BIK bouw

What BIK bouw does

BIK bouw is a Netherlands-based construction company founded in 2015 and headquartered in Barendrecht, South Holland. The company delivers new construction, renovation and restoration, building transformation, and sustainability upgrades for residential and utility projects, with a stated emphasis on circular building practices and CO2-neutral construction. Its technical differentiators are two branded methods: BIK wood, an industrial modular timber prefab system for floors, walls, and facades, and 2nd Skin, a facade insulation and modernization concept developed with a dedicated partner. Notable delivered projects include the Havenlofts floating residential street in Rotterdam, the BlueCity circular economy hub, the Hofvrouw and Slaakhuys heritage transformations, healthcare centers (GC Emmahof, GC 13kV), and the Bonifatiuskerk project in Dordrecht.

BIK bouw serves four primary client segments: property developers and housing corporations (HEF wonen, Woonstad Rotterdam, Woonbron, CPO Nijverhoek), healthcare institutions, government and municipalities, and private individuals for custom residential work. The company employs a team of roughly 30-33 staff including project managers, werkvoorbereiders, uitvoerders, a tender manager, calculator, and specialist roles such as a resident consultant (bewonersconsulent) and VGM coordinator. Operations are concentrated in the Randstad (Rotterdam, Dordrecht, Den Haag, Amsterdam) with additional projects on the Veluwe and other Dutch regions.

The business model is project-based and quote-driven: revenue is generated through direct construction contracts with institutional and private clients, with pricing determined per project based on specifications and scope. Go-to-market is relationship-driven, relying on direct engagement, chain collaboration with long-standing partners, professional networking (LinkedIn), a corporate website (bikbouw.nl), and earned media through Rotterdam Architecture Prize recognition. Following the November 2025 passing of founder Jasper Sluimer, Gaby van Veen assumed the role of Algemeen directeur and Peter van der Have became Commercieel directeur.

Core offering

BIK bouw is a Dutch construction company that executes new construction, renovation, transformation, and sustainability projects for residential and utility buildings. The company delivers turnkey building services - including planning, prefabrication, and on-site execution - for property developers, housing corporations, healthcare institutions, government entities, and private clients. Its work is differentiated by circular building methods, a proprietary modular timber construction system (BIK wood), and a partnership-based facade insulation concept (2nd Skin).

Product overview

BIK bouw is a construction company offering a unified suite of building services, not a platform-plus-modules architecture. Their core offering consists of four main service lines (New Construction, Renovation & Restoration, Transformation, and Sustainability) complemented by two specialized sub-brands: BIK wood (a modular timber construction method using industrially produced prefab elements for rapid on-site assembly) and 2nd Skin (a facade insulation and energy efficiency concept for existing buildings). Projects include unique developments like Havenlofts (floating residential units), BlueCity (circular economy hub), pop music venues, healthcare centers, and prison-to-residential transformations. The company emphasizes circular building principles, CO2 reduction targets, and sustainable construction practices.
