Buijtenhuis Nijkerk B.V.

What Buijtenhuis Nijkerk B.V. does

Buijtenhuis Nijkerk B.V. is a Dutch civil-engineering and earthworks contractor headquartered in Nijkerk, Netherlands, operating since 1938 and currently under second-generation family ownership by Arjan, Robert, and Carola Buijtenhuis since 2011. The company delivers outdoor-space construction across five integrated service lines: Grondwerk (earthworks, site preparation, soil remediation), Infra (sewerage, paving, roadside maintenance, ice prevention, site development, mechanical weed control), Waterbouw (revetments, bank work, marinas, sluices, weirs, fish ladders), Natuurbouw (nature construction for ecologists and landscape architects), and Verreikerverhuur (reach stacker rental with operator). Its equipment fleet includes GPS and laser-guided excavators, an AP 3D level board controlled by Totalstation for precision surface leveling, and electric reach stackers up to 30 meters in height. The company is certified to ISO 9001, VCA** (highest safety level), the SKAO CO2 Prestatieladder, ErBo, and Cumela standards, and operates a sustainability-invested headquarters with 588 solar panels installed in 2022.

Revenue is generated through three primary mechanisms: (1) project contracting (aanneming) covering design, planning, and execution of earthworks, infrastructure, water-engineering, and nature-construction projects won through tender processes; (2) usage-based equipment rental of excavators, reach stackers, ground dumpers, and weed-control machines, optionally with skilled operators; and (3) construction-materials supply (sand, soil, gravel, crushed stone, drainage sand) at competitive prices driven by volume and short transport distances. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is provided on request.

Buijtenhuis serves construction companies and project developers (Dura Vermeer, Goldbeck Nederland, Hegeman Bouw & Infra), water boards and municipalities (Waterschap Vallei & Veluwe, Gemeente Nijkerk), nature-conservation organizations and private estates (Staatsbosbeheer, Natuurmonumenten, Stichting De Boom, Landgoed Den Treek-Henschoten), and water-sport associations. The company is regionally focused on Midden-Nederland (Central Netherlands), operates without external institutional investors, and has 11–50 employees.

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Heijmans N.V. Major Dutch construction and infrastructure company active across building, infrastructure, and civil works. Overlaps directly with Buijtenhuis on road construction, sewerage, site development, and earthworks for residential and commercial projects in the Netherlands.
• VolkerWessels: Large diversified Dutch construction group with infrastructure, housing, and civil engineering divisions. Competitively overlaps on road building, earthworks, water construction, and infrastructure maintenance — the same categories Buijtenhuis serves.
• Dura Vermeer: Dutch construction and infrastructure group directly engaging Buijtenhuis as a subcontractor on projects like Laakse Tuinen Vathorst and Appartementencomplex Laakse Kroon. Overlaps on civil earthworks, infrastructure, and site development.
• BAM Groep: Major Dutch construction firm with extensive civil engineering and infrastructure capabilities. Competes for similar public-sector tenders and serves water boards, municipalities, and developers across the Netherlands with overlapping service scopes.
• Koninklijke Boskalis Westminster N.V. Largest Dutch marine and heavy civil contractor. Operates at vastly larger scale than Buijtenhuis but performs overlapping work in earthworks, dredging, hydraulic engineering, and nature/civil infrastructure — often as the prime contractor that subcontracts regional portions to smaller firms like Buijtenhuis.

Direct peers

• Mourik: Dutch industrial services and civil contractor with similar mid-sized scale and service breadth (earthworks, infrastructure, environmental works). Directly comparable to Buijtenhuis on multi-disciplinary civil construction project delivery in the Netherlands.

Others

• Goldbeck Nederland: Customer rather than competitor — Goldbeck is a key client (Fiege Westzaan logistics center) that engages Buijtenhuis as earthworks subcontractor. Relevant as a demand-side peer showing where Buijtenhuis fits in the construction value chain.
• Cumela (branchevereniging): Dutch sector organization for mobile equipment contractors and earthmoving firms. Buijtenhuis holds Cumela certification, and Cumela member companies collectively represent the closest competitive cohort for equipment-rental and contract earthworks in the Netherlands.
