What burgy bouwbedrijf does

Burgy Bouwbedrijf is a Dutch specialist restoration construction company founded in 1932 by Kasper Burgy senior and now in its third generation of family ownership. Headquartered in Leiden with a certified in-house carpentry workshop, the firm restores, renovates, and improves the sustainability of national monuments, historic government buildings, churches, almshouses, and heritage museums across the Randstad region. Marquee reference projects include the Binnenhof — Eerste Kamer en Raad van State (with Heijmans, 10,334 m²), Museum Prinsenhof Delft (6,869 m²), and Magazijn De Zon in Utrecht (8,650 m²), among others.

The company's core offering is project-based specialist restoration contracting, combining traditional craftsmanship (carpentry, masonry) with modern techniques such as BIM-360-based project documentation, zero-emission construction-site logistics, and historic-canal-cellar restoration in sensitive urban settings. A distinctive internal asset is the Burgy Vakschool, an in-house vocational training institute that delivers accredited restoration electives in partnership with MBO Rijnland Leiden, providing a controlled pipeline of qualified restoration tradespeople.

Revenue is generated through fixed-price contracts awarded via public tenders, direct invitations, and selective bidding, primarily to Dutch government bodies (Rijksvastgoedbedrijf, municipalities) and cultural institutions (museums, foundations). The company holds the Erkend Restauratie Bouwbedrijf accreditation alongside ISO 9001, ISO 14001, VCA, BRL, CO2-Prestatieladder, and Veiligheidsladder Level 3 certifications, which together function as tender prerequisites. In July 2026, Burgy expanded its service envelope by acquiring Bernard Schulte Technisch Installatiebedrijf (Voorhout), a long-time collaborator providing technical installation (HVAC, plumbing, climate control, roofing), thereby moving toward integrated construction-and-installation delivery for complex heritage projects.
