Half a century of expertise in precast construction

Exactly fifty years Bolckmans nv has been building for entrepreneurs. The company specializes in prefab construction. "The right choice for the realization of a company building," states commercial director Boni Voorhelst. "Staying sharp in a fluctuating market and seeing change as an opportunity and not a threat: that's Bolckmans."

"We mainly work with prefabricated structures in steel, wood, concrete or the combination thereof," says Voorhelst. "In doing so, our team of engineers and architects closely follows all building developments, both in terms of construction and sustainability. I'm talking about things like CO₂-neutrality, eco-efficiency, BREEAM, WELL, life-cycle costing, TCO and circularity."

"We invariably distinguish ourselves by our approach. The biggest savings in a construction project can be realized in the design phase. For example, we deploy our own architectural department to work with our client's architect in a construction team to arrive at the most optimal design. We call this our collaboration model. This process-based approach, worked out in a step-by-step plan, gives the client guarantees regarding budget and timing very early on."

Virtual reality

"We can also show each project to the building owner in virtual reality," Voorhelst emphasizes. "This spatial insight facilitates any changes and makes 'clashes' resolved on the screen in an instant. Resulting in a quasi-errorless realization." 

"In addition, we put two thousand years of construction experience to work to complete each project," Voorhelst concludes. "Also, the extremely low employee turnover creates confidence with our regular customers, who provide 70% of our sales annually. 

We have only one goal in mind and that is a satisfied customer - time after time and day in, day out. As a company, Bolckmans continues to choose clear communication with its customers and a pragmatic approach in these uncertain times. For the future, we remain hugely committed to sustainability, both within our own organization and on our projects."
