HAK BV Kraanverhuur & Grondverzet

What HAK BV Kraanverhuur & Grondverzet does

HAK BV Kraanverhuur & Grondverzet is a privately held Dutch civil engineering contractor (GWW — grond-, weg- en waterbouw) founded in 1993 by Piet Hak and headquartered at Ketelweg 45, Papendrecht, Zuid-Holland, Netherlands. The firm operates with roughly 20 employees and delivers an integrated portfolio of nine service lines: earthworks (Grondverzet), soil remediation (Bodemsanering), paving (Bestratingen), revetment and sheet piling (Beschoeiing en Damwanden), construction and residential-ready site preparation (Bouw- en Woonrijp Maken), demolition including asbestos remediation (Sloopwerken/Amoveren), sewerage (Riolering), ice prevention/winter maintenance (Gladheidsbestrijding), and gardening/landscaping (Hovenier en Groenvoorziening), plus an equipment rental and repair arm (Verhuur & Onderhoud). Underlying technology is conventional heavy civil-engineering equipment — a fleet spanning 1 to 30 tons including a 10-ton Liebherr A910 mobile crane, 3-ton crawler cranes, mini/midi excavators, and high-pressure jetting gear — supplemented by certified processes under ISO 9001, VCA**, BRL SVMS-007, and SIKB 7001/7004.

The business model is project-based professional services with quote-driven pricing conforming to CAO Bouw en Infra labor standards. HAK BV runs a sales-led, relationship-based go-to-market targeting Dutch provinces, municipalities, and water boards as primary public-sector clients, supplemented by industrial and commercial enterprises (Air Liquide, Van Leeuwen Buizen, HVC, Prodelta, De Staalbouwers, Gebr. Blokland) and a long tail of construction firms and private homeowners. Distribution is direct to project sites nationwide in the Netherlands, with no resellers or intermediaries other than a listing of rental inventory on the Entreeding marketplace. Channels are minimal: a portfolio website, direct phone/email, and light social-media presence — there is no app, API, or digital product surface. Revenue is not publicly disclosed, and the company is founder-owned with no external investors, parent, or M&A history.

Direct peers

• Van Gelder Aannemingsbedrijf: Mid-market Dutch civil GWW contractor delivering infrastructure, earthworks, paving, sewerage, and site preparation. Closely comparable in scale, service mix, and reliance on Dutch public-sector clients.
• KWS Infra: VolkerWessels subsidiary focused on road construction, paving, and civil infrastructure in the Netherlands. Direct overlap on bestratingen, grondverzet, and infrastructure delivery for municipalities and provinces.
• Mourik: Dutch industrial and environmental services contractor with GWW, demolition, and soil remediation capabilities overlapping directly with HAK's service portfolio. Comparable project-based contracting model and Dutch customer base (governments and industrial).

Broad incumbents

• VolkerWessels: Major Dutch construction conglomerate with extensive GWW, infrastructure, and road-construction subsidiaries (including KWS). Sets competitive benchmarks and procurement relationships at the scale HAK cannot match.
• Strukton: Dutch construction and infrastructure group active in civil works, road construction, water engineering, and asset management. Larger-scale peer with overlapping GWW/water-engineering scope.
• BAM Infra: Largest Dutch construction and engineering group, with significant civil infrastructure, earthworks, and road construction capabilities. Larger competitor for tenders HAK may bid on, especially government projects.
• Heijmans Infra: Major publicly traded Dutch construction and infrastructure group operating across civil, residential, and non-residential construction. Overlaps with HAK in GWW/infrastructure but at much larger scale and broader portfolio.
• Koninklijke Boskalis Westminster: Large Dutch contractor with dry and wet infrastructure activities including earthworks, civil works, and water-related engineering. Competes for major civil tenders and is an aspirational reference point for capability breadth.
• Dura Vermeer: Large Dutch construction and infrastructure firm with civil, residential, and commercial divisions. Competes for nonresidential and infrastructure tenders with portfolio overlap on site preparation, paving, and demolition.

Others

• Boels Rental: One of Europe's largest equipment-rental providers operating across the Netherlands. Comparable through HAK's Verhuur & Onderhoud rental vertical rather than its core contracting services; an adjacent ecosystem participant.
