What Sens Bouw does

Sens Bouw is a privately held Dutch general contractor founded in 2007 and headquartered in Vlaardingen, Netherlands, serving the greater Rotterdam region (Rotterdam, Schiedam, Vlaardingen, Hillegersberg, Wassenaar, Capelle aan den IJssel, Rhoon, Den Haag and surrounding municipalities). The company provides residential and commercial construction services centered on verbouwen (renovations), including complete renovations, bathroom and toilet installations, ground-level extensions (aanbouw), roof expansions (opbouw), property maintenance (wood rot, concrete repair, painting, facade and roof), and damage repair (water, storm, structural) with insurance-claim support. Underlying capability spans foundation-to-roof expertise in masonry, wood, synthetic materials (Kunststof), and stucco, supplemented by in-house construction calculations, permit applications, and project coordination, plus collaboration with interior stylists and architects for full interior fit-out.

The business operates a sales-led model: prospective customers initiate contact via an online quote form, phone, or email; Sens Bouw then conducts an on-site visit to scope the work and issues a fixed-price, milestone-based quote (with optional BouwGarant Verbouwgarantie warranty). Customer segments include private individuals (the primary segment), businesses, property developers, homeowner associations (VvE), municipalities, and large commercial clients. Pricing is opaque and project-specific; for complex jobs, the company completes design, drawings, calculations, and permits before quoting.

Sens Bouw is independently owned with no disclosed external investors or parent company. It is a member of BouwGarant (the largest Dutch construction quality mark, requiring contractor diplomas, continuous CAR and AVB insurance, and demonstrable experience) and of Bouwend Nederland (the largest Dutch construction trade association of ~5,000 members). The firm employs 11-50 people and operates from a modern office at Energieweg 21F, Vlaardingen.
