De Vries Konstruktieburo

What De Vries Konstruktieburo does

De Vries Konstruktieburo (DBA: Vrikon) is an independent structural engineering consultancy headquartered at Kampenringweg 23, 2803 PE Gouda, Netherlands, founded around 1994. The firm provides four integrated services — Constructieadvies (Construction Advisory), Berekeningen (Structural Calculations), Hoofdconstructeur (Lead Structural Engineer), and Uitvoeringsgereed (Execution-Ready Documentation) — for residential, commercial, industrial, and public infrastructure building projects including new builds, renovations, and special constructions. It operates with approximately 10 allround constructors plus a BIM Specialist and two admin/finance staff, each constructor taking full ownership of a project from intake through construction support without splitting calculation and drawing work and without project managers as intermediaries.

Revenue is generated through project-based professional services engagements on a fixed-fee basis, sold directly to construction developers, property owners, contractors (aannemers), and architects throughout the Netherlands. The firm is sales-led and relationship-driven, acquiring work via direct outreach, industry referrals, and a public project portfolio on vrikon.nl. Notable enterprise engagements include BP Raffinaderij (Rotterdam Europoort refinery control room), Fletcher Hotel Arnemuiden, Freight Line Europe (cold/freeze distribution center at Maasdijk), Sustay (250 micro-apartments and 149 starter homes at Reykjavikplein, Utrecht), Green Real Estate BV (redevelopment of the former NUON site in Alphen aan den Rijn), and NTR (tram remise in Nieuwegein), with 500+ projects completed over the firm's 30+ year history.

Technology is conventional for the discipline: structural calculations conforming to Dutch building standards (Nederlandse normen) and execution-ready technical drawings, now augmented by a BIM capability via a dedicated BIM Specialist. The firm holds no patents, maintains no public API or software product, and discloses no AI/ML capability. It is privately held with no external ownership, institutional investment, or public listing; leadership rests with Gerben de Vos as Constructeur/Directeur.
