What Architeam does

Architeam BV is a Belgian multidisciplinary architecture and engineering firm headquartered at Business Centre De Malt in Boortmeerbeek, founded in 1983 by Rik Liekens. The firm operates as a one-stop consultancy spanning nine in-house expertise areas: Architecture, Environment, Soil, Stability, Techniques, Planning, Infrastructure, Safety, and Sustainability. Its core technology is Building Information Modeling (BIM), used to coordinate design proactively across disciplines before issues reach the construction phase. The firm packages this capability as a 'total concept' methodology that embeds sustainability from the feasibility study onward, integrating energy efficiency, circular material choices, renewable energy integration, and SDG-aligned ESG criteria.

Architeam organises its project delivery around four primary portfolio segments (Industry and Logistics, Commercial, Office, and Residential) plus two secondary segments (Public Authorities and Specialised Infrastructure). Named enterprise clients include major logistics operators such as DPD, DHL, H. Essers, WDP/Lonza, Lidl (43,000 m² distribution centre in Herentals under Project HEAT21), Metalon, Alinso, and Weerts, alongside retail chains (De Stordeur, Ivarem, Trafic), event-services firm Stageco Belgium, government bodies (Politiezone Haacht), and residential developers (ULPM, 177 apartments). De Malt Business Complex, the firm's own headquarters, functions as a live sustainability showcase with solar panels, canal-water heat pumps, EV charging, and shared amenities.

The business model is professional services revenue generated through project-based architectural, engineering, planning, and project-management engagements with enterprise clients, governments, and private developers. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; quotations are issued per project. The firm sells and delivers directly through its own multidisciplinary team, supplemented by mutual partnerships with Carlier bv (infrastructure, green space, water) and Groep Infrabo (specialised building techniques including HVAC). Architeam is registered with the Order of Architects of Belgium, the Chamber of Architects of Saxony (Germany), and the Ordre des Architectes (France), and operates from a French trading office, with additional representatives in Poland, Romania, and New Zealand. The company holds the MiK Klimaatambassadeur 2023 title and consecutive VCDO Charter Laureate status in 2025 and 2026.
