Shake up the market, everyone
counts!
The main goal of this undertaking is to offer a space
suitable for all kinds of initiatives with a view to
fostering and developing home renovations and energy
efficiency. For some months now, Renovate more in
Fréjus has been generating a great many encounters
where the goals and operating methods of the
undertaking can be presented. This is an opportunity
for prospective partners to make their ambitions and
constraints known and to take time to reflect on offers
that are coherent with the undertaking's goals and
their own strategies.
Some enterprises like to try things out first, taking
advantage of 'Renovate more in Fréjus' to test the
waters and launch new and innovative offers; for
example, they might suggest an all-inclusive service,
starting from the initial analysis all the way through to
final completion.
To date, twenty-five partners have already signed the
charter, offering specific services as part of the
Renovate more in Fréjus undertaking.
And the list of partners is certainly not complete
because the undertaking is intended to continue
indefinitely. Any organisation, enterprise or
professional person interested in energy efficient
thermal renovation is invited to join the
undertaking at any time, proposing their
cooperation and putting forward offers.
