Ah, yes, bureau d'études is probably right.
JaneD May 25, 2012:
Could it be an abbreviation of an English term ("Building Engineer") perhaps?
katsy May 25, 2012:
bureau d'études? Is what comes to mind, but am not a specialist, especially for the appropriate translation

architect/CE

BE = bureau d'études

Many translations, but I think Consulting Engineer (hence CE) would probably fit best here.
Peer comment(s):

agree B D Finch : By a whisker! Though I would not use the "CE" abbreviation.

Thanks, B! No, I must admit I hesitated myself, better in full, I think, since it isn't a standard abbrevaition as it is in FR.
