heavily weighted toward building controls (Siemens, Schneider Electric, BACNET, MODBUS) and site documentation (AutoCAD, office tools), reflecting a field-operations-first business model. Current hiring is construction-heavy (32 roles) with a parallel push in engineering (27 roles), signaling expansion into technical project delivery and systems commissioning as the company scales regionally across France.

Acorus specializes in renovation work on occupied buildings, operating across five core service lines: rehabilitation, housing restoration, routine maintenance, maintenance contracts, and accessibility adaptation. The company serves social housing landlords as its primary customer base, with growing work in hospitality, energy, and insurance sectors. Since founding in 1996, Acorus has built a decentralized operating model of ten autonomous mini-teams across six regional agencies (Île-de-France, Nantes, Bordeaux, Lyon, and planned expansion to Strasbourg). The workforce spans ten distinct trades and has grown substantially through organic hiring and selective acquisitions (e.g., Peintisol for painting, flooring, and insulation work). Current active projects include building system commissioning, eco-renovation delivery, HQE/BREEAM certification for tertiary sites, housing rehabilitation, Wi-Fi and network deployment, energy management, and CCTV/intrusion system installation.
