What We develop together does

WijOntwikkelenSamen is a privately held Dutch consultancy specializing in Collectief Particulier Opdrachtgeverschap (CPO) - collective private commissioning for residential housing projects. The firm guides groups of future residents, housing corporations, and municipalities through the full project lifecycle: organizing resident associations, selecting architects and contractors, managing permit applications, structuring financing, overseeing construction, and providing post-handover aftercare. Its service portfolio is modular, anchored by the core CPO-begeleiding (process guidance) offering and supported by discrete modules covering design assistance, contract management, contractor selection, subsidy and financing advisory, financial administration, and post-completion care.

The company's revenue model is professional services consulting, with custom project-based fees and no publicly disclosed pricing. Go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven, relying on direct advisory engagements, professional referrals from municipalities and housing corporations, and its website (wijontwikkelensamen.nl). The firm operates from Eindhoven in the Netherlands and serves clients primarily in North Brabant, with expanding presence in Limburg, South Holland, and Gelderland. Customer segments include private CPO building groups (the primary segment), housing collectives (woongroepen), housing corporations (Wonen Limburg, ZO Wonen, Wonen Zuid, Zaamwonen), and municipalities seeking CPO policy and selection procedure support.

WijOntwikkelenSamen has guided 25+ projects over more than 25 years of operation (founded 1998), ranging from small single-digit-unit community housing to larger developments such as the 42-unit Area-M in Roermond and a 131-home renovation in the Sterrenberg district. The leadership team is led by CPO advisor Stephan Maussen (25+ years of CPO experience) and CPO begeleider Mark Smits (active since 2007), supported by process facilitator Nikita Oldert (joined 2024). The firm has no external institutional funding, no proprietary technology platform, and operates with 1-10 employees.

Emerging players

• Twynstra Gudde: Dutch management and consulting firm with a real estate, housing, and public sector practice. Comparable because Twynstra Gudde advises Dutch public and housing clients on strategy, process, and program implementation—an offering structurally similar to WijOntwikkelenSamen's CPO facilitation services.
• Berenschot: Large Dutch management consulting firm with established public sector and housing practice. Comparable because Berenschot advises municipalities, housing corporations, and public clients on housing policy, process design, and program delivery—directly overlapping WijOntwikkelenSamen's advisory and process-guidance offering.
• KAW: Dutch architecture and urban planning firm with expertise in collective housing, social housing renewal, and community-led development. Comparable because KAW works on the same CPO-adjacent, housing corporation, and community-building projects that WijOntwikkelenSamen guides, especially in life-course-resistant and social housing.
• Bureau Stedelijke Planning: Dutch urban planning and development consultancy advising municipalities and project developers. Comparable because it operates in the same Dutch urban development and planning advisory space, often engaging with municipalities and housing stakeholders on comparable briefs to WijOntwikkelenSamen.

Broad incumbents

• AM (Amvest): Dutch residential developer and investor focused on affordable and mid-market housing. Comparable because Amvest operates in the same Dutch housing market, engaging housing corporations and municipalities on collective and inclusive housing developments parallel to WijOntwikkelenSamen's advisory scope.
• Heijmans: Major Dutch construction and area development company with significant residential and mixed-use project pipeline. Comparable because Heijmans competes for the same municipal, housing corporation, and collective housing project mandates that WijOntwikkelenSamen advises on, but at far greater scale and as a developer-contractor rather than advisor.
• Ballast Nedam: Established Dutch construction and development firm with significant residential project pipeline. Comparable because Ballast Nedam is a typical contractor counterpart in the CPO process WijOntwikkelenSamen manages, and competes for the same housing corporation and municipal project mandates.
• Synchroon: Dutch area developer specializing in inner-city and mixed-use residential projects with strong municipal and housing corporation relationships. Comparable because Synchroon develops the same type of collective, inner-urban, and CPO-adjacent housing projects that WijOntwikkelenSamen facilitates.
• BPD (Bouwfonds Property Development): Largest Dutch residential area developer, active across the same housing value chain WijOntwikkelenSamen serves. Comparable because BPD engages with municipalities, housing corporations, and resident groups on collective and demand-driven housing, overlapping with WijOntwikkelenSamen's CPO and housing corporation service lines.
• Dura Vermeer: Large Dutch construction and real estate development company with residential, commercial, and infrastructure activities. Comparable because Dura Vermeer competes for the same Dutch housing and area development mandates, often as the contractor selected through processes that WijOntwikkelenSamen guides.
