Core offering

Ecosprong B.V. is an ecological advisory bureau that conducts flora and fauna surveys and assessments to support construction, infrastructure, and development projects in the Netherlands. The company delivers Quickscan flora en fauna, species-specific research for protected wildlife (bats, house sparrows, swifts, mustelids), breeding bird inspections, nitrogen deposition calculations, ecological work protocols, environmental permit advisory, and on-site ecological supervision. All services are delivered to ensure compliance with the Dutch Omgevingswet (Environment and Planning Act).

Product overview

Ecosprong B.V. is an ecological advisory bureau offering a unified service portfolio centered on flora and fauna compliance for spatial development projects under Dutch environmental law. The core offering begins with a Quickscan flora en fauna, followed by Soortspecifiek onderzoek (species-specific research) for protected species including vleermuizen, huismus, gierzwaluw, and marterachtigen. Supporting services include Broedvogelcontrole, Stikstofdepositie berekening, Omgevingswet advisering, and Omgevingsvergunning applications. The company also provides specialized railway ecology services (Spoorweg ecologie) with all necessary safety certifications, and ecological guidance during construction (Ecologische begeleiding). Ecosprong distinguishes itself through proprietary technology: the VeldApp for digital field data collection and processing, and drone-based surveys for difficult-to-access locations. The service delivery follows a sequential model: quickscan assessment, species-specific research if needed, permit acquisition support, and construction-phase ecological supervision.

Products and services

• Quickscan flora en fauna An orienting ecological preliminary survey conducted prior to spatial interventions such as construction, demolition, renovation, tree removal, or ground work. Combines desktop research (NDFF, Verspreidingsatlas, BIJ12) with field visits to assess presence or expected presence of protected plants and animals. Delivered to businesses, governments, and project developers across the Netherlands.
• Soortspecifiek onderzoek Species-specific follow-up research conducted when a quickscan indicates that protected species may be present. Covers research on vleermuizen (bats), huismus (house sparrow), gierzwaluw (swift), and marterachtigen (martens). Typically takes 1-12 months depending on the species. Delivered under BIJ12 protocols for businesses and government clients.
• Broedvogelcontrole Breeding bird inspection conducted shortly before the start of work activities such as tree removal, pruning, mowing, demolition, or renovation. Provides clearance or practical advice on measures to prevent disturbance of active nests. Delivered to construction and infrastructure clients.
• Stikstofdepositie berekening (AERIUS) Nitrogen deposition calculations using the AERIUS calculator to determine the impact of planned activities on surrounding Natura 2000 areas. Advises on emission reduction measures when deposition exceeds 0.00 mol/ha/jaar. Delivered to construction, infrastructure, and agricultural project developers.
• Omgevingswet en vergunningen Advisory services on the Omgevingswet (Environment and Planning Act) and permit requirements. Includes preparation and submission of omgevingsvergunning (environmental permit) applications for flora and fauna activities through the DSO system. Delivered to businesses and government clients.
• Vleermuisonderzoek Species-specific research on bats (vleermuizen) using bat detectors. All bat species in the Netherlands are strictly protected. Research typically requires 5-6 field visits between mid-May and September to establish presence or absence. Delivered to construction and infrastructure clients.
• Huismusonderzoek Species-specific research on house sparrows (huismus), which are protected year-round. Conducted according to BIJ12 guidelines with either two visits (April 1 - May 15) or four visits (March 10 - June 20). Delivered to construction and renovation clients.

Required when an Omgevingswet permit is obtained, ensuring compliance with permit conditions. Delivered to permit-holding construction and infrastructure clients.
• Ecologische begeleiding On-site ecological supervision during construction activities. Ecologists oversee work to ensure compliance with environmental regulations, including careful relocation of protected species and monitoring of ecological conditions. Delivered to construction and infrastructure clients.
