VEKMO

What VEKMO does

VEKMO NV is a Belgian construction safety coordination and technical advisory firm headquartered in Tessenderlo, serving companies and government entities across Belgium. Founded on December 15, 2000, in Puurs and operating today from its Tessenderlo headquarters after a 2019 relocation, Vekmo has built a 25-year track record and self-describes as one of the largest safety coordination bureaus in Belgium, with responsibility for the safety or guidance of at least 5,000 construction and renovation projects. Since November 2025 the firm has operated as part of the Studibo federation of specialist engineering teams while retaining its own identity, team, and working methods.

The company's core offering is anchored on mandatory Belgian construction safety coordination services — covering both design-phase (VC-O) and execution-phase (VC-V) coordination — alongside asbestos inventory (visual and destructive), demolition follow-up plans (Sloopopvolgingsplan) and full demolition management from a circular-economy perspective, construction coordination, and building technical expertise. Technical tooling includes a LiDAR-based 3D building scanner capable of 16-second scans at 100m range with millimeter accuracy, used for demolition volume calculations, digital-twin condition reports, and virtual tours. A separate training division, Vekmo Training, is government-recognized and delivers certified programs for Safety Coordinator Level B and Prevention Advisor Level 3, alongside custom training and continuing-education modules.

Vekmo operates a project-based professional services model. Revenue is generated per engagement via direct website quote requests, phone/email contact, and on-site relationship development; training courses are publicly listed (€990–€2,200 excluding VAT) and eligible for the Belgian KMO-portefeuille SME subsidy. Customer segments span construction contractors, public-sector infrastructure, healthcare facilities, industrial operators, and property owners/developers — with named clients including Infrabel, Jessa Ziekenhuis, DPG Media/Qmusic, Heilig Hartziekenhuis Mol, Alochem (Altrea), Agentschap Wegen en Verkeer, and OVAM. Management is led by Gedelegeerd Bestuurder Davy Macquoi (acquired the firm in 2018), Directeur Ruben Maes (operational leader since 2022), and CFO Kim Macquoi.
