Argile: multi-scenario management for better decisions

Multi-scenario: why this approach changes your energy renovation jobs

Moving from a single proposal to several clear options for the client

With a multi-scenario approach, you no longer sell a single solution. You show 2 or 3 clear paths. For example, a priority measure, an intermediate step, then a whole-house renovation. The client understands what they gain, what it costs, and decides faster.

Reducing back-and-forth between the visit, grant calculation, and technical adjustments

Each option can factor in the work assumptions, the home's constraints, and an estimate of grants (MaPrimeRénov' and CEE) under current rules right from the start. The result: fewer returns to square one. You stay in control of the pricing and the conversation.

Securing your design time on complex projects (whole-house renovation, older homes)

In older homes, a good idea on paper can hit a snag on site. Working with scenarios protects you. You plan for a technical variant (heat pump, insulation, ventilation) and a budget variant, without redoing the entire file. It's time saved and better-signed quotes.

Comparing scenarios effectively: the criteria that really matter in 2026

Energy gains and comfort: what you need to make objective (DPE, rating jumps) in 2026

In multi-scenario work, start with simple measures. Estimated consumption in kWh, DPE rating jumps, and above all, actual comfort. Look at winter, but also summer. A scenario that insulates without addressing ventilation can degrade indoor air. And a high-performance heat pump doesn't make up for cold walls.

Budget, MaPrimeRénov', and CEE: comparing the remaining cost without getting it wrong

To compare, calculate the remaining cost scenario by scenario. Same measure, same surface area, same RGE-certified company, otherwise the comparison is skewed. Check the 2026 eligibility conditions. Single-measure pathway or deep renovation, audit and support advisor can change the scope of the grant. CEE amounts vary depending on the operation and volume, so ask for a costed offer, not an estimate. To go further on the changes, see the 2026 eligibility conditions.

Job feasibility: technical constraints, phasing, and impacts on lead times

A good scenario holds up on the ground. Access, ceiling height, hydraulic network, outdoor space, noise, electrical constraints, and any applicable planning rules. Anticipate the phasing. Insulation, ventilation, heating in the right order. You reduce rework, and you secure the lead times.

With Argile, building and adjusting your scenarios in a few minutes (without losing control)

Quick energy diagnosis: generating several scenarios from the first contact

During an appointment or on the phone, you run a quick diagnosis and get multi-scenario work plans. Insulation, ventilation, heat pump. You compare the estimated gains, the order of the trades, and the possible MaPrimeRénov' and CEE grants, without waiting for the full audit.

Feasibility analysis: detecting constraints at the address and prioritizing the work

Starting from the address, Argile cross-references available data and flags points of vigilance. Protected zone, building type, energy label, space constraints for the outdoor unit. You prioritize the measures, avoid making promises you can't keep, and prepare for a visit with the right questions.

Technical visit and 3D reconstruction: making your measurements more reliable to avoid gaps with the quote

On site, you document the visit and the 3D reconstruction makes your measurements more reliable. Insulated surfaces, network lengths, locations. The result: fewer gaps between the estimate and the signed quote, and cleaner grant files, with clear evidence for the client. To go further, discover the digital workflow from technical visit to quote.

Helping the client decide: turning the comparison into a signed decision

Presenting the options with simple arguments: performance, cost, priority work

With a multi-scenario approach, compare 2 or 3 work pathways. A "minimum" scenario to address the blocking points, a "comfort" scenario to target a better rating, and an "ambitious" scenario if the budget allows. Put 3 figures on the table. Estimated bill savings, budget, remaining cost. Restate the priorities. Insulation before the system, ventilation, regulation.

Highlighting the trade-offs: investment, comfort, complexity of implementation

A good trade-off is clear. More investment often means more comfort and lower consumption, but also more trades, longer lead times, and more constraints. Highlight the risks. Heat pump sizing, thermal bridges, humidity. Say what's simple to phase and what creates a bottleneck.

Speeding up the signature: a detailed quote and integrated grants to reassure

To close the sale, the quote needs to tell the story. Detail the line items, surface areas, performance levels, schedule, and factor in MaPrimeRénov' and CEE bonuses to display a clear remaining cost. Add the expected supporting documents (RGE, technical data sheets, photos). The client can picture it, and you secure the sale.

From multi-scenario to selling whole-house renovations: organizing your method from A to Z

Choosing a "base" scenario and variants to fit the household's budget

In multi-scenario work, start from a coherent base scenario. It first addresses the losses that are easy to fix. Often, insulation of the most heat-losing surfaces and ventilation. Then add 2 variants. A "controlled budget" version and a "comfort+" version with a high-performance heating system. You keep the technical thread, and the household chooses based on its remaining cost.

Standardizing your steps: from pre-pricing to admin, without re-entering data

Set up a simple, repeatable method, without re-entering data. The same set of data is used throughout. Site measurements, surface areas, photos, constraints. Then pre-pricing, grant calculation (MaPrimeRénov' and CEE), quote, and supporting documents. With Argile, you centralize the information and produce comparable scenarios in a few clicks. To avoid follow-up requests and secure processing, you can also rely on avoiding MaPrimeRénov' file rejections.

Tracking your RGE projects: limiting oversights and securing grant files

A whole-house renovation is also won at the desk. Track each file with a grant file checklist. Dated and signed quote. Valid RGE qualification on the relevant trade. Product technical data sheets. Before, during, and after photos. Compliant invoice and CEE certificates. You avoid follow-up requests, secure the bonuses, and keep the job under control.
