What Roseboom does

Roseboom is a family-owned Dutch construction contractor founded in 1945 and headquartered in Ede, Gelderland. It operates six integrated service divisions — Infra (civil engineering, ground/road/water works), Energie (district heating and electrical network installation), Engineering (multidisciplinary design and project execution), Transport (horizontal, vertical, and heavy transport with cranes), Sloop (demolition with asbestos removal), and Saneren (soil and asbestos remediation). The company is contracted directly by Dutch municipalities, provinces, public utilities, housing corporations, energy companies, project developers, hospitals, and universities — typically as main contractor (hoofdaannemer) under UAV-GC, RAW-bestek, or Design & Construct agreements, with competitive tendering as the primary acquisition channel. Since 2013 it has been a key installer for Warmtebedrijf Ede's district heating network, contributing to approximately 20,000 home and business connections, and more recently has executed heat main installations for projects including Blossem Breda, WUR Wageningen Campus ATES system, and Ziekenhuis Gelderse Vallei.

Roseboom combines multiple disciplines within a single organization to deliver integrated projects from feasibility study through commissioning, reducing the coordination complexity that clients would otherwise face when contracting separate specialists. Its technology foundation is equipment- and process-driven rather than software-driven: HDD (Horizontal Directional Drilling) guided boring for trenchless pipeline installation under roads and roundabouts, the Volvo FH540 165 ton/meter autolaadkraan, the Jekko JF 545 compact crane for indoor and confined-space lifting, specialized demolition excavators, and BRL/SIKB-certified remediation processes. The company is differentiated by holding CO2 Performance Ladder Level 5 (the highest tier since 2021), ISO 9001, ISO 14001, VCA**, NEN Safety Culture Ladder 3, SVMS-007, and asbestos removal process certificates — credentials that are gating requirements for many Dutch public tenders.

Since May 2024/2025, Roseboom has operated as part of AW Groep, expanding its scale and collaborative capacity while retaining its brand and operational base. Revenue is generated entirely through project-based professional services contracts with custom pricing per scope; no public price list exists and no revenue figure is disclosed. The company employs more than 100 skilled personnel and serves clients exclusively within the Netherlands.

Revenue model

1. Civil Engineering and Infrastructure Projects: Project-based contracts for ground, road, and water construction (grond-, weg- en waterbouw), site preparation (bouwrijp and woonrijp maken), and infrastructure. Revenue earned through competitive tendering (RAW bestekken, UAV-GC contracts) for public and private clients. Projects include roadwork, earthworks, paving, drainage, and utility infrastructure.
2. Heat and Cold Network Installation (Warmtedistributie): Design and installation of district heating networks (warmtenetwerken) and heat-cold distribution pipelines for municipalities, energy companies, and property developers. Since 2013 Roseboom has been active in this sector, notably connecting 20,000 homes and businesses to the Warmtebedrijf Ede network. Includes WKO (Aquifer Thermal Energy Storage) pipeline systems.
3. Demolition, Asbestos Removal, and Soil Remediation: Full-service demolition (total and renovation), asbestos removal (DAV-2, DTA certified), and contaminated land remediation (bodemsanering). Projects span from residential redevelopment sites to Natura 2000 protected areas. Includes the sale of reclaimed/recycled materials from demolition.
4. Specialized Transport Services: Horizontal, vertical, and heavy transport services using a fleet of cranes (including Volvo FH540 autolaadkraan, Jekko compact cranes), dump trucks, and specialized trailers. Revenue generated per project or contract for relocating heavy machinery, placing construction elements, and machine installation.
5. Engineering Services: Design, engineering, and consulting from concept through execution, including site engineering for terrain preparation (e.g., 6,250 m2 expansion for Plantion). Provided as part of integrated project delivery or as standalone engineering contracts, working in multidisciplinary teams.
