Grants for building and construction trades
In brief
A building tradesperson can finance occupational risk prevention specific to construction (falls from height, exposure to products), RGE certification, or water management on their worksites. This page lists the schemes currently validated for this trade, with their funder and maximum amount where available.
The grants listed here cover three areas specific to the trade: occupational risk prevention (Cnam, CARSAT), RGE certification (recognized guarantor of the environment), and water management on worksites.
Cnam and CARSAT prevention grants target specific construction risks: falls from height in single-family home construction, generic sector risks (TOP BTP, Prévention BTP).
Obtaining or maintaining RGE certification, required for your customers to access certain energy renovation grants, can itself be financed locally.
The maximum amount is known for most of the schemes listed, generally between €1,000 and €25,000.
Run a personalised scan to identify the public grants and funding your company may be able to access.
What projects are covered?
Prevention grants finance equipment that reduces trade-specific risks: falls from height, exposure to worksite products.
RGE certification grants finance obtaining or maintaining this certification, often required by your customers.
A specific grant finances water management on building trade worksites.
What amount can be obtained?
Observed amounts range from €1,000 for RGE certification to €25,000 for prevention grants, where the maximum amount is known.
The amount actually granted depends on your project and the decision of the funding body.
How do you identify the funding suited to your business?
Several prevention schemes target a specific risk (falls from height, exposure): a manual selection requires carefully identifying the one that matches your actual activity.
The Capital OS scan automatically cross-references these criteria with all referenced public grants, to identify those that genuinely apply to you:
- The nature of your activity (shell construction, finishing work, energy renovation)
- Your location
