Study and design
Site surveys, circulation analysis, layout drawings, graphic design, simulations in situ.
Over twenty years in the trade
The reach of a group.
The decisions of a small team.
Boussole designs the signage and the interior fit-out of professional premises, has them manufactured and installs them.
Head offices, healthcare facilities, public buildings, industrial and office sites.
We have been in this trade for over twenty years, on projects counted in thousands of square metres, in hundreds of line items, and in weeks of installation on sites that keep running while the work goes on.
We work as a network: workshops that each specialise in one technique, accredited installation teams spread across the country, a design office for the structural calculations. You therefore do not have to split your order between an engraver, a printer and an installer, nor to make their schedules coincide. Each piece goes to the workshop that makes it best, and the coordination stays with us.
For you it comes down to something simple: a contact who decides rather than an account manager who passes things on, a quotation within three days of the visit, and the whole administrative side handled without you having to deal with it.
Our capabilities
Everything from the first site survey to the handover.
Regulatory formalities
Consent applications and sign authorisations for projects in France, structural calculations, health and safety plans.
Manufacture
Network of partner workshops covering cutting, printing, powder coating, engraving and LED backlighting.
Installation
Teams accredited for work at height and electrical work, working on occupied sites and outside normal hours, anywhere in France.
Follow-up
Site coordination, joint handover inspection, as-built documentation, repairs and extensions.
Supplier documentation
Professional indemnity insurance certificate, company registration documents and the accreditations of the installers, provided on request for your supplier approval file.
The way we work
Four principles, held to on every project.
One contact, not a chain
The site survey, the pricing, the project follow-up and the handover all go through the same contact. You explain your project once, and you do not have to describe a building constraint again at every step.
The quotation reads line by line
Design, manufacture, installation, formalities: every item is priced separately. You can decide, remove or postpone. A lump sum that cannot be broken down mainly serves whoever draws it up.
Constraints are stated at the start
A processing time, a regulatory impossibility, a substrate that will not take the load: better to hear it at the first visit than three weeks before the opening.
Each piece goes to whoever makes it best
We work with workshops that each specialise in one technique, rather than with a single workshop that would do everything acceptably. The choice is made on the piece, not on habit.
Where we work
The whole of France from Paris, and Spain on specific projects.
Our head office is in Rueil-Malmaison, immediately next to La Défense and the western edge of Paris. That is where the design work and the coordination are handled.
For installation we rely on accredited teams spread across the country, which makes it possible to roll out the same identity on several sites at once without multiplying suppliers or contacts.
We also work in Spain on specific projects.
Let us talk about your project.
The site survey takes about forty-five minutes, it commits you to nothing, and you come away with a clear view of what is possible and of the timescales to allow for.
