Ingenieursbureau Multical

What Ingenieursbureau Multical does

Ingenieursbureau Multical B.V. is a privately held Dutch engineering consultancy founded in October 1988 and headquartered in Rotterdam. The firm provides integrated technical advisory and management services for the construction sector, organized around ten core disciplines: construction contracts, construction management, sustainability, installation engineering, building costs, maintenance and management, structural engineering, technical drawing, housing advisory, and fire safety management. Its service methodology is grounded in Dutch construction standards, particularly NEN 2767 condition measurement, STABU specification (bestek) preparation, MJOP multi-year maintenance planning, and the internally developed DMJOP framework that integrates sustainability measures into maintenance budgets. The firm also uses O-Prognose software for MJOP management.

The company serves six primary verticals: Dutch municipalities, architectural firms, educational institutions, real estate developers, property managers and VvEs (owner associations), and healthcare institutions. Named clients include Erasmus MC, Woonzorg Nederland, Gemeente Hillegom, Stebru (De Groene Kaap), Manhave Vastgoed, Matrona-managed VvEs, and the Johan Cruijff Arena. Engagements are project-based and span NEN 2767 condition inspections, MJOP development, STABU bestek preparation, building cost estimation, fire safety advisory, sustainability consulting, and full construction management.

Multical operates as a sales-led professional services firm with ~30 specialists, generating revenue through direct advisory engagements and project-based fees. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market relies on industry reputation, professional networks, LinkedIn presence, thought-leadership content, and the Kennismiddag industry event series. Formerly operating under the name Kabu, the company rebranded to Multical around 2018-2019. General Director Jasper de Rijke leads the firm, with senior certified experts heading the building cost, specification, and maintenance disciplines.
