Bouwbedrijf Huurman Leiden B.V.

What Bouwbedrijf Huurman Leiden B.V. does

Bouwbedrijf Huurman Leiden B.V. is a Dutch construction company founded in November 1897 in Leiden, operating as a single-brand, full-service builder across three core divisions: New Construction (Nieuwbouw), Renovation Projects (Renovatieprojecten), and Service & Maintenance (Service & Onderhoud). The company delivers new build and renovation work for schools, sports facilities, offices, healthcare centers, and residential complexes, while the Service & Onderhoud division — its heritage business — provides planned maintenance, daily maintenance, mutation maintenance, kitchen/bathroom/toilet replacement, EPA energy labeling, PKVW-certified burglary prevention, fire safety sealing, insurance damage management, janitor services, and a 24-hour emergency dispatch backed by an in-house call center.

The company serves housing corporations (Portaal, Rijswijk Wonen, Rijnhart Wonen, Vidomes, Stichting Escoreal), municipalities (Leiden, Wassenaar), educational institutions (Universiteit Leiden, SCOL), and healthcare/welfare organizations (Gemiva-SVG Groep) across West Netherlands, executing both project-based lump-sum construction work and recurring service contracts structured per dwelling per year or on a time-and-materials basis. Its customer acquisition is relationship-driven and direct, supported by 125+ years of regional brand history, an in-house craft workforce, and localized dispatch density rather than formal marketing.

Since October 2024, Bouwbedrijf Huurman Leiden B.V. has operated as part of elk® groep, a 21-location, 1,200+ employee Dutch construction group, while continuing to trade under the Huurman Leiden brand from its Nieuwenhuizenweg 10 headquarters in Leiden's Roomburg industrial area. The company is privately held (Dutch B.V.), with Bart Kortman and Erwin van Wijngaarden listed as directors since the 2000 management buy-back from Hegeman Bouwgroep.
