Construction

The driving force behind major projects

In a rapidly changing département, construction is one of the most dynamic sectors. Second only to tourism in terms of the number of jobs it provides, the Hautes-Alpes ‘ building and civil engineering companies are renowned for their expertise and high profile. The hosting of the 2030 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games and the need to adapt the housing market are the major projects for the future.

Housing,
a regional issue

Real estate pressure also calls for appropriate solutions. The “Assises du logement” (Housing Conferences) organized in the département opened a dialogue between elected representatives, professionals and residents. The aim is to accelerate the production of housing accessible to young working people and seasonal workers, while ensuring the necessary energy renovation of certain properties.

Towards a more responsible

The industry is not just about events, but also about social responsibility (CSR Hautes-Alpes). Local players are increasing the energy efficiency of their buildings, promoting the use of sustainable materials and integrating social issues into their worksites. The aim is to make the Hautes-Alpes construction industry a showcase for ecological transition and quality of life.

Olympic projects

The 2030 Winter Olympics represent a major lever for business. The infrastructure component includes the modernization of the road and rail networks, which are essential for serving the resorts and ensuring sustainable mobility. In Briançon, the conversion of the Fort des Têtes into an Olympic village illustrates the scale of investment and the region’s ability to combine heritage, modernity and legacy.
