ARQUS engineering

What ARQUS engineering does

ARQUS Engineering BV is a privately held Belgian structural engineering consulting firm headquartered in Deinze-Astene, formed on January 1, 2023 through the merger of Studiebureau Engitop and AV Engineering under founding partners Nico Evenepoel and Alexander Vermeersch. The firm offers stability studies for concrete, steel and wood constructions, EPB (Energy Performance and Indoor Climate) certification required for Belgian building permits, complete execution dossiers (formwork plans, reinforcement plans, bending schedules, tender documents), and site supervision during the rough construction phase.

The firm's service delivery is anchored in BIM (Building Information Modeling), which it markets as an integrated design process enabling architects, engineers and contractors to collaborate on a shared 3D model from early project stages, allowing digital exploration and error correction prior to construction. The team comprises approximately 11 engineers and BIM modelers operating from a single office, with a legally registered seat at Dorpsstraat 25 bus 11, 9800 Deinze.

Commercially, ARQUS operates a sales-led, project-based professional services model with no publicly disclosed pricing. It serves architects, real estate developers, construction companies, and municipalities primarily in West and East Flanders. The named client portfolio spans residential developers (Zabra, Dakota Vastgoed, Deleersnyder), commercial and industrial firms (Koramic, Vika, Mercedes-Benz Ghistelinck, Medina/Bent Shoes), professional sports organizations (Club Brugge, Zulte-Waregem, KMSK Deinze), healthcare (Maria Middelares), and municipal governments (Hasselt, Zulte, Lendelede). Distribution is direct via referrals and industry relationships, supported by a company website and Instagram presence. The firm has not raised external funding and remains wholly owned by its two founding partners.

Core offering

ARQUS Engineering is a Belgian engineering bureau that provides structural stability studies for concrete, steel, and wood constructions, along with EPB (Energy Performance and Indoor Climate) certification required for building permits. The firm uses BIM (Building Information Modeling) as an integrated design methodology that brings architects, engineers, and contractors into a shared digital model from the early project stages, and delivers complete execution dossiers including formwork plans, reinforcement plans, bending schedules, and specifications, plus site supervision during the rough construction phase.

Product overview

ARQUS Engineering is an engineering bureau that offers a unified suite of structural and energy performance services for construction projects. The core offerings consist of Stabiliteitsstudies (structural stability engineering) and EPB (Energy Performance and Indoor Climate) certification, supported by BIM (Building Information Modeling) methodology and accompanied by complete execution dossiers and site supervision. These services are delivered as integrated consulting rather than as distinct software products.

Functional benefit

Products and services

• Stabiliteitsstudies (Stability Studies) Structural engineering services involving calculation and modeling of building constructions in concrete, steel, and wood. Engineers develop economical and durable structural concepts from architectural plans and produce complete execution dossiers including formwork plans, reinforcement plans, bending schedules, and specifications for contractors.
• EPB-rapportering (Energy Performance and Indoor Climate) Energy Performance and Indoor Climate certification required for any building for which an urban planning permit is requested in Belgium. ARQUS advises on EPB possibilities from the design phase through execution phase to ensure regulatory compliance.
• BIM (Bouw Informatie Model) - Integrated Design Process Building Information Modeling methodology enabling an integrated design process where all parties (architects, engineers, contractors) collaborate around the same digital 3D model from early project stages, allowing digital design, exploration, and correction before construction begins.
• Uitvoeringsdossiers (Execution Dossiers) Complete execution documentation packages including formwork plans, reinforcement plans, bending schedules, measurement specifications, and tender documents that can be flawlessly followed by the executing contractor on site.
• Werfbegeleiding (Site Supervision) On-site supervision of the rough construction phase by ARQUS project engineers, including site inspections, monitoring of pending matters, and continued availability for contractor questions during construction.

Broad incumbents

• Arcadis: Global design, engineering, and consultancy firm with significant Belgian operations offering structural and sustainability services for buildings. Comparable on the structural/EPB building engineering axis but as a much broader incumbent spanning many disciplines.
• Royal HaskoningDHV: Dutch-headquartered global engineering consultancy providing structural, civil, and energy engineering for buildings and infrastructure. Comparable in core structural engineering offering but operates at much larger scale across multiple geographies.
• Sweco: European engineering consultancy with strong Belgian/Northern European presence offering structural engineering and BIM-based design for building projects. Comparable service offering at a much larger pan-European scale.
• Tractebel (ENGIE): Large Belgian-headquartered engineering consultancy offering structural, civil, and energy engineering services across buildings, infrastructure, and energy projects. Directly comparable to ARQUS in structural/EPB services for Belgian construction but operates at vastly greater scale with multidisciplinary scope.

Regional players

• Witteveen+Bos: Dutch engineering consultancy with structural and building services practice serving Benelux construction market. Comparable offering in structural design but primarily operates from the Netherlands rather than the Belgian market ARQUS serves.

Direct peers

• Bollinger + Grohmann: European structural engineering consultancy specialized in stability studies and BIM-based design for complex buildings. Directly comparable service offering (stability engineering + integrated digital design) with similar project mix including cultural, sports, and residential.
• VK Architects & Engineers: Belgian multidisciplinary engineering and architecture firm providing structural design, EPB, BIM, and project support for Belgian building projects. Closest comparable in terms of integrated structural engineering + EPB + BIM service model and Belgian geographic focus.
