What Fides Expertise BV does

Fides Expertise BV is a Dutch private limited company headquartered in Raamsdonksveer, North Brabant, founded in 2010 with 8 employees. The firm is a construction technical damage expertise and advisory bureau offering nine specialized measurement, monitoring, and advisory service modules: pre-construction surveys (vooropnames), SBR-compliant vibration measurements (trillingsmetingen), continuous deformation monitoring via Robotic Total Station (RTS), telemetric and manual crack width monitoring, height and deformation measurements, inclinometer and tilt pipe measurements for excavations, Class 1 certified noise measurements, damage claims handling, and risk assessments with monitoring plans.

Underlying technology consists of geodetic measurement and sensor instrumentation — Robotic Total Stations with sub-millimeter practical accuracy and 15-20 minute measurement cycles, SBR-guideline-compliant vibration measurement systems, Class 1 noise meters with automated daily reporting, GSM-connected telemetric crack monitors, and inclinometer systems for horizontal displacement tracking. The service wrap includes automated 24/7 monitoring with three-level threshold alerting (attention, warning, alarm), email/SMS notifications, and a client web portal for real-time data access.

The business model is professional services with project-based pricing and multi-year contract cadence. Fides Expertise operates a sales-led B2B go-to-market, delivering services on-site with expert technicians. Revenue is generated through two streams: expertise and advisory services (pre-construction surveys, damage assessments, risk inspections) and recurring monitoring services that span construction project timelines. The company holds dual KOMO certifications (BRL 5023 for vibration measurement, BRL 5024 for building surveys), is a member of NIVRE, and serves construction companies, Dutch municipalities and government agencies, and civil engineering (GWW) contractors. Geographic scope is domestic Netherlands only.
