Bergh Bouwsystemen

What Bergh Bouwsystemen does

Bergh Bouwsystemen B.V. is a Dutch provider of prefabricated timber-based building systems, founded around 2018 as a subsidiary of the family-owned Bergh Bouwgroep conglomerate (80 years in 2023). The company is headquartered in Bergen op Zoom (Witteveenweg 2) and operates an engineering, R&D, and showroom facility in Roosendaal (Klerkenveld 2, with a 1,500 m² VOXS showroom opened in January 2024). It delivers turnkey design-and-build construction through a collaborative 'bouwteam' model, targeting Dutch enterprise clients across corporate offices, care housing, education, and flexible-living segments.

The core product portfolio comprises three building systems: VOXS, a hybrid prefabricated system combining wood with other materials and using standardized prefab elements with dry connections for speed, flexibility, and circular disassembly; XYLO, a fully wooden building system emphasizing natural materials; and Houtbouw, custom wood construction using CLT (Cross Laminated Timber), Glulam (Glued Laminated Timber), and LVL (Laminated Veneer Lumber). Project execution is supported by BIM (3D Building Information Modeling) for design coordination and clash detection, in-house VOXS engineering, and an ecosystem of co-makers including RoosRos Architecten, RO&AD architecten, Oomen Architecten, Intec Installatietechniek, P. Jansen Installatietechniek, Cerfix Constructies, and timber suppliers Mayr-Melnhof Holz and Arcon Houtconstructies. Demonstrated projects include 1,200-2,600 m² buildings delivered in 7-34 weeks for clients such as Coöperatie Deltawind, Evos Rotterdam, Tronox, Bergh Brandveiligheid, De Jager Detachering, Stichting Titurel, and MCB Milieutechniek.

Commercially, Bergh Bouwsystemen runs an enterprise field-sales motion within the Netherlands, generating revenue via bespoke, quote-based, project-specific contracts billed over multi-year project lifecycles (design, permitting, construction, handover). Pricing is not publicly disclosed. The company markets through its website, project case studies, industry events (Houtdag, Houtwereld Praktijkdag, Bouwend Nederland), and earned-media awards, most notably the Nationale Houtbouw Prijs 2024 for the Energiehuis project with Coöperatie Deltawind. Leadership transitioned in January 2024, with Koen Haest taking over as Director from Erik van den Bergh, who now directs Bergh Bouwgroep. The company is privately held with no external investment disclosed.
