All service delivery is handled by an in-house team of approximately 21 employees from a single Zoetermeer office, supplemented by established co-development partners (cepezed, DP6, De Twee Snoeken, LEVS, LBP|SIGHT, ZRi, Buro Happold). Long-term advisory relationships (e.g., BNG Bank since 2014, Helicon since 2005) and a flat organizational structure are central to the firm's positioning as a flexible, mid-sized Dutch engineering consultant.
