RIM Group

Building experience.Broadening horizons.

Founded in 1998, RIM began its activity in the waterproofing and refurbishment of private buildings. Over almost three decades it has progressively broadened its capabilities, the areas in which it operates and the scale of the projects it delivers.

Today, the RIM Group operates in three complementary areas: engineering and construction, real estate development, and concessions and operations. Engineering and construction remain at the heart of its identity and the foundation of everything the Group does.
