Van Lochem Nederland

What Van Lochem Nederland does

Van Lochem Nederland Totaalonderhoud B.V. is a family-owned Dutch property maintenance and renovation contractor founded in 1969 and headquartered in Den Haag. The company delivers total maintenance (totaalonderhoud), renovation, transformation, and sustainability services across four building disciplines — facades, roofs, interiors, and installations — and holds VGO-Keur certification (by Kiwa) across all four, an arrangement uncommon among Dutch maintenance firms. It serves three primary client verticals: Dutch housing corporations (e.g., Woonbron, Maasdelta Groep), homeowners associations (VvEs), and municipalities (e.g., Gemeente Den Haag, Gemeente Utrecht), with the bulk of work delivered by its own 275+ permanent employees rather than subcontractors.

The company's underlying capability is operational rather than technological: it applies the Resultaatgericht Samenwerken (RGS) methodology, which it pioneered in 1988, supported by EPA-certified energy performance advisors and a multi-disciplinary in-house workforce. Sustainability — insulation, HR++ glazing, PV installation, mechanical ventilation, and zero-emission fleet operations — is integrated with planned maintenance and renovation projects rather than offered as a standalone product. Service delivery is structured around four regional offices in the Randstad (Den Haag, Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Utrecht) with project leaders and account managers running named-account relationships.

The business model is project-based professional services revenue, earned through tenders, repeat contracts, and referrals (notably via VvE management companies) from housing corporations, VvEs, and building owners. Pricing is determined per project via site surveys, MJOPs (Multi-Year Maintenance Plans), and tender processes, using fixed-price, cost-plus, and result-oriented (RGS) contract structures. The company does not disclose pricing publicly and operates without institutional investors or external funding.

Revenue model

1. Total Property Maintenance Services: Van Lochem generates revenue through project-based contracts for total maintenance (totaalonderhoud), renovation, and transformation of real estate. Services span facades, roofs, interiors, and installations, performed predominantly with own personnel. Revenue is earned through fixed-price projects, cost-plus arrangements, and result-oriented (RGS/resultaatgericht) maintenance contracts with housing corporations, VvEs, and building owners. The company also performs standalone sustainability and energy-efficiency upgrades (insulation, window replacement, PV installation) either as part of integrated maintenance packages or as discrete projects.
