The value of a Parisian property is not found in a listing. It is found in the plans, the AGM minutes, the building’s pathologies and in what the contractor shows you, or chooses not to. CH_G steps in before the signature to read what you cannot see, and during construction to protect what you have bought.

Experience at the service of the owner

Charbel Ghanem

Charbel Ghanem

Architect, France - Lebanon

Architect holding a specialised Master’s degree in Owner Representation and Built Heritage Management, Charbel Ghanem has spent over twenty years on assignments that leave no room for approximation.

From Parisian real estate portfolios to large-scale international projects, the same approach has been refined : identify what is wrong, before it becomes expensive.

Today, CH_G applies this experience to two precise missions : a Building Survey before you buy, and Owner Representation while you are elsewhere.

THE THREE PILLARS

INDEPENDENCE

CH_G receives no commission.
No interest in how works are awarded.
No commercial ties with any contractor working on your property.

What you read in the report is what Charbel Ghanem observed.
Nothing else.

ARCHITECTURAL EXPERTISE

Twenty years reading Parisian buildings : Haussmann structures, mixed construction, timber floors, degraded co-ownerships.

Building Survey : identifying what a visual inspection cannot reveal.
Owner Representation : distinguishing what the contractor proposes from what is actually acceptable.

PRESENCE AND CONTINUITY

A worksite without representation is a worksite that drifts.
Deadlines slip. Extras pile up. Quality gets negotiated while you are elsewhere, and what you were promised slowly becomes what they can get away with.

CH_G is on site. Every week. With a report, photographs, and a clear position on every open point.

Paris demands expert reading

A Haussmann building is not a new apartment.
Timber floors warp, load-bearing walls hide behind partitions, AGM minutes reveal works voted and never funded.

The Paris market rewards fast and punishes hard.
A defect missed before signing becomes your problem after.
A poorly supervised worksite becomes a list of defects you cannot get fixed.

CH_G is here to make sure neither happens to you.

Non-resident owners

You are in Dubai, Montreal, London.
Your property is in Paris. So is your contractor.

CH_G is your presence on the ground : site visits, direct dialogue with contractors, structured report after every meeting.

You decide. CH_G coordinates, verifies, and alerts you when something is not going the right way.

Rigour.
Clarity.
Accountability.

Before any signature or first hammer strike,
it is not too late to have someone in your corner.
