Arcon houtconstructies

What Arcon houtconstructies does

Arcon houtconstructies B.V. is a Dutch specialist subcontractor delivering structural timber construction on a Design to Build basis, operating from Nuenen, Noord-Brabant as a wholly-owned subsidiary of BanGroep since December 2021. The company engineers and assembles load-bearing structures using CLT (Cross Laminated Timber), glulam, LVL, and prefabricated HSB wall elements, with selected use of Azobé hardwood for exoskeleton applications. Its 3D engineering workflow runs on Tekla Structures with Trimble Connect and Revit integration, producing models at screw-level precision that drive prefabrication in partner facilities in Germany and Austria and rapid on-site assembly.

The business model is B2B and project-based: Arcon is engaged primarily by main contractors (Heijmans, BAM, TenBrinke, Unibouw, BanBouw, Plegt-Vos, CNSTRCT), developers (LPM Development, VP Capital), and housing corporations (Trudo, WonenLimburg, Woningbelang) — typically under engineering agreements signed at the sketch-model stage, with projects delivered turnkey. Revenue is generated per project rather than via recurring contracts. The go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven, supported by a project portfolio website, industry award recognition (Houtbouwprijs 2022 for HAVEP, Houtbouwprijs 2024 for Deltawind), and knowledge partnerships with Centrum Hout and Building Balance.

Arcon holds a comprehensive certification stack — VCA**, NEN-EN-ISO 9001:2015, NEN-EN-ISO 14001:2015, SKH-PEFC-COC, SKH-FSC-COC (FSC C139335), and Safety Culture Ladder Trede 3 — that functions as a tender prerequisite in Dutch social housing and institutional construction. Operations are executed by approximately 12-13 specialists covering structural engineering, BIM modeling, work preparation, project leadership, and on-site assembly under Director Bart van der Wijst.

Products and services

• Structural Timber Superstructure Construction (CLT, Glulam, HSB, Azobé) Full design, prefabrication and on-site assembly of load-bearing engineered-timber superstructures (cross-laminated timber, glulam, houtskeletbouw frame and azobé hardwood elements) for multi-story residential, healthcare, education, retail and utility buildings, delivered to main contractors, housing corporations and project developers in the Netherlands.
• 3D BIM Engineering with Tekla Structures In-house 3D BIM engineering service using Tekla Structures to model, detail and prepare manufacturing data for CLT, glulam and HSB structures, offered to main contractors and developers as a preconstruction engineering input or as part of the integrated Design-to-Build package.
• Circular Timber Construction Timber superstructure design and build service focused on circular-economy principles, featuring reusable demountable connections and validated circularity credentials for clients bidding on tenders that include circular-KPI requirements.
• Biobased Construction Solutions Engineered-timber superstructure package emphasizing biobased materials to meet Dutch environmental-performance (MPG) and embodied-CO2 targets, including lifecycle-aware material specification.
• CLT Blocks for Orthopedic Shoe Lasts Pressed CLT blocks supplied to orthopedic manufacturers for production of custom-molded shoe lasts, leveraging Arcon's CLT pressing know-how outside its core structural construction business.
• On-site Timber Assembly and Erection On-site erection service delivered by Arcon's own transport and assembly crews, handling prefabricated CLT, glulam and HSB elements from delivery to structurally complete building, included as part of the integrated timber construction package.

Quantifiable outcome

• Projects using CLT sequester hundreds of tonnes of CO₂ (e.g., HAVEP: 1,039,725 kg; Bosvallei: 1,131,245 kg; VB Boschdijk: ~6 million kg)
