After, beginning of November, the Builders' Show, day of discussions around the building organized at the Village by CA, the Réunipro association, which implements the quality label of the same name, is working this year on an event more centered around its label holders.
Founded in 2022, Réunipro is a label from Reunion, only one of its kind in France, guaranteeing the reliability and quality of services provided by companies in the field of construction and housing. Its two founders, Flavien Bourhis and Lucas Laravine, originally embarked on this project to spare others the difficulties they had encountered with failing builders of individual houses. For companies in the construction sector, structural work and secondary work, the label is a way of promoting their seriousness and their know-how. Based on financial and extra-financial criteria and on customer reviews, the approach is intended to be exhaustive and relies on partners (accounting firm and survey organization) independent and recognized. It has already interested several dozen companies. Nowadays, ten companies obtained this label out of more than a hundred having attempted the entry audit, which demonstrates a high level of requirement and an audit carried out without concession. First start-up hosted at the Village by CA, Réunipro has become an association. Beyond the label, it intends to contribute to improving practices for a “more responsible” building sector, more durable and more professional”. In this, Réunipro joins other initiatives supported by professional and institutional circles. The purpose of the Builders’ Show, last November 7, was to bring them together to take stock. For the small association, the participation of actors such as CAPEB, the FRBTP, l'Adir, banks, the insurance, construction suppliers or France Travail, at its round tables and conferences, has shown that the message it carries is noticed and heard.
From one living room to another
“We brought together important players to discuss the concrete issues of construction in Reunion Island, and solutions where competence and transparency become essential references. The show generated a lot of contacts for us, which we will now develop”, explains Leïla Lebon, president of the Réunipro association. It is in this context that, seeking to become better known, the association now plans to organize a Réunipro label show. A two-day meeting that will highlight certified companies and what they embody. The first day reserved for partners (banks, assurances, accounting experts, communications providers, etc.) and the second open to individuals. The organization of the project is underway and the association is currently looking for a space and a city wishing to host this first Réunipro Show.
