What Alheembouw does

Alheembouw is a Belgian Class 8 general contractor founded in 1970 and headquartered in Oostnieuwkerke, Belgium. The company delivers complex, large-scale construction projects across four core verticals: industrial facilities, automated high-bay warehouses, corporate offices, and educational infrastructure. It operates a 'totaalontzorger' (total solution provider) model covering the full project lifecycle, including design coordination, structural engineering, technical installations, commissioning, and post-occupancy maintenance, and offers delivery via general contracting, Design & Build, and public-private partnership (DBFM/PPS) structures. Core technology is not publicly disclosed beyond BIM-based coordination used across major projects for clash detection and execution planning.

The customer base is concentrated in Belgian and French enterprise and public-sector clients, with a notable emphasis on frozen-potato processors (Agristo, Clarebout, Aviko), parts distribution (TVH), and circular-economy operators (Vanheede Environment Group), supplemented by high-profile projects for Verkor (battery gigafactory), VDAB (public employment campus), and Zoutman (world's tallest sea salt production tower). Revenue is generated through project-based, one-time contracting arrangements; pricing is determined via public tenders for government work and private negotiations for industrial clients, with no public pricing available. The company is privately held, part of the Beehive group, and employs 101-250 people. Geographic operations span Belgium and France, with the French subsidiary ALB France having achieved MASE certification in 2026 and expanded beyond Dunkerque into Escaudoeuvres (Cambrai). Recent accolades include Best Workplace 2026, the Belfa Facility Award 2022, multiple BREEAM certifications (Outstanding, Excellent, Very Good), and the Roeselare Architecture Prize 2024.
