Revenue model

1. Demolition and excavation services: Laarakkers generates revenue through project-based fees for demolition (total demolition, renovation demolition), excavation, earthworks, soil remediation, asbestos removal, and infrastructure projects (bridges, energy plants, industrial installations). Projects range from small residential demolitions to major infrastructure projects worth hundreds of thousands of euros. Revenue is earned on a per-project basis with pricing quoted based on scope, scale, and complexity.
2. Weighbridge and materials processing: Laarakkers operates a weighbridge at its Sambeek facility where customers can deposit construction and demolition waste and purchase recycled materials (sand, gravel, concrete aggregate, topsoil). Revenue is generated per tonne of material deposited and per unit of material sold.
3. Transport and logistics (via Wim Martens Logistics): Cross-border tipping truck transport of sand, gravel, crushed stone, mixed aggregate, and recycling materials across the Netherlands, Germany, and Belgium, serving both Laarakkers' own projects and external customers.
