What Bosman does

Bosman Bedrijven B.V. is a Dutch specialist contractor that designs, engineers, and delivers mechanical (werktuigbouwkundige), sanitary, and electrical (elektrotechnische) installations for the non-residential construction sector, operating primarily in the Randstad region. Founded in 1959 and headquartered in Amersfoort, the company serves commercial real estate developers, property investors, and general contractors on new-build, renovation, and fit-out projects ranging from sub-€1M assignments to multi-year programmes exceeding €20M. Its core technology stack covers HVAC, plumbing, electrical distribution, fire detection, access control, measurement and control systems, and IoT-enabled smart building sensoring with real-time energy and occupancy dashboards.

The company operates a project-based revenue model, earning fees through negotiated installation contracts and tender processes rather than recurring subscriptions. Notable projects include The Edge (recognized as the most sustainable office building in the Netherlands in 2015), Tripolis-Park, Valley, FENIX Rotterdam, The Pulse of Amsterdam, EDGE Stadium (WELL Platinum, BREEAM Excellent), Rembrandt Park One, and the ongoing 100,000 m² ABN AMRO headquarters redevelopment delivered via the Bosman BAM Combinatie joint venture. Sustainability credentials span BREEAM Outstanding/Excellent and WELL Platinum/Gold certifications, with the first R2S 2-star certified building in the Netherlands (EDGE Stadium).
