What Roelofsen Machineverhuur & Grondwerken BV does

Roelofsen Machineverhuur & Grondwerken BV is a family-owned Dutch construction and equipment rental company headquartered in Zuidschermer, in the Noord-Holland Schermerpolder region between Alkmaar and Purmerend. Founded circa 1999, the company delivers an integrated portfolio of six core services — demolition (sloopwerken), earthworks (grondwerken), road verge and waterway maintenance (onderhoud wegbermen en waterlopen), hydraulic engineering (waterbouwkundig werk), earthmoving equipment rental (verhuur grondverzetmachines), and dredging works (baggerwerken) — using owned machinery operated by in-house personnel. The customer base spans Dutch municipalities, provinces, water boards, nature organizations, fellow contractors, marina owners, and agricultural landowners, with the company acting in either subcontractor or project-lead capacity.

The business operates on a dual revenue model comprising usage-based equipment rental and project-based civil engineering services, with pricing structured on a quote-by-project basis and no publicly disclosed rates. Go-to-market is sales-led and direct, focused on the Noord-Holland Schermerpolder geography with no claimed global footprint. Marketing is limited to a corporate website and a Facebook page, with no app, no public API, and no disclosed digital channel beyond standard web presence.

The company maintains a regulatory and quality infrastructure relevant to Dutch public-sector tendering, including VCA* (safety/health/environment), ISO 9001:2015 (quality management), CO2 Prestatieladder Niveau 5 (the highest tier of the Dutch sustainability ladder, achieved in February 2021), a NIWO Euro vergunning (professional goods transport license), and VIHB registration as a permitted waste transporter/collector/trader/broker. It is also an SBB-recognized training company across five disciplines, building a localized operator talent pipeline.

Scale indicators2 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Boels Rental: Largest equipment-rental company in the Netherlands and broader Europe, offering excavators and earthmoving machinery for hire. Comparable as a direct rental competitor for earthmoving assets, though at much larger national scale across many categories beyond Roelofsen's specialist fleet.
• Koninklijke Boskalis Westminster (Boskalis): Large Dutch dredging and marine contractor with global operations. Comparable only at the dredging (baggerwerken) and water construction level, but at vastly larger scale — useful as a strategic ceiling reference for how specialized water/dredging services scale up.

Direct peers

• G. van der Ven: Dutch mid-sized civil contractor active in earthworks, infrastructure, and water-related construction. Comparable as a similarly-sized regional Dutch contractor competing for the same gemeenten, provincies, and waterschappen tenders.
• Mateco: Dutch equipment-rental specialist with strong coverage of construction and earthmoving machinery. Comparable as a same-country, same-segment rental competitor that contractors in Noord-Holland can choose between when sourcing excavators and cranes.
• Van der Spek: Dutch heavy earthmoving equipment dealer and rental provider for brands like Hitachi and Liebherr. Comparable as a same-country supplier/distributor of earthmoving machinery that competes with Roelofsen's rental offering for construction and civil customers.
• Mourik: Dutch industrial services and civil contractor with activities in earthworks, environmental works, and infrastructure. Comparable as a Dutch contracting peer executing similar earthworks and water-related scopes, with similar customer base across public-sector tenders.
• De Boer Waterbouw: Dutch water construction contractor focused on hydraulic engineering, dike works, and waterway construction. Comparable as a direct peer in Roelofsen's waterbouwkundig werk and dredging service lines, serving similar waterschappen and gemeenten clients.
• Hakkers: Dutch water construction and dredging contractor specialized in hydraulic engineering and waterway works. Comparable as a direct peer in dredging, waterway maintenance, and hydraulic engineering — overlapping with Roelofsen's waterbouwkundig werk and baggerwerken services.

Regional players

• Aannemingsbedrijf Damsteegt: Dutch mid-sized civil contractor in earthworks and water-related infrastructure. Comparable in scale and service mix to Roelofsen, though operating in a different Dutch region, serving as a reference for how similarly-sized regional contractors compete in this market.

Others

• Cumela Nederland: Dutch trade association for earthmoving, drilling, and agricultural contracting firms. Comparable not as a competitor but as the industry's governing body that issues the VCA* certification Roelofsen holds — a key peer-context reference for compliance and procurement dynamics in the sector.
