Huisman & Van Muijen

What Huisman & Van Muijen does

Huisman & Van Muijen (HVM) is a privately held Dutch installation advisory firm headquartered in 's-Hertogenbosch, Netherlands, founded in 1937 and operating under a four-person directie. The firm provides specialist consultancy on building installations for technically demanding environments — museums, hospitals, schools, government buildings, high-tech industrial facilities, hotels, and complex residential — covering climate/HVAC, electrical, lighting, communication, transport, security, commissioning, and sustainability services. Its client base includes Dutch cultural-heritage anchors such as the Van Gogh Museum, NEMO Science Museum, Naturalis Biodiversity Center, and Museum Catharijneconvent, alongside healthcare (VUmc), industrial (Thermo Fisher Scientific, CCL-label), education, and municipal-government clients.

The technical platform rests on building physics engineering, integrated BIM/3D design (in which HVM was among the first Dutch installation advisors to go fully digital, starting with Forum Groningen), and certification-grade expertise in BENG (NTA 8800), BREEAM (via DGBC), and BRL 6000-21 / BRL 9500 energy performance standards. The product portfolio is delivered as a set of advisory modules — Installatieadvies, BENG, BIM/3D, BREEAM, Commissioning, Communicatie, Duurzaamheid, Energielabels, Klimaat, Licht, Transport, Veiligheid — sold on a project basis through direct enterprise engagement with owners, architects, and construction teams from early design through commissioning. No API, software product, or subscription/SaaS component is disclosed.

The business model is fee-for-service professional advisory on a project-quote basis, with go-to-market centered on direct relationships with architects (notably BiermanHenket), public clients, and repeat institutional mandates. The firm is internally owned by the four directors, has no external investors or parent company, operates from a single office, and is geographically concentrated in the Netherlands with selected projects in Belgium and Germany. Channel presence is limited to its own website (hvm.nl), LinkedIn, Facebook, YouTube, and earned-media/PR around project announcements.
