Bouw & Gezond

What Bouw & Gezond does

Bouw & Gezond is a Dutch occupational health and safety services provider specializing in the construction industry (bouwnijverheid). Founded in 2010, the company delivers prevention programs, absenteeism (verzuim) management, reintegration support, DIA/PAGO occupational health examinations, and HR advisory services to construction sector employers. It operates from three offices — Hardenberg, Dedemsvaart, and Zwolle — serving clients across the Overijssel and Drenthe regions in the eastern Netherlands. A team of more than 40 specialists delivers these services through a personal, sales-led B2B model, with a strategic collaboration with Volandis providing access to industry-standard construction-sector health and safety protocols.

On January 1, 2024, Bouw & Gezond was acquired by Vitalr B.V. (alongside Vechtstad Consultancy) and now operates as a sub-brand within the Vitalr platform. Vitalr is itself part of the Vrieling group, which carries more than 75 years of experience in HR, occupational health (arbo), and insurance. Within this structure, Bouw & Gezond retains its construction-industry specialization while clients gain access to a broader portfolio including HR advice, training, collective health insurance, and disability insurance products.

The business model is B2B professional services with quote-based pricing for construction industry clients. Revenue mechanics are service-fee based across advisory, examination, and absence/reintegration engagements, with no disclosed subscription, SaaS, or premium components. No AI/ML technology stack is disclosed; service delivery is human-specialist led. The competitive position rests on construction-sector domain knowledge, the Volandis partnership, and the integration with Vitalr/Vrieling's broader HR-arbo-insurance platform.
