Philippe Rampon joins the works brokerage network, Activ Travaux

The new construction broker under the Activ Travaux brand in Loiret, Philippe Rampon, has been operational since the end of January 2011. Philippe covers the entire South of Orléans, the Southwest of Loiret and the Loire Valley.

The arrival of this brand new broker, Activ Travaux, in Loiret is a relief: in both the South and the North of the department, the hassle of construction work is now over!

Philippe Rampon is a local. At 44, he admits that he has "always lived in the region ," and his attachment is understandable! Composed of urban and rural landscapes : the " AgglO ," which brings together more than 270.000 people, an exceptional valley listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site... it is a region that stands out as much for its biological diversity as for its historical and cultural richness.

« I'm self-taught. I trained in public works, then worked in quarries. I was an operations manager for 20 years. » Driven by the desire to undertake, Philippe Rampon became interested in the profession of works broker. 
« I had decided to start something. I know a lot of craftsmen. They were the ones who told me about construction brokerage. »

With a touch of humor, he confides, " I chose Activ Travaux because they're good businesspeople and they won me over. " Beyond the team's personal touch , what truly convinced Philippe Rampon to launch his business under the Activ Travaux banner was the support , the training —in short, the entire environment offered to Activ Travaux brokers. Thus, while remaining independent, he benefits not only from the credibility of a national brand, but above all from its experience. Equipped with solid tools , he embarks on this new chapter.

Construction broker, instructions for use

The clients of a works broker are individuals or companies who wish to be supported in their work and ensure their success.
Thus, the broker plays a real role in facilitating the work:

► Its mission is to propose solutions (quotes, service providers, etc.), ensure that the work is done properly, respecting the announced deadlines, and that the cost of the project is in line with the market.

► its scope of action can range from the complete construction of a house to the renovation of a bathroom or a shop.

On the side of the artisans

The work of a construction broker begins even before meeting clients. They proactively identify building professionals representing all trades: plasterers, electricians, masons, plumbers, renewable energy specialists, architects, engineering firms, decorators, and interior designers. The team thus assembled typically comprises around thirty carefully selected local contractors.

Selecting craftsmen, verifying their status, their professional insurance and the quality of their services, is an essential challenge that must be met because it will allow the broker to be responsive to the demands of his clients.

As a guarantee of transparency and objectivity during the referencing process, tradespeople pay no entry fee but compensate the broker based on the volume of business they generate. The brokers' sales support represents a time saving for them and additional work in the future. They are happy to cooperate: " Quotes aren't more expensive as a result ." The tradespeople simply include the brokers' commission in their service fees, without any markup.

On the customer side

Individuals and businesses using Activ Travaux benefit from a completely free service. They can rely on a single point of contact who will: analyze and understand their needs, quickly provide them with quotes, and offer completion times that meet their expectations.

By facilitating connections, the broker saves clients the stress of searching for the right tradespeople. They simply choose from the quotes presented by the broker, with the guarantee of dealing with vetted professionals offering services at market prices. This free, no-obligation saving of time and energy proves to be an invaluable service!

But the broker's role does not stop there; during the work, he carries out commercial monitoring of the site and then ensures customer satisfaction after the work has been delivered. All the conditions are thus met for the work to proceed smoothly and without any surprises.
