Van Moll engineering B.V.

What Van Moll engineering B.V. does

Van Moll engineering B.V. is a Dutch steel construction drawing bureau (tekenbureau) founded in 2004 and headquartered in Valkenswaard, Noord-Brabant, Netherlands. The 6-person firm provides specialized 3D modeling, engineering, and documentation services for steel and concrete structures, serving steel fabricators, architects, engineering consultancies, and constructors in the Netherlands and abroad. Its deliverables include work preparation drawings (werkplaatstekeningen), construction overviews, 3D models, and static calculations for projects ranging from 1,000 kg components to 1,000-ton industrial structures, including high-profile work such as The Opus Tower in Dubai and architectural sculptures for the UEFA Champions League Final in Lisbon.

The company's technology stack centers on Tekla Structures for 3D CAD modeling, supported by RFEM for structural strength calculations (via a partnership with MSc Engineering), IDEA Statica for connection detail calculations, and Leica Total Station for on-site surveying. All deliverables comply with the NEN-EN 1090 European standard required for CE-marking of load-bearing steel structures (mandatory since July 2014). The firm operates BIM workflows with IFC and STEP file exchange formats for multi-discipline interoperability, producing NEN-compliant fabrication and assembly drawings under a single integrated offering.

Van Moll engineering operates a sales-led, project-based professional services model with quotation-based pricing. Customers are acquired through direct website contact, email, and phone inquiries; the company also offers detachment (secondment) of staff to client locations. It maintains a reference network of approximately 17 named clients spanning steel fabricators, industrial constructors, and engineering consultancies (including Kersten Europe, Akker Metaal, Royal HaskoningDHV, Iemants, Staco, and Koppes Groep). Privately held with no disclosed external funding, the company is founder-operated, with Frank Verhees as the primary contact, and has grown organically since 2004 through domestic Netherlands operations and selective international projects in Belgium, the UAE, and Portugal.

Expansion highlights4 records

Others

• Movares: Dutch engineering consultancy active in rail, infrastructure, and structural steel design — adjacent rather than directly competing, but operates in the same Benelux structural engineering ecosystem and could partner with or compete against Van Moll on infrastructure steel projects.

Broad incumbents

• Witteveen+Bos: Large Dutch engineering consultancy with structural and steel design practices serving infrastructure, industrial, and building clients in Benelux and internationally — comparable on structural engineering capability though at significantly larger scale and broader scope.
• Royal HaskoningDHV: Major Dutch engineering consultancy with industrial, structural, and BIM service lines that serves the same steel construction and industrial customer base as Van Moll; notably also listed as a Van Moll reference client.
• Iv-Groep: Large Dutch multi-disciplinary engineering firm delivering structural, mechanical, and industrial engineering including steel structures and offshore work — a broader incumbent that competes for the same large-fabricator and offshore structural engineering work Van Moll serves.

Direct peers

• IMd Raadgevend Ingenieurs: Dutch structural and building physics consultancy performing structural calculations, BIM modeling, and steel/concrete design for commercial and residential projects — directly overlapping with Van Moll's engineering and calculation services for the same fabricator/architect customer base.
• ABT Engineers: Belgian-Dutch engineering firm providing structural design, BIM, and steel construction engineering for non-residential buildings and infrastructure — a near-direct competitor in Benelux structural steel engineering services.
• Nieman Raadgevend Ingenieurs: Dutch building technology and structural engineering consultancy providing structural design, BIM coordination, and construction supervision for residential and non-residential projects — overlaps with Van Moll on steel engineering and construction support services.
• Wassenaar Ingenieurs: Dutch structural engineering consultancy offering structural calculations, 3D BIM modeling, and steel construction design for architects and contractors — comparable scope and client base to Van Moll's Tekla-driven services.

Regional players

• Betonconstruct.nl / Stabu-con bureaux: Network of Dutch structural drafting and engineering bureaus serving fabricators and contractors — represents the fragmented regional peer set of small Tekla/modeling bureaus against which Van Moll directly competes.

Emerging players

• Construsoft: Tekla/Trimble reseller and BIM services partner across Benelux and Europe, providing software implementation and modeling services — a peer in the Tekla-based BIM services niche that combines software distribution with engineering delivery.
