What Aalberts does

Aalberts B.V. (operating as Aalberts Bouw) is a privately held Dutch family-owned construction and real estate development company headquartered in Loosdrecht, Netherlands, with roots dating to 1674 — making it one of the oldest continuously operating family businesses in the Netherlands. The company delivers an integrated portfolio spanning area development (Aalberts Ontwikkeling), construction (Aalberts Bouw, Aalberts Bouw Compact for specialized/complex projects), renovation, and property management and maintenance (Aalberts Beheer & Onderhoud), plus a project interior design subsidiary (Aalberts WM3).

Its core technical differentiator is the proprietary Doordacht modular construction system — a repeatable, scalable, and affordable building concept built around the innovative trap- en techniekmodule, an 8-meter-tall prefabricated unit that integrates two-floor staircases with technical installations (heat pumps, underfloor heating distributors, WTW units, toilet frames) in a single factory-built module. Variants include Doordacht Ecobouw (enhanced sustainability) and Doordacht Circulair (circular materials), alongside Doordacht Appartementen for multi-family housing.

Aalberts generates revenue primarily through project-based construction contracts, real estate development sales, and recurring maintenance/management services, selling via direct enterprise field sales to Dutch housing corporations (e.g., Dudok Wonen, De Alliantie, Jutphaas Wonen), property developers (BPD, Bridges Real Estate, DID vastgoedontwikkeling), healthcare institutions, and municipalities. Long-term framework agreements with housing corporations and joint development ventures (e.g., De Beeckhof with LATEI) underpin recurring revenue, while sustainability credentials (FSC, CO2 Performance Ladder Level 3, Paris Proof capability) serve as key competitive levers in Dutch public-sector tenders.
