What M.b.m. Investment B.v. does

MBM Bouwkosten BV (legally M.b.m. Investment B.v.) is a Dutch construction cost advisory firm founded in 1991 in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Originally established as Moerkerken Broekzitter Bouwkostenmanagement, the firm specializes in building cost consulting across all phases of plan development, including budgeting, construction cost estimation, price analysis, second opinions, procurement advice, feasibility studies, quick-scans, land value calculations, exploitation cost setups, price indexation, and market development tracking. Projects span new construction, renovation, and maintenance, ranging from small-scale urban to large-scale development-area work. Target clients are professional developers, real estate managers, government agencies, and architectural firms operating in the Netherlands across residential housing (social and market), student housing, commercial spaces, healthcare facilities, schools, sports halls, and adaptive reuse projects.

The firm operates as one half of a two-entity structure alongside its sister company MBM Systems BV, which developed and maintains the proprietary Budsys online budgeting model. Budsys translates subdivision structures into construction costs, associated costs, foundation costs, residual land values, and multi-year maintenance budgets, with specifications rendered at NL-SfB detail level. The platform is used by governments, architects, developers, housing corporations, construction advisors, and contractors for their own estimation work and mutual pricing, indicating both internal and external use of the technology.

The business model combines professional services revenue (quote-based, multi-year advisory engagements tailored to project scope) with software/tool licensing revenue via MBM Systems BV. Go-to-market is sales-led and direct: the firm engages enterprise and public-sector clients through phone, email, website inquiry, and in-person consultation. With approximately six professionals on staff, including Director Ron Melis, Construction Cost Expert Julius Broekzitter, Cost Advisor Stefan de Jong, and team members Lazlo Moerkerken, Casper Mouissie, and Nout Huijs, the firm operates as a small, founder/owner-led specialist practice without disclosed external investors or PE ownership.
