AM Design & Build

What AM Design & Build does

AM Design & Build is a privately held Brussels-based general contractor (entreprise générale de rénovation) operating from Avenue Louise 231, 1050 Bruxelles, serving the Brussels-Capital Region. The company delivers end-to-end residential and commercial renovation projects, covering study, demolition, structural work, electrical, plumbing, ventilation, insulation, plastering, finishing, and specialized technical trades, managed under a single contract with a dedicated site manager. An in-house bureau d'étude, staffed by civil engineer Ariston Milhomem, produces detailed plans and specifications (cahier des charges) before commitment, enabling a design-build execution model.

The company differentiates through a sustainable construction approach, using biosourced (wood, hemp, cellulose wadding, sheep wool, cork) and recycled materials, combined with energy performance solutions (solar panels, heat pumps, double-flow ventilation, rainwater harvesting) and thermal/acoustic insulation. Service offerings extend from small apartment renovations starting near €0 to large commercial transformations of up to 1,200m² (e.g., the Rossel Group 1,200m² office fit-out). Projects are billed on fixed-price (forfait) or time-and-materials (régie) contracts, with a free initial on-site consultation and a €250 HTVA fee for additional site visits or quote revisions that is deductible upon project approval.

Customer acquisition is sales-led via the company website (amdesignbuild.be), direct phone outreach (+32 492 43 71 81), word-of-mouth referrals, and a structured referral network of independent architect partners (Alicia Finet, Atelier Devergne, V2W, Studio Brain Juice, NCBHAM, Maxime Decampenaere) who design projects and channel execution to AM Design & Build. The primary customer segment is private residential homeowners in Brussels, with a secondary commercial segment including dental practices, media companies (Rossel/Le Soir), co-living operators, and heritage property owners. The company holds no disclosed external funding, has no parent or subsidiary structure, and operates as an independent private entity.
