What Ducot Engineering & Advies does

Ducot Engineering & Advies BV is an independent Dutch civil engineering and advisory firm headquartered in Roermond, Netherlands. The company delivers integrated engineering, advisory, and project management services for outdoor space and civil infrastructure projects to municipalities, housing corporations, project developers, and government institutions across multiple Dutch provinces. Its service portfolio spans the full project lifecycle - advisory, design, engineering, procurement and contracting, construction supervision, and management and maintenance - supplemented by interim staffing placement and specialized offerings in 3D/BIM/GIS, climate adaptation, traffic safety audits, and citizen participation.

The firm operates with a compact core team of approximately 20 professionals backed by a flexible network of external specialists, enabling rapid deployment of multidisciplinary expertise. Its technical stack centers on Civil3D (BIM), GIS, and 3D visualization tools, layered with a proprietary digital platform called Storymap that supports asynchronous, visual citizen participation workflows. Service revenue is generated through project-based, quote-driven consulting engagements and interim staffing placements, with multi-year contract cadences on larger programs. Repeat enterprise engagements (notably a third consecutive project with a Roosendaal logistics developer) and a string of municipal redesign wins in Limburg, North Brabant, South Holland, and Gelderland point to a durable, relationship-driven public-sector business with emerging private-sector exposure.
