Prins Bouw

What Prins Bouw does

Prins Bouw B.V. is a Dutch regional construction company headquartered in 't Harde, Gelderland, with additional offices in Ermelo and Vorchten. Founded in 1924 by Gerrit Jan Prins as a small masonry firm, the company is now in its fifth generation of family ownership after the December 2024 transfer from Wim and Aartje Prins to Gerrit Jan and Willemijn Prins. The firm delivers an integrated suite of construction services under six lines: Woningbouw (residential construction including apartments, single-family homes, semi-detached houses, and luxury villas), Utiliteitsbouw (commercial construction for offices, healthcare, schools, and sports facilities), Verbouw (conversions and extensions), Renovatie, Restauratie (historic and monumental building restoration under the unique Erkende Restauratiekwaliteit certification), and Projectontwikkeling via its wholly-owned development arm Prins Project, established in 2005.

The business employs more than 100 permanent staff plus apprentices trained in-house as "Prins Bouwers," and operates across the Velderland region of Gelderland, Overijssel, and Flevoland. Service delivery is anchored by a single-point-of-contact model from project start to key handover, project-based custom pricing, and a suite of sustainability and quality credentials including ISO 9001:2015, VCA, PEFC Chain of Custody (since 2014), CO2 Prestatieladder Level 3, Bouwgarant keurmerk, and the distinctive ERM restoration quality certification. Customer segments span private individuals, housing corporations, educational institutions, healthcare providers, businesses, and municipalities, with named anchors including Stichting de Plataan, Gemeente Oldebroek, Lambert Franckens College, Christelijk College De Noordgouw Heerde, Uwoon, and Bemog.

Revenue is generated through one-time project contracts (construction services and project development) and ongoing maintenance/repair engagements, distributed through direct sales (website quote requests, phone, email), broker partnerships (Van Der Linde Makelaardij, Kok & Heijkamp Makelaars), and industry association membership (Bouwend Nederland). The company made one disclosed acquisition (Kosters, 2013) and channels ongoing development through Prins Project's Hokseberg, 't Blikveld, De Graaf, and Klepperbelt pipelines. The firm is privately held, with no external institutional investors or public listing.
