Installatiebedrijf Werkendam

What Installatiebedrijf Werkendam does

Installatiebedrijf Werkendam B.V. (IBW) is a privately held Dutch installation and roofing subcontractor headquartered in Werkendam, North Brabant, on a company-owned 4,000 m² site acquired in 2012. Founded in its current form in 1993 following the bankruptcy of an earlier entity tracing to 1977, the company delivers an integrated portfolio of mechanical engineering and waterproof roofing services to general contractors, project developers, housing corporations, municipalities, and healthcare organizations across the Netherlands, primarily in North Brabant, South Holland, Utrecht, and adjacent provinces. Reported headcount is approximately 85 employees, of which 13 are BBL (beroepsbegeleidende leerweg) trainees, indicating active workforce development across plumbing, roofing, and administrative functions.

The company's six core service lines are: (1) werktuigkundige installaties (mechanical engineering installations), (2) loodgieterswerk (plumbing), (3) elektrische installaties including EV charging and solar wiring, (4) sanitaire installaties with legionella prevention for care and high-rise settings, (5) bituminous and synthetic roof waterproofing using Polygum and IKO Bitumen systems, and (6) zinc and lead roofing work. Project design and coordination use BIM (Building Information Modeling), and the firm holds VCA** 2017/6.0 safety certification, Polygum approved-installer status enabling a 10-year insured indexed warranty, and memberships in UNETO-VNI and Vebidak. The active project portfolio includes residential developments (Lightyards Eindhoven, Klinkerbuurt 4 Delft, SEM Hoofddorp), an Amsterdam asylum-seeker center, and the Aafje Meerweide care complex in Rotterdam, with contract periods extending through 2027.

IBW operates as a B2B field-sales subcontractor on a project-by-project basis, with revenue generated from one-time installation contracts rather than recurring subscriptions. Pricing is negotiated per project with enterprise clients; no public pricing exists. Revenue is project-driven and tied to Dutch construction cycle dynamics, with 2017 revenue of €13.4 million and no more recent disclosed figures. The company is wholly independent following a 2003 management buyout, with no external institutional ownership, venture funding, or M&A activity recorded in the available sources.
