GevelAdvies

What GevelAdvies does

GevelAdvies B.V. is an independent Dutch engineering consultancy specializing in facade inspection, technical advisory, testing, and execution services for the built environment. Founded in 2020 and headquartered in Staphorst, the firm operates nationally across the Netherlands, serving building owners, homeowner associations (VvEs), housing corporations, facade manufacturers and installers, architectural firms, government bodies, and contractors/insurers. The service portfolio is organized across four practice areas — Schade & lekkage (Damage & Leakage), Veiligheid & constructie (Safety & Construction), Duurzaamheid & energieprestatie (Sustainability & Energy Performance), and Wetgeving & gebouwtoetsing (Legislation & Building Inspection) — covering facade inspection, air permeability and water tightness testing, glass bead swing tests, thermographic surveys, destructive research, trial repairs, engineering and specifications, design review, counter-expertise, multi-year maintenance budgeting (MJOB), fire safety checks, quality control, and energy performance advisory (EPA).

The firm's technical differentiators include proprietary physical assets (a mobile test cart capable of 50–600+ Pa air and water tightness testing at any height), specialized methodologies (Proefherstel trial-repair protocol, Glasparelslingerproef, drone-based inspection in partnership with Aeroscan), and an internally developed Excel-based sustainability quantification framework being co-developed with TU Eindhoven. GevelAdvies holds ISO 9001, ISO 14001, VMRG Keurmerk, and NEN Safety Culture Ladder Level 3 certifications, and the Head of Quality sits on the VMRG Technical Commission, reinforcing institutional standing.

Commercially, GevelAdvies operates a professional services model with project-based, quote-driven pricing. Distribution is entirely direct — no resellers, marketplaces, or intermediaries — with the consulting team actively acquiring and managing enterprise relationships across multiple verticals. Revenue derives from three streams: pure engineering and advisory services, on-site specialized testing and investigation services, and bundled diagnosis-through-execution maintenance and restoration. The company marked a digital transformation milestone in 2026 by going live on Microsoft Dynamics 365 (implemented with Fellowmind), positioning itself for scaled operations. Marquee engagements include the 215m De Zalmhaven tower in Rotterdam, the Pontsteiger residential landmark in Amsterdam, and the TU/e Atlas renovation (which achieved BREEAM Outstanding certification in 2024).
