Neanex

What Neanex does

Neanex is a privately held Belgian consultancy and software company specializing in information and data management for the Architecture, Engineering, Construction, and Operations (AECO) industry. Founded by Peter Imbrechts (CTO) and Josefien Vanhuyse (CEO), the firm delivers a dual offering: (i) professional services spanning information management, BIM data engineering, systems engineering, digital handover and data delivery, business intelligence for construction, configuration management, and digital maturity advisory; and (ii) Fundamend, a proprietary Digital Asset Twin platform built on graph technology and open data standards (IFC, OTL, IDS, ISO 19650, Uniclass, NLSfb). Fundamend uses Resource Description Framework (RDF), ontologies, semantic modeling, and SPARQL/SHACL to create a data-driven common environment for asset information across engineering, construction, and operations workflows, with a stated 30% time gain in data access via a three-click interface.

The company sells through direct enterprise sales to large contractors, engineering firms, and asset owners across Belgium and the Netherlands, with project references extending across Europe. Revenue is generated through project-based professional services engagements, multi-year consulting contracts, configuration and tool implementation (including Relatics, Power BI, Qlik and Semmtech's Laces), and Fundamend software licensing/subscription. The customer base includes Lantis, Elia Group, TenneT, Rijkswaterstaat, BESIX, Waternet, Deme, Proximus, Heijmans, Royal BAM Group, Rail Baltica, Schiphol Airport, and Buildwise, with verticals centered on Infrastructure (roads, tunnels, bridges, rail), Utility (energy, water, on/offshore), and Real Estate (buildings, retail, hospitals). Neanex is founder-owned with no disclosed institutional investors or acquisitions, headquartered in Antwerp with a registered office in Berchem, and operates with a team of 15-20+ consultants.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Autodesk: Autodesk offers BIM 360 / Construction Cloud and Tandem for digital twins, serving the same architecture, engineering, and construction buyer base as Neanex. Its scale and AEC-focused product suite make it the dominant incumbent in BIM-centric workflows Neanex targets.
• Aveva: Aveva delivers industrial digital twin and asset information management platforms (formerly with Bentley-owned ContextCapture heritage) targeting utilities, energy, and process industries — directly overlapping Neanex's Elia, TenneT, and Waternet-style engagements.
• Nemetschek Group: Nemetschek's portfolio (Graphisoft Archicad, Solibri, Bluebeam) covers design, BIM coordination, and model checking across the AECO lifecycle, overlapping directly with Neanex's information management services. As a broad European-listed incumbent it is a structural competitor.
• Trimble: Trimble provides construction technology across hardware, software, and digital asset information, including Trimble Connect for BIM collaboration. Its end-to-end AECO stack competes with Neanex's combined consulting + Fundamend platform offering.
• Bentley Systems: Bentley Systems operates iTwin, a digital twin platform for infrastructure and the broader AECO industry, with deep installed base among asset owners and engineering firms overlapping with Neanex's target customer base. As a broad incumbent it competes head-to-head with Fundamend on enterprise digital twin deployments.

Emerging players

• Matterport: Matterport provides 3D digital twin capture for built environments, increasingly positioned for facility and asset management use cases adjacent to Neanex's real estate and infrastructure segments. It competes for digital twin adoption among property owners and asset operators.
• Safe Software: Safe Software's FME platform enables spatial and BIM data integration with strong semantic and standards support, mirroring Neanex's Linked Data philosophy. It competes for the same data interoperability and digital handover use cases on a more general-purpose, developer-led footprint.
• OpenSpace: OpenSpace provides AI-powered reality capture and digital twin for construction, capturing as-built conditions and feeding asset information systems. Its growing footprint among contractors overlaps with Neanex's as-built handover and asset information workflows.

Others

• Arcadis: Arcadis is a global design and engineering consultancy with significant BIM, digital twin, and asset information management practices serving European infrastructure and utility clients. As a much larger consultancy, it often competes for the same enterprise engagements Neanex targets.

Direct peers

• VIATechnik: VIATechnik is a BIM and digital twin consultancy serving owners, contractors, and design firms on complex construction projects — closely mirroring Neanex's professional services model. Its practice on VDC, BIM execution, and digital transformation directly parallels Neanex's service stack.
