IMd Raadgevende Ingenieurs

What IMd Raadgevende Ingenieurs does

IMd Raadgevende Ingenieurs B.V. is a Dutch structural engineering consultancy founded in 1960 and headquartered in Rotterdam. The firm employs approximately 60 structural designers, constructors, BIM modelers, and administrative staff under four directors (Paul Korthagen, Pim Peters, Remko Wiltjer, Rob Stark). Its core service is constructief ontwerpen — structural design and consultancy for building projects across the Netherlands — operating across six specialized expertise areas: sustainable construction, wood/timber construction, high-rise, reuse/circular construction, innovative parametric construction, and forensic structural engineering. Notable projects include the Depot Boijmans Van Beuningen, the Fenix museum, the Rabobank Campus Utrecht (hybrid timber, 86,000 m²), Liander Westpoort (timber, 21,000 m²), and the Koningin Julianaplein development in Den Haag (two 90m towers).

The firm operates a project-based professional services model, billing engineering fees to developers, architects, contractors, and government clients through direct engagement and tender processes. Its technical differentiation rests on pioneering the donor skeleton (donorskelet) methodology for circular construction since 2012, contributing to national standards NTA 8713 (reuse of structural steel) and NTA 8970 (periodic structural safety assessment), and developing proprietary parametric tools DIVA and SteelIT for optimizing donor material placement. The firm holds ISO 14001:2015 environmental certification and is the only Dutch engineering firm participating in the EU Horizon 2020 ReCreate consortium on damage-free dismantling of prefabricated concrete. Its go-to-market is sales-led, with project visibility generated through award-winning showcases (Berlagevaan 2025, NRP Gulden Feniks 2025), publications in industry journals (Cement, Bouwen met Staal, Het Houtblad), and consortium-based thought leadership. The firm is privately held as a Dutch B.V., with no disclosed funding rounds, parent company, or external equity ownership.

Core offering

IMd Raadgevende Ingenieurs delivers structural engineering design, calculation, and consultancy services for building projects across the Netherlands, serving developers, architects, contractors, and government clients. The practice spans residential, commercial, cultural, healthcare, educational, and civic buildings, with specialist expertise in sustainable construction, timber and hybrid structures, high-rise engineering, reuse and circular construction (including the donor skeleton methodology), innovative parametric design, and forensic structural engineering.

Product overview

IMd Raadgevende Ingenieurs is a Rotterdam-based structural engineering consulting firm offering comprehensive consulting services through specialized expertise areas. The core offering is structural engineering consulting (constructief ontwerpen) complemented by six specialized service lines: Duurzaam Construeren (sustainable construction with MPG calculations), Houtconstructies (wood/CLT construction), Hoogbouw (high-rise engineering), Hergebruik (circular reuse including donor skeleton concepts), Innovatief Construeren (parametric/innovative design), and Forensics (structural damage investigation). Supporting these services are proprietary tools including DIVA and SteelIT for automated analysis of donor materials and environmental impact in circular construction projects.
