What Boerhof Projectinrichters does

Boerhof Projectinrichters is a Dutch family-owned commercial interior design and installation firm headquartered in Heeten, Overijssel, Netherlands. Founded in 1973 by John Boerhof with four rolls of carpet, the company has grown into a full-service project interior outfitting provider serving healthcare, education, corporate, and government/institutional clients across the Netherlands. The company is now led by Kristel Leerkes-Boerhof as director and owner, with a workforce of approximately 30-40 people organized around five core service lines: Totaalinrichting (total interior outfitting), Vloeren (flooring), Raambekleding (window treatments), Meubilair (furniture), and Ontwerp (design), supported by maintenance and repair services.

The company's core technology and operational capabilities center on sustainable and circular interior solutions, including integration with partner-made products such as Studio Wae circular carpet tiles (from production waste), Desso Airmaster, and Interface flooring systems. Its proprietary approaches include a Social Return Plan framework for public procurement tenders, a Systematic Circular Return Process using swimlane diagrams and Lean Muda methodology, and the Cube it Simple / Cube XL packaging system developed with UZIN. The company maintains ISO 9001 and VCA certifications and holds SBB Erkend Leerbedrijf status for training apprentices.

The business model is project-based professional services with a quote-driven, direct enterprise field sales motion. Revenue is generated through three streams: project interior design and installation (professional services), product sales of flooring, furniture, and window treatments, and recurring maintenance and repair contracts. The go-to-market combines direct sales to facility managers, business owners, and procurement departments with active participation in Dutch public tenders (aanbestedingen), where the company leverages its sustainability credentials and social return obligations (approximately €100k annually) to win institutional contracts. Customer concentration spans notable anchors including Tilburg University, SVB (multiple projects), Deventer Ziekenhuis, and Paleis Het Loo, with no disclosed external funding, M&A activity, or geographic expansion beyond the Netherlands.
