Atab Civiele Techniek

What Atab Civiele Techniek does

Atab Civiele Techniek B.V. is a Dutch civil-engineering consultancy headquartered in Werkendam, North Brabant, founded in 2011 by Arend Groeneveld as a sole proprietorship and now operating with a team of approximately 30 professionals. The firm provides integrated advisory and project-management services across the full civil-engineering lifecycle, organized into eight service lines: Onderzoeken (research), Participatie (stakeholder participation), Landmeten en inventariseren (surveying and inventory), Advies en management (advisory and project management), Ontwerpen (design), Vergunning en procedures (permits and procedures), Contracteren (contracting and procurement), and Projectbegeleiding (construction supervision). Its specialized sub-brand, Atab Landmeettechniek, delivers dedicated surveying services using Total Station, GNSS, and Trimble DiNi precision leveling for cadastral, BGT, DTM, and as-built measurement work.

The firm's customer base is concentrated in Dutch municipal governments (gemeenten) and water boards (waterschappen) across Southern Netherlands, with named engagements spanning Gemeente Altena, Drimmelen, Waalwijk, Goirle, Loon op Zand, Hendrik-Ido-Ambacht, Geertruidenberg, and Gilze en Rijen, alongside selected private developer commissions (e.g., Zwaluwe Projectontwikkeling). Projects are secured through public procurement (aanbestedingen) and bouwteam construction-team arrangements, with delivery emphasis on climate-adaptive design, sewage separation, ecological connectivity, and participatory planning supported by tools such as leefbarebuurt.nl and 3D photo-inpassing. The firm holds NEN-EN-ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 certifications and completed a full corporate rebranding in October 2025.

Revenue is generated through professional-services fees on a project basis, with no public pricing and no disclosed figures. The go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven, emphasizing 'korte lijnen' (short lines of communication) and long-tenured municipal partnerships. The company is privately held, founder-owned, organically financed with no external funding rounds, parent entity, or public-market listing, and reinvests in growth through hiring and operational scaling rather than capital raises.
