What Ibuildings does

Ibuildings BV is a Dutch private custom software development firm founded in 1999 and headquartered in Woerden, Netherlands, with a secondary office in Brussels opened in February 2020. The company designs and builds web applications, mobile apps (React Native on iOS and Android plus PWAs), websites, and API back-ends for enterprise and government clients whose requirements exceed what standard packaged solutions can address. Its technology stack is centered on PHP frameworks (Symfony and Laravel), Enterprise Drupal CMS, modern JavaScript frameworks, GraphQL/REST/SOAP APIs, and cloud-native infrastructure on AWS and Azure, with security built around OWASP ASVS, GDPR/AVG, and ISO 27001/9001 certified processes since Q3 2022.

Beyond core development, Ibuildings operates an integrated service line spanning product design, UX design, graphic design, application security audits, WCAG accessibility services, hosting, and a proprietary "Assured Delivery" Scrum-based methodology emphasizing on-time, on-budget delivery with rigorous automated testing. Revenue is generated from three streams: project-based custom development on fixed-budget or time-and-materials contracts, recurring managed-services revenue via 24/7 SLA-backed application support and management takeover, and hourly-billed consultancy/audit work.

The go-to-market is sales-led and direct, supported by thought leadership through ownership of the Dutch PHP Conference (now in its 19th edition), technical content marketing, an active social/community presence, and an extensive case-study library spanning media (RTL News, NU.nl), government (CBS, Royal Library, Dutch Ministry of Defence via Groenendijk), utilities (Alliander), insurance (ZLM Verzekeringen, Verzekeringssite.nl), research/education (SURFnet), and publishing (Vakmedianet, TMG/Telegraaf, Sdu, TenPages.com). Ibuildings has 25+ years of operating history, ISO 27001:2022 and ISO 9001:2015 certifications, and is a member of Dutch Digital Agencies and Stichting Drupal Nederland.
