Amourdedieu Groupe
Strategic AI Audit — Construction
The context
A growing BTP group that wanted to choose where to invest.
100 employees · construction & public works
The finding
in hidden costs per year, across 14 documented frictions.
The approach
The scenarios
Trial-and-error approach, gentle learning curve.
Briefs + invoicing + traceability.
Deep overhaul, but heavy team effort.
The result
A BTP group of 100 employees, seeking an outside view.
Amourdedieu Groupe, a player in construction and public works, faced recurring inefficiencies: time-consuming manual invoicing, unreliable waste traceability, technical briefs written under pressure.
The CEO wanted a structured, outside view before investing in digital. Not a vendor — a diagnosis.
€109,000/yr in hidden costs, across 14 friction points.
The audit drew on 9 interviews with key teams (management, site managers, administration, accounting) and over 7 hours of on-site immersion to observe real processes.
Result: 14 friction points documented, €109,000/yr of hidden costs revealed — wasted time, errors, re-entries, non-compliance.
16 concrete AI solutions, prioritised objectively.
Each friction was matched to one or more possible AI solutions. No hype: only what is deployable, measurable, ROI-positive.
The 16 solutions were then ranked on two axes — technical feasibility and financial impact — then turned into 3 costed investment scenarios.
Three scenarios. The CEO chose the balanced one.
Cautious scenario: gradual start on 1-2 frictions. Balanced scenario: AI kit deployed in 8 weeks. Ambitious scenario: full transformation over 6 months.
The balanced one wins. Initial investment under €10,000, estimated annual gains of €60,000.
Under €10,000 invested. €60,000/yr in gains.
ROI comes in at 2 months. The move to the development phase was approved immediately after the audit debrief.
Today we support Amourdedieu on deploying the prioritised solutions. Every month, we measure the real gains — and adjust.
