Aannemingsbedrijf Van der Meer B.V.

What Aannemingsbedrijf Van der Meer B.V. does

Aannemingsbedrijf Van der Meer B.V. is a third-generation, family-owned Dutch civil engineering contractor headquartered in Benthuizen, Zuid-Holland, operating since 1953 with approximately 50 permanent employees. The company delivers integrated infrastructure, green-space, water-engineering, and sports-field projects through six interconnected practice areas — Verhardingen (paving), Rioleringen (drainage), Bouw- en Woonrijp Maken (site preparation), Groenvoorziening (green space), Waterwerken (water engineering), and Sport — all underpinned by an in-house Engineering & Construct capability using 3D modeling, BIM, and GPS-guided earthworks. A differentiating element is its owned and increasingly electrified equipment fleet, including proprietary assets such as the RoadPrinter Eco (a 100% electric paving machine) and a co-developed electric Yamaha UMX brush machine for artificial-turf maintenance.

The business model is project-based, revenue is generated primarily through Dutch public procurement (RAW, UAV-GC, UAV-DC tenders) for municipal governments, water boards, and provincial authorities, supplemented by direct private-party and sports-club contracts. Pricing follows fixed-price or cost-plus structures on multi-year frameworks; the company targets clients within roughly 50 km of Benthuizen, supported by branch offices in Rotterdam and Den Haag. The firm operates as a main contractor with full in-house execution, supported by an unusually broad certification stack for its size — including ISO 9001:2015, CO2 Prestatieladder Niveau 5 (highest tier), VCA Petrochemie, Safety Culture Ladder Light 4.0, BRL 9334 Straatwerk, Groenkeur, and SBB Erkend Leerbedrijf status — that functions as a competitive filter in public tenders.

The firm is now led by brothers Rob and Joris van der Meer (third generation) since January 2021, following the retirement of their father Leo after 32 years as director. The company invests in workforce development through the SPG Infra vocational-training consortium and is active in industry bodies including BSNC and VMS. Revenue figures are not publicly disclosed, and the firm is exclusively a private, family-controlled Dutch B.V. with no external institutional investors, parent entity, or stock exchange listing.
