Demo Consultants

What Demo Consultants does

DEMO Consultants B.V. is a privately held Dutch software and advisory firm founded in 1996 and headquartered in Delft, Netherlands. The company builds and sells RE Suite, an integrated real estate information management platform with 14+ modules covering maintenance planning (NEN 2767), condition measurement, fire safety inspection, BIM, GIS, energy performance, asset management, sensor monitoring, risk analysis, and reporting, plus a Scan-to-BIM and 3D Virtual Models service line. Its technology stack is built on Microsoft .NET with open BIM (IFC) interoperability and integrations into ESRI, Autodesk Revit, TomTom, Google Maps, OpenStreetMap, Cyclomedia/Globespotter, and SharePoint, with selected modules incorporating AI (generative design in RE Design, machine-learning defect detection used at the Port of Rotterdam, and ML-based Smart Readiness Indicator scoring in the easySRI EU project).

DEMO serves primarily Dutch public-sector and semi-public real estate owners — housing corporations, municipalities, government agencies (Rijksvastgoedbedrijf, Schiphol, Port of Rotterdam), healthcare institutions, and educational bodies — alongside a growing base of real estate agents, VvE associations, and heritage owners. Revenue is generated through a hybrid model: recurring RE Suite software licensing (subscription, per-seat or site-based, cloud or on-premise), project-based professional services (advisory, condition measurement, fire safety inspection, interim management, information management, training), unit-priced 3D scanning and Scan-to-BIM work, and EU-funded R&D income from coordinating and participating in 30+ Horizon Europe, Horizon 2020, and LIFE projects over 25+ years.

The company's go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales to large public-sector clients, inside sales and self-service digital tools (one-minute needs assessment, 6-month free trial, 'Request a demo' CTAs) for mid-market prospects, and EU research consortiums as an indirect channel to introduce new tools to housing corporations, municipalities, and institutions. DEMO holds ISO 9001, ISO/IEC 27001, and NEN 4400-1 certifications, is a member of BuildingSMART and NEN standards committees, and has no disclosed external investors, parent company, or M&A activity.

Direct peers

• Archibus: Archibus is a long-standing integrated workplace/facility/real estate management (IWMS) platform used by enterprises and public-sector organizations. Like DEMO, Archibus emphasizes asset, maintenance, and space management for large property portfolios, making it a comparable platform-level competitor.
• Spacewell (Operis): Spacewell delivers integrated facility and real estate management software including maintenance, IWMS, and BIM/IoT-enabled workflows. Comparable to DEMO's RE Suite in scope and target customers, Spacewell is a more international, cloud-native direct competitor in the European facility/real estate software market.
• Ultimo (IFS Ultimo): Ultimo (now part of IFS) is a Dutch-headquartered EAM/CMMS software vendor widely deployed in maintenance, asset, and facility management. Both Ultimo and DEMO serve Dutch housing corporations, municipalities, and industrial clients with NEN-aligned maintenance planning, inspection workflows, and SaaS deployment models.

Broad incumbents

• Nemetschek Group: Nemetschek is a large European construction and building software group whose brands (e.g., Allplan, Bluebeam, Solibri) span BIM, AEC, and facility/asset management. While broader and not housing-corporation-specific, Nemetschek overlaps with DEMO's BIM-centric, open-standards (IFC) approach and competes for digital-twin and BIM-driven real estate workflows.
• Matrica (BMC Software real estate solutions): Matrica / BMC offers IT-enabled real estate and facility management solutions used by large enterprises and government clients. Comparable to DEMO in serving large-scale, multi-site property portfolios with software plus services, though typically at larger enterprise scale than DEMO's Dutch mid-market focus.
• Trimble Buildings: Trimble's Buildings division offers BIM-to-operations, asset management, and facility solutions including Tekla, Trimble Connect, and Manhattan software. Comparable to DEMO in its use of open BIM standards, BIM-as-database, and integration with sensor/IoT data for facility and asset lifecycle management.
• Planon: Planon is a larger, established Dutch-headquartered provider of integrated facility, real estate, and workplace management software. Both DEMO and Planon serve property owners, housing corporations, and public-sector clients with SaaS platforms covering maintenance, asset management, and building operations.
• Aareon: Aareon (part of the Aareal Bank Group / Advent International) is a major European vendor of real estate and housing-industry software, with strong presence among Dutch and German housing corporations. Both compete for software spend at woningcorporaties with property management, maintenance planning, and tenant-facing modules.

Regional players

• Facilicom Group: Facilicom is a large Dutch facility services conglomerate providing integrated facility management, including technology-enabled services. Comparable in serving Dutch enterprise and public-sector clients on facility/real estate operations, though Facilicom is primarily services-led and competes with DEMO's advisory business.
• Facility Management Nederland (FMN) software vendors: FMN (Facility Management Nederland) represents and benchmarks Dutch facility management software and service providers. As a Dutch sector association and ecosystem player, FMN-adjacent vendors (e.g., Vitec, Facilitair Online) compete with DEMO for facility and maintenance planning software at Dutch corporates and public-sector clients.
