What Dijkoraad does

Dijkoraad is a Dutch installation engineering and consultancy firm founded in 1964 and headquartered in Oldenzaal, Overijssel, Netherlands. The firm provides specialized advisory services across four core service lines: Maintenance Advisory (Onderhouds advies), Energy (Energie), Heritage Restoration (Erfgoed), and Advisory & Implementation (Advies & Realisatie). Dijkoraad serves Dutch institutional clients including government bodies, healthcare organizations, educational institutions, industrial manufacturers, and heritage site owners, delivering services such as NEN2767 condition inspections, multi-year maintenance planning (MJOP) using O-Prognose software, BENG/EPA-U energy certification, and turnkey installation design for new builds, renovations, and heritage restorations across the Netherlands.

The firm's technical foundation centers on BIM (Building Information Modeling) as a core methodology, supplemented by specialized tools including Autodesk Revit, AutoCAD, VABI Elements, O-Prognose for 40-year maintenance forecasting, and building simulation tools. Dijkoraad's advisors hold recognized certifications including BENG, EPA-U, and DuMaVa, and have developed specialized solutions for grid-constrained environments through integrated battery storage and Energy Management Systems (EMS), as demonstrated at the Zorgcomplex Lochem project where peak loads were managed within a 55 kW grid connection. Other notable technical deployments include Smart Building systems with occupancy-based activation at Stadhuis Apeldoorn, Cemacs-integrated security platforms at Museum Volkenkunde, and BIM-led multi-discipline coordination for industrial facilities such as Apollo Vredestein's production halls.

Dijkoraad operates an enterprise field-sales model, with a compact team of 13 employees generating revenue primarily through project-based advisory engagements and recurring multi-year maintenance contracts. Customer acquisition is driven by direct senior-advisor relationships, sector-specific expertise, and a portfolio of landmark projects including the Flamco Almere headquarters (BREEAM Outstanding, Energielabel A+++), the Heutink Nijverdal 28,500 m² facility (Energielabel A+++), and long-term advisory partnerships such as the ~20-year relationship with Apollo Vredestein Enschede. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; engagements are scoped per project with deliverables including designs, MJOPs, NEN2767 inspections, and technical specifications. Geographic scope is exclusively the Netherlands.
