About Hey Concrete

Hey Concrete is a construction technology company founded in 2022 by Benjamin Barlatier and Pierre-Eliott Peyrat. Barlatier's background includes experience at Holcim and in venture capital, while Peyrat's expertise lies in full-stack development and product management. They established the company to address the complexity and opacity of the concrete industry for small construction companies and individuals.

The firm specializes in providing a range of eco-friendly concrete solutions tailored for residential and urban development projects. Its business model focuses on simplifying the concrete ordering process through a digital platform that offers transparent pricing and access to a network of local, independent concrete plants. This allows clients, such as building professionals and private individuals, to easily compare prices, select the appropriate type of concrete for their needs, and schedule delivery online. Hey Concrete generates revenue by taking a commission on each transaction facilitated through its platform.

The company's product catalog includes various types of concrete, such as fiber-reinforced, decorative, and low-carbon options. By partnering with local producers, Hey Concrete aims to reduce transportation distances and associated carbon emissions. The platform serves clients primarily in France, with a focus on making specialized and sustainable concrete more accessible for projects like terraces, swimming pools, and house foundations.
