What Bogh & Helstrup does

Bøgh & Helstrup A/S (trading as BHBR) is a privately held Danish consulting firm founded on 1 March 1996 in Frederiksberg, with a second office in Holstebro serving Jutland. The firm operates three integrated service divisions: Mold, Wood-Decaying Fungi and Moisture; Environmentally Problematic Substances and Occupational Health; and an on-site Accredited Asbestos Laboratory on Frederiksberg that uses light microscopy under DS/EN ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accreditation granted by DANAK. Its service catalog covers the full building-biology and hazardous-substance lifecycle, including free initial visual risk assessments, accredited material and air analyses, environmental screening (miljøscreening), construction-waste notification (anmeldelse af byggeaffald), professional supervision during asbestos remediation (fagtilsyn), and post-sanitation purity control (renhedskontrol).

The firm serves three primary customer segments — private homeowners, housing associations (boligforeninger), and businesses/contractors — with secondary work for architects, engineers, insurance companies, lawyers, and municipalities such as Frederiksberg. Pricing is project-based and quote-driven, with a transactional floor at 650 DKK (incl. VAT) per laboratory sample and a 2-hour express option for walk-ins; free visual risk assessments serve as the top-of-funnel entry point. A 2025 addition, Resource Planning (Ressourceplanlægning), is being marketed to capture compliance work tied to a Danish law effective 1 July 2025 on construction-material mapping and recycling.

Revenue mechanics are predominantly fee-for-service professional consulting and accredited laboratory work performed in-house without third-party intermediaries. The firm added three ISO certifications in 2025 (9001, 14001, 45001), holds membership in FRI (Foreningen af Rådgivende Ingeniører), DAKOFA, SBI and BYG-ERFA, and operates a sales-led GTM motion anchored by direct consultant engagement and SEO/content-driven inbound demand. Leadership consists of founder Claus Bøgh Nielsen (bygningskonstruktør/tømrer), department manager and partner Jakob Helstrup (Cand.scient biologist, carpenter, expert witness), and CEO and partner Niclas Jensen (Cand.polyt, civil engineer in biotechnology).
