What BCI Gebouw does
BCI Gebouw BV is a Dutch SaaS company headquartered in 's-Hertogenbosch that operates a web-based measurement platform for the environmental, CO2, and circularity performance of buildings and real estate portfolios. The platform integrates three proprietary databases — the National Environmental Database (NMD), the NIBE database for material origin and future scenarios, and Alba Concepts' exclusive disassembly database — updated daily, and calculates standardized Dutch and European indicators including MPG, MKI, Paris Proof, GWP per phase A-D, Construction Stored Carbon, Material Circularity Index, Disassembly Index, and the proprietary Building Circularity Index (BCI) score co-developed with TU/e since 2016. The tool is validated by Stichting NMD for official MPG calculations and recognized by RVO for MIA/Vamil subsidy evidence, Platform CB'23, and GRESB.
The company monetizes primarily through building-based software license subscriptions (€600 for a single credit up to €55,000 for unlimited annual licenses, auto-renewing with bulk corporate tiers), complemented by training and BCI Expert certification programs, manufacturer Product Circularity Index (PCI) assessments at €500 each, and GRESB consultancy services. Go-to-market combines direct website self-service with account management for enterprise segments (housing corporations, municipalities, corporates, healthcare/education, real estate investors), event-driven demos and training, and an embedded channel through 50+ certified Experts, the Planon MJOP integration, and the Bryder housing association partnership. The core customer base spans contractors, architects, maintenance firms, installers, consulting firms, housing corporations, and real estate investors.
With approximately 10 employees and active hiring underway, BCI Gebouw is positioning as the Dutch regulatory-grade standard for circular construction measurement while extending internationally through the BCI Gebouw International module (launching November 2025) using ECO Portal EPD data, and preparing WLC-GWP and MEPG calculation capabilities aligned with tightening Dutch MPG thresholds and EU Whole Life Carbon reporting requirements under EPBD.

Revenue model
- Software License Subscriptions (SaaS): BCI Gebouw operates on a license-based model where organizations purchase licenses containing a set number of credits. Each credit represents one building for a period of 12 months. Corporate licenses offer bulk pricing for organizations performing multiple calculations annually. All business licenses auto-renew after 12 months. Licenses are building-based (not user-based), meaning unlimited users per license.
- Training and Certification Services: BCI Gebouw offers various training programs (Basic, Incompany, BCI X Bryder, Advanced, Real Estate, Refresher, A1 to A2) with different pricing for individual students and corporate license holders. Training is delivered online (MS Teams) or on-site. Advanced training is mandatory for becoming a certified BCI Gebouw Expert.
- Product Circularity Index (PCI) Assessment: Manufacturers of circular building products can pay a fee (€500 excluding VAT per PCI) to have their products assessed for MCI and Disassemblability Index, then added to the Nibe & Alba Concepts databases.
- GRESB Consultancy Support: BCI Gebouw provides practical consultancy throughout the GRESB process, including interpretation of GRESB questions, data support, substantiation within the GRESB Portal, and score optimization. This is part of the service offering but represents a revenue-generating consultancy element.

BCI Gebouw competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- One Click LCA: One Click LCA is a global SaaS platform for life cycle assessment and embodied carbon calculations in construction. It competes directly with BCI Gebouw's LCA, MPG, and GWP functionality, with a much larger geographic footprint, broader indicator coverage, and established European and global presence.
- Madaster: Madaster is a Dutch-origin materials passport and circularity platform for the built environment, offering building material registries and circularity scoring. It is the closest direct competitor to BCI Gebouw, operating in the same niche with comparable functionality (materials passports, circularity indicators) and overlapping customer base in the Netherlands and Europe.
- eTool Global: eTool provides whole-of-life LCA software for the built environment, including embodied carbon and operational energy assessment. It is a direct competitor in the building-level LCA SaaS category with growing European presence.
- Alba Concepts: Alba Concepts is the co-developer of BCI Gebouw's BCI methodology and supplies its unique disassembly database. While a strategic partner rather than direct software competitor, it also offers circularity consulting and validation services that overlap with BCI Gebouw's advisory offerings.
- Sustainable Minds: Sustainable Minds provides LCA and environmental product declaration software, competing with BCI Gebouw in material-level environmental impact analysis. It is more focused on product-level transparency than portfolio-level circularity, but overlaps in EPD-driven workflows.
- Building Transparency (EC3): EC3 (Embodied Carbon in Construction Calculator) is a free tool from Building Transparency that provides EPD-based embodied carbon calculations for construction projects. It overlaps with BCI Gebouw's GWP and EPD-based assessment capabilities, though it focuses on carbon (not circularity) and is primarily North American.
Others
- DGBC (Dutch Green Building Council): DGBC owns BREEAM-NL in the Netherlands and publishes methodologies (Disassembly Measurement Method V2.0, Adaptive Capacity Method 2.1) that BCI Gebouw uses. It is a standards-setter rather than a direct competitor, but its evolving methodologies directly drive BCI Gebouw's product roadmap.
Broad incumbents
- Planon Software: Planon is the SaaS platform on which BCI Gebouw is built, and also offers its own Building Circularity Insights tool that competes with BCI Gebouw's portfolio-level analytics. It serves as both a technology partner and a competitive incumbent in enterprise real estate software.
- Autodesk Tally: Autodesk Tally is an LCA plugin for Revit that provides building-level environmental impact analysis. As part of Autodesk's broader AEC software portfolio, it competes with BCI Gebouw's LCA functionality but as one feature within a much wider construction software suite and a global customer base.
Regional players
- Merosch: Merosch is a Dutch sustainability consultancy in construction, with consultants certified as BCI Gebouw Experts. It provides complementary advisory services in the Dutch market rather than competing software, sharing the same customer base.
