MEERBOUW®

What MEERBOUW® does

Meerbouw Rotterdam B.V., trading as MEERBOUW®, is a privately held Dutch integrated contractor (integraal aannemer) founded in 2004 and headquartered in Delft since June 2025. The company delivers full project trajectories — from advisory through execution — across six service lines: Vastgoedonderhoud (property maintenance and MJOP), Verduurzaming (energy retrofits, Nul-op-de-Meter, gas-free solutions), Duurzame scholen (sustainable schools via the MeerSchool consortium), Renovatie, Transformatie (office/industrial-to-residential or care conversions), and Brandveiligheid (fire safety). It employs over 100 craft professionals (vakliefhebbers), with documented capability in resident communication methodology and BIM-enabled construction management.

Meerbouw serves institutional clients including housing corporations (woningbouwverenigingen), VvE associations, school boards, healthcare organizations, institutional real estate investors (Achmea Real Estate, PME Pensioenfonds, RE:BORN, Dudok Groep, MVGM), and municipal governments across Southwest Netherlands. Revenue is generated through project-based, custom-quoted contracts often spanning multiple years; select school projects include 20-year maintenance and building-performance obligations. The proprietary MeerSchool consortium with Koers and RoosRos Architecten enables school renovations within a 7-week summer holiday window, and the Circulair bouwen offering claims approximately 40% CO2 reduction versus demolition-rebuild through reuse of existing structures.

Meerbouw is a partner within the Bouwers van morgen collective (alongside Ervas, Raevast, Rendon, Roza and Hoogvliet), which together employ 350 professionals and were formally aligned in February 2025 to address the Netherlands' existing-buildings sustainability challenge. The collective operates under OMDUS Groep. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales via direct relationships, tenders, and bouwteam arrangements, with limited reliance on broad digital marketing. No external institutional investment, PE backing, or public listing is evidenced, and revenue is not publicly disclosed.
