About Projects

What About Projects does

About Projects B.V. is a privately held Dutch commercial interior and renovation services firm headquartered in Almere, founded in 2007. The company supports property owners, building managers, and office tenants across the Netherlands through four interconnected service lines: Kantoorinrichting (office interior design and fit-out), Ontwerp & Advies (independent design and advisory in collaboration with architects such as Maison Libre), Afbouw (construction, renovation, and refurbishment), and Service & Maintenance (ongoing facility management, including dedicated service buses and multi-property contracts). It also offers variant services such as Turnkey Oplevering (shell-to-ready) and Whitebox Solutions (stripping and preparing space for new tenants). Project sizes typically range from 200 m² single-tenant fit-outs to 1,900 m² multi-floor transformations, delivered within an independent-advisor positioning branded as 'Together we Build.'

The business operates on a quote-based pricing model with hourly professional fees, fixed project fees, or unit pricing for movable goods; payment terms include a 40% deposit on contracts and a 14-day balance on delivery, governed by filed Algemene Leverings- en Betalingsvoorwaarden. Distribution is entirely direct enterprise and mid-market sales in the Netherlands, with no resellers or marketplace presence; marketing relies on the company website, LinkedIn, and project case studies, supported by named testimonials from executives at BNP Paribas Real Estate, IWG, M7 Real Estate, Kendr, and others. The customer base spans real estate investors (APF International, Patrizia Netherlands), flex-workspace operators (IWG PLC/The Office Operators), government (Gemeente Amsterdam, Gemeente Almere, Almere City Marketing), non-profit (Fonds Slachtofferhulp), healthcare (Ottobock Benelux), and international brands entering Europe (Weber Blackstone).

Operationally the firm is a people- and partner-intensive services business with 11-50 employees, no proprietary technology platform, and an ecosystem of specialist subcontractors (Boon Edam, Obimex, Ledlicht Groothandel, plus flooring, demolition, painting, and kitchen installation partners). Senior leadership was materially upgraded in 2024-2025 with the addition of a Commercial Director from IWG, a Head of Projects, and a Facility Manager, coinciding with expansion of the maintenance offering into standalone facility management. The company is privately held, Chamber of Commerce registered as 39092202, with no disclosed external investors, funding rounds, or revenue figures.
