DGI Dak & Gevel Ingenieurs BV

What DGI Dak & Gevel Ingenieurs BV does

DGI Dak & Gevel Ingenieurs BV is a Dutch independent engineering consultancy founded in 1999 by ing J.M. Bruins, specializing exclusively in the building envelope — roofs and facades. The firm is headquartered in Raamsdonksveer, Netherlands, operates with approximately five employees, and delivers project-based professional services including inspections, damage research, design review, maintenance diagnostics, advisory, construction supervision, training, and specialized 3D computer modeling for water accumulation calculations and roof collapse investigation. DGI positions itself as the only Dutch bureau capable, together with its structural engineer, of reproducing roof damage scenarios one-to-one via 3D models.

The firm's client base is horizontal and B2B, serving damage experts, insurance companies, building owners, municipalities, property managers, and occasionally legal/arbitration bodies (e.g., Raad van Arbitrage van de Bouw). Named engagements span enterprise real estate (Ahold Vastgoed), maritime (Koninklijke Schelde Groep), municipal government (Gemeente Lansingerland), water authorities (Waterschap Brabantse Delta), and community/religious property (Gereformeerde Gemeinde Emmeloord). Work is delivered under the DNR 2011 standard terms as bespoke engagements rather than recurring subscriptions, with pricing determined on a project-by-project basis and prospective clients receiving non-binding quotes via the firm's website.

Revenue is project-based professional services fees, distributed through a direct sales motion supported by a content-led website (case studies, reference projects, industry news). The firm has no disclosed funding, no public listing, no subsidiaries, and no formal partnerships; the founder appears to retain ownership. The most recent observable operational event is a December 2018 office relocation to a converted building at Biezenstraat 1 in Raamsdonksveer, with exterior facade renovation planned for mid-2019.
