EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The total building construction output was expected to reach FF424 billion (ECU64 billion) in 1997, with new building work representing 44 percent of the total output and repair, maintenance and improvement work accounting for 56 percent of the total.

MSI estimate that the number of apartment buildings started in 1997 was 113 100 and the number of individual houses started were 155 500, together representing 268 600 dwellings started.

The market for house building can be segmented into two sectors: the social and private sectors, with the private sector accounting for the highest number of both apartment buildings and houses started in France over the review period.

MSI believe that a number of factors have a significant impact on demand for new housing. Indeed, the client's willingness and ability to purchase a house combined with economic factors such as the level of unemployment strongly influence the market. Moreover, such factors as government incentives and demographic trends affect demand as well.

Trade sources report different economic and demographic trends in the 22 regions of France which, in turn, affect the number of dwellings started in every region. Ile-de-France recorded the highest number of dwelling starts over the review period. Private housing starts represented the largest share of all housing starts in Midi-Pyr‚n‚es in 1997 whereas the largest number of social housing starts was reported in Nord-Pas-de-Calais region.

House builders must consider a number of critical factors that are essential to succeed in the market for house building such as price, quality, the company's reputation, sales and marketing efforts and their own financial situation.

MSI believe that the structure of the French house building industry is rather fragmented in the houses and social housing sectors whereas the apartment building industry is led by a small number of large companies operating in various industries in France and worldwide.

In France, house builders are subject to a number of regulations which affect both the public and private sectors. In addition, house builders have to be aware of the different specification procedures due to the fact that decision makers are not the same in the two sectors.
