HEVO

What HEVO does

HEVO B.V. is a Dutch real estate consulting and construction management firm headquartered in 's-Hertogenbosch, Netherlands, with a secondary office in Zwolle operating under the HevoFame sub-brand. Founded in 1970, the firm employs 115 in-house experts delivering advisory, construction management, and risk-bearing project management (RPM) services across the full housing lifecycle — strategy and feasibility, creation and realization, and implementation and use. HEVO serves municipalities, educational institutions, healthcare organizations, and corporate clients, with primary verticals in education and housing with care.

The company's core offerings are organized around the Huisvestingscyclus (Housing Cycle) framework and include advisory services (administrative, financial, construction, sustainability), construction management (cost, energy, total project management), research, interim management, and the proprietary Risicodragend Projectmanagement (RPM) model that guarantees certainty on price, planning, and quality. Specialized methodologies include GPR Gebouw — a government-recognized sustainability assessment framework used as an alternative to BREEAM — and HevoFame, a multidisciplinary housing-with-care practice serving vulnerable populations through concept development, project management, and architectural studio services. HEVO does not operate a proprietary software platform; technology is limited to professional tools supporting project delivery.

HEVO generates revenue through professional services fees on a project-by-project basis, secured via direct sales engagement, public tenders, and RFP responses. Pricing is negotiated per engagement with no standard rate card, and contracts typically span multi-year timelines. The go-to-market is sales-led, anchored in 55 years of domain expertise, 115 specialists, and the firm's track record on complex Dutch housing projects. Clients are concentrated in the public and semi-public sectors, with named engagements across education (PCBO Rheden, Stichting Panta Rhei, KPO Roosendaal), healthcare (Careaz, Omring, GGD Gelderland-Zuid), government (Veiligheidsregio Drenthe), and social enterprises (Baanbrekers Waalwijk, Probedrijven Den Helder). The firm is privately held as HEVO B.V. with no disclosed external investors.
