What Voorbij Prefab does
Voorbij Prefab B.V. is a Dutch prefabricated concrete manufacturer founded in 1935 and operating since 1996 as a subsidiary of TBI Holdings B.V. From its hypermodern, robotised factory at Siciliëweg 61 in the Western Harbor Area of Amsterdam, the company produces CO2-reduced prefab concrete shells (casco's), structural elements, and industrial components including transformer stations, counterweights, foundation piles, and street furniture. Its flagship product lines are the Groene Voorbij Casco (with and without integrated insulation, 44% CO2 reduction vs 2020 baseline, classified 'dark green' under the Betonakkoord), the Impakt Beton formulation (45 kg CO2/m3, approximately 75% reduction vs traditional concrete, using biochar for permanent carbon storage), and the NEXT level casco system combining Impakt Beton walls with VBI's near-cementless channel slab floors. Designs are prepared in BIM/Revit and CCAD, and concrete mixes are developed and tested in-house alongside KIWA and Concrefy certification. In September 2024, Voorbij Prefab became the first prefab housing factory in the Netherlands to receive the KOMO-certificate BRL 2800 for the certified installation of structural prefab concrete elements.
The company sells directly on a project basis to Dutch general contractors, housing corporations, and developers — including Koopmans Bouwgroep, ERA Contour, Hazenberg Bouw, Bolton Bouw, Heijmans, Bouwcombinatie MAR'CS, and housing corporation Vivare — with many of these being sister companies within the TBI Holdings group and co-development partners in the NEXT level casco consortium alongside TBI WOONlab and VBI. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is determined per project through commercial quotes, with cao Betonproducten employment terms. Commercial leadership sits with Commercieel Manager Floris van Dam; statutory direction moved from Dorien Staal (now at Dura Vermeer) to Alexander van Tintelen in September 2024. Revenue is not publicly disclosed, but project evidence (notably the 293-unit De Kreekvelden Almere contract running 2024-2026) and headcount of approximately 100-130 employees point to a mid-sized Dutch industrial building-products operator.
Voorbij Prefab is positioned around the convergence of three Dutch market drivers: an acute housing shortage, the Betonakkoord and EU CO2 mandates pushing concrete decarbonisation, and the Wet Kwaliteitsborging voor het bouwen (Wkb) tightening on-site quality liability. Its competitive proposition is the integration of low-carbon materials chemistry, robotised serial production with millimetre tolerances, and certified on-site installation under a single-roof supplier, enabling faster, climate-compliant construction for clients targeting Paris Proof and MPG/BENG certifications. The company's stated ambition is CO2-neutral concrete by 2030 and CO2-negative thereafter, pursued via proprietary mixes, the NEXT level casco consortium, and a TNO-led research partnership on alternative binders and recycled aggregates.
