Revenue model

1. Civil infrastructure projects (GWW): Project-based revenue from civil infrastructure projects including road construction, canal work, pipe/sewer systems, earthworks, and environmental infrastructure. Projects range from small maintenance to large public works (€8M Raadhuisplein Emmen, €3.6M Gele Stenen Groningen). Revenue is earned through competitive tendering for government and institutional clients.
2. Construction services (Avitec Bouw): Residential and commercial construction including newbuild, renovation, small construction, and maintenance/repair services. Revenue is project-based, often for housing corporations, municipalities, and private clients.
3. Environmental recycling and processing (Milieu+): Processing and recycling of construction waste, concrete, green waste, wood waste, and soil. Revenue is generated through processing fees for incoming materials.
4. Sewer services (Rioolservice): Commercial sewer services including camera inspection, preventive cleaning, pipe/smoke detection, unclogging, and pump maintenance. May include maintenance contracts with periodic service billing.
