Never two without three, it is said. It is towards a third consecutive year of job destruction that the building is moving, and at an accelerating pace. The sector should lose 30,000, even 35,000Posts of Employees and Equivalent Employed Emploi Full Time in 2025, warns Olivier Salleron, president of the French Building Federation (FFB), during a conjuncture point, this Wednesday, September 10. The sector, which makes 1.7 million people work in France, has already eliminated 28,800 jobs in 2024, almost five times more than in 2023. The consequence of the real estate crisis triggered by the quadrupling of credit rates in 2022 and 2023.
To the fall in sales of new housing is now added, unexpected decline in improvement and maintenance work, which represents 57% of the building activity. While the FFB initially tapped on a 0.6% increase in the turnover of the Improvement-Testure this year, it now anticipates a decrease of 0.8%. “The succession of planer and gels of Maprimerenov ‘ weighs heavily in this trend reversal ”tackle Olivier Salleron. Indeed, households wishing to carry out an energy renovation of their accommodation can no longer request Maprimerénov ‘, the main public aid, from June 23, and until September 30.

Without the building, no economic growth
The situation hardly risks improving the reopening of the counter because the conditions of eligibility in Maprimerénov ‘for magnitude renovations will be hardened. And, from January 1, 2026, insulation of walls and the installation of a biomass boilereffective and relatively affordable, will no longer be subsidized by Maprimerénov ‘in the context of renovations including a single gesture of work. This last measure, provided for by a decree and a decree published on September 9, for budgetary questions, is “terrible”judge Olivier Salleron.
The boss of the FFB denounces “”A huge slap, Informed by Bercy technocrats who have never set foot on a site but who decide that it is not worth renovating the housing of the most modest ”. It is also a “Cataclysm for many small renovation companies, which had invested in the training of technicians, and which see the insulation of the menued walls overnight”he deplores. By forming the wish that “The government which will be formed by New Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornuput back in place ” These two types of work in the Maprimerénov ‘system. “Without the building, there is no economic growth” From the country, recalls Olivier Salleron.
