Buiting Advies BV

What Buiting Advies BV does

Buiting Advies BV is a privately held Dutch ecological consulting firm (BV) headquartered in the Netherlands, specializing in applied ecology, biodiversity enhancement, and green space management. Its service portfolio spans ecological advisory (inventories, flora and fauna assessments, quickscans under the Omgevingswet), urban ecology (Leefbare Stad), nature development and forest management planning, and field research services such as bat surveys and roadside vegetation inventories. The firm differentiates through a cross-disciplinary team of ecologists with expertise in GIS, forests, trees, climate adaptation, and nature legislation, supported by a broad network of collaboration partners including IVN Natuureducatie, De Enk, De Nieuwe wAarde, and Hogeschool Van Hall Larenstein.

The firm's technology backbone is Esri's ArcGIS platform, which is used to process ecological field data and deliver custom GIS viewers to clients; the firm is currently transitioning from ArcGIS AppBuilder to ArcGIS Experience Builder and has tested Reach RX GPS devices for precision field data collection. Buiting Advies earns revenue through project-based, quote-driven professional services engagements rather than productized or subscription pricing, with no public fee schedule disclosed.

The go-to-market is consultative and relationship-driven, targeting Dutch municipalities and provinces, project developers (Ballast Nedam, Dura Vermeer, SADC), housing corporations (Weller), golf courses (Royal Antwerp, Het Rijk van Nunspeet, Almeerderhout, Royal Keerbergen, Royal Latem), and select Belgian city governments. Marketing is conducted primarily through website content, project case studies, speaking engagements at events such as Natuurpro-dag, and partner referrals. The firm also maintains active engagement with education institutions (TU Delft, Erasmus University Rotterdam, Hogeschool Van Hall Larenstein) and cultural/heritage organizations (Nederlands Openluchtmuseum, Stichting Twickel), and has begun extending into the nature-inclusive construction vertical.
