Every ECT development project brings about lasting change to a site, benefiting the local communities and their residents. At the heart of this effort is the Development Department, where project managers play a vital role : they conceive, implement, and coordinate these meaningful, non-construction projects—whether focused on the environment or society—in close collaboration with local authorities.

In December 2025, ECT conducted its annual survey among its clients in the construction and public works sector to assess their level of satisfaction with our offerings and services for the reception of excavated soil from their construction sites. In a context shaped by the current crisis in the construction industry, we sought to broaden this survey to address more overarching issues.

These results reflect ECT’s close, client-focused commercial support, as well as our work alongside local

In May 2025, Louis Canesse joined the ECT landscaping team as a landscape designer. Today, he talks about the landscape designer’s role in the company’s non-built projects.
