Boxum Installatiegroep

What Boxum Installatiegroep does

Boxum Installatiegroep is a Dutch family-owned electrical installation services firm headquartered in Vollenhove, Netherlands, founded in 1991 by Evert Boxum and currently operated by the second generation, brothers Jan Boxum (Operational Director) and Dick Boxum (Financial Director). The company specializes in electro-technical infrastructure for serial residential new construction, including terraced houses, detached builds, and apartment complexes, with project sizes ranging from 10 rental homes to 100+ owner-occupied units. It serves four primary B2B segments: construction companies (bouwkconcerns), main contractors (hoofdaannemers), project developers (projectontwikkelaars), and housing corporations (woningcorporaties), primarily in the Overijssel region and broader Netherlands.

The firm's core offering is an integrated 'totaalaanpak' (total approach) organized as five sequential service modules: Advies (advisory), Calculatie (cost calculation), Ontwerp (design including BIM 3D modeling), Installatie (installation), and Oplevering (commissioning and certification including WKB-law documentation). This end-to-end positioning is supported by a comprehensive stack of Dutch industry certifications (InstallQ, BRL 6000, NEN 1010, NEN 3140, SCIOS Scope 8/10, VCA, ISO 9001, KOMO, Safety Culture Ladder Trede 3) and capability across all major Dutch construction methods (kalkzandsteen, kanaalplaatvoer, casco beton, houtskelet, CLT, tunnel construction). The company positions itself as a consultative totaalpartner that engages early in project planning phases alongside clients.

The business model is project-based and quote-based, with revenue generated through one-time project fees covering engineering, materials, and installation labor. GTM is sales-led and direct B2B, with growth driven through early-stage engagement with construction developers and contractors, project showcases (e.g., Dijkeneiland Zuid Veendam, Anjerstraat Hoogeveen), and employer branding for talent acquisition. Recruitment is fully outsourced to specialized partner IJAPS. The company is privately held with no external investors, no funding rounds, and no M&A activity disclosed.

Core offering

Boxum Installatiegroep provides complete electro-technical installation services for serial residential new construction projects, from initial advisory and cost calculation through BIM-based design, on-site installation, and final testing/certification/handover. The company serves construction firms, main contractors, project developers, and housing corporations, handling projects ranging from 10 rental homes to 100+ owner-occupied homes across multiple construction methods (concrete, timber frame, CLT, tunnel construction).

Product overview

Boxum Installatiegroep operates as an elektrotechnische totaalpartner (electrical technical total partner) offering a unified, integrated service delivery model rather than discrete products. The core offering consists of five integrated service modules: Advies (Advisory), Calculatie (Cost Calculation), Ontwerp (Design), Installatie (Installation), and Oplevering (Project Completion) — collectively known as the 'totaalaanpak' (total approach). These services form a continuous workflow from initial consultation through project handover, providing complete electro-technical infrastructure for serial housing construction including terraced houses, detached new builds, and apartment complexes. The company serves construction firms, main contractors, developers, and housing corporations, positioning itself as a one-stop partner for all electrical installation needs in residential new build projects.

Direct peers

• Van Dorp Installaties: Dutch installation company providing electrical, mechanical, and security installations for commercial and residential buildings. Comparable to Boxum as a multi-discipline installer serving developers and main contractors across the Netherlands.
• Homij: Dutch technical-installation business within VolkerWessels delivering electrical, mechanical, and building-services installations. Overlaps with Boxum on residential and utility-building electrical scope and operates in the same developer/main-contractor buyer set.
• Hoppenbrouwers Techniek: Dutch technical-installation specialist focused on electrical and related building services for residential and commercial projects. Closely comparable to Boxum in scope and customer type—electrical installations for housing developers and contractors—though somewhat larger in scale.

Broad incumbents

• Spie Nederland: Dutch arm of the international Spie group, providing technical building-services installations including electrical work for commercial and residential clients. Comparable in end-customer type (developers, contractors, housing corporations) but at national scale.
• Heijmans: Large Dutch construction and infrastructure group with an installations and technical-services division serving residential and commercial real estate. Comparable in buyer type (developers, housing corporations) but with vastly greater geographic and segment reach than Boxum.
• Unica: Dutch multi-disciplinary technical-services firm providing electrical installations alongside HVAC, ICT, and security solutions. Comparable buyer segments and projects, but Unica operates at multi-region scale and offers a much wider service portfolio than Boxum.
• BAM Bouw en Techniek: Installation and technical-services arm of Royal BAM Group, executing electrical installations on residential and non-residential Dutch construction projects. Comparable activity to Boxum within developer-led serial housing but as part of a much larger general contractor.
• Croonwolter&dros: Large established Dutch technical-services contractor offering electrical installations as part of a broader building-technology portfolio. Like Boxum, it serves developers and main contractors but at significantly greater scale and across non-residential segments as well.
