Devis, factures et chantiers pour le bâtiment, par EBP (groupe Cegid)
Market position
EBP Bâtiment is the building-trade range of EBP, a French business-software publisher based in Gazeran that joined the Cegid group in July 2024. It comes in three editions (ACTIV, PRO and ELITE) covering quotes, invoices, progress billing, worksite tracking and a mobile app, with PRO and ELITE adding planning, stock and purchasing. EBP integrates the plateforme agréée Shine for French e-invoicing.
France-specific note
EBP says its building range complies with the French e-invoicing reform through the integrated plateforme agréée Shine, which is on the DGFiP list of registered platforms. If you price from a works library, budget separately for Batiprix or Batichiffrage, which EBP connects to but does not supply.

Why this matters for France trades
Since 1 September 2026 every French business must be able to receive B2B e-invoices through a plateforme agréée registered by the State (CGI art. 289 bis), and PME, TPE and micro-entreprises must issue them by 1 September 2027; DGFiP says no sanctions apply in 2026 while businesses adapt. Assurance décennale (Loi Spinetta) must be in place before work starts, and building without it is punishable by 6 months’ imprisonment and/or a 75,000 euro fine, per service-public.fr. TVA on building work on homes is 20% standard, 10% for improvement, transformation, fitting-out and maintenance, and 5.5% for energy renovation, with the reduced rates only for dwellings completed more than two years ago. Clients can only claim MaPrimeRénov’, the éco-PTZ or CEE bonuses if the work is done by an RGE professional. Businesses register through the Guichet des formalités des entreprises, with the CMA advising artisans, and regulated building trades must be carried out or controlled by a qualified person (CAP, BEP or BP, an equivalent RNCP title, or three years’ experience).
French artisan (bâtiment) vendor selection is shaped by facturation électronique (every business must be able to receive e-invoices through a plateforme agréée since 1 September 2026, and PME, TPE and micro-entreprises must issue them by 1 September 2027), compulsory assurance décennale taken out before work starts, multi-rate TVA (20%, 10% and 5.5%), the RGE label that homeowner clients need to claim energy-renovation aid, and the micro-entrepreneur regime with its turnover ceilings and VAT franchise.
