PLANN ingenieurs

What PLANN ingenieurs does

PLANN ingenieurs B.V. is a privately held Dutch civil engineering consultancy founded in 2017 when the Meppel branch of KYBYS.ING was spun off by directors Sander Akkerman and Arjen. Operating from headquarters in Meppel and a secondary office in Drachten, the firm employs approximately 25 people and serves public-sector clients primarily in Northern and Eastern Netherlands. The company's service portfolio spans four categories: Infra & Groen (infrastructure and green spaces), Natuur & Water (nature restoration, water management, and dike works), Sport (sports facility design, renovation, and multi-year maintenance planning), and Begraafplaatsen (cemetery planning).

The firm delivers full project lifecycle services — feasibility studies, design, tender preparation using RAW systematiek and UAV 2012 standards, construction supervision, and project management — using AutoCAD-based workflows supplemented by surveying and ecological assessment methodologies. Its principal proprietary offering is the O2 Natural Grass Concept, co-developed with DCM, which uses a specialized Lava Oxygen substrate (0-3mm lava with sub-5% dust content) to deliver natural turf fields supporting 400 hours of playability. The company positions itself as a market leader in sports engineering across Noord- en Oost-Nederland.

PLANN generates revenue exclusively through project-based professional services fees, sourced via public procurement tenders (EMVI, meervoudig onderhandse procedures) and direct commissions from municipal governments, water boards (waterschappen), national government bodies, and sports associations. Pricing is determined per project based on scope and complexity, with multi-year maintenance contracts as a recurring revenue component. The go-to-market motion is sales-led, leveraging a strong portfolio of reference projects in the region; no intermediary channels, software products, or subscription offerings exist.
