For over 140 years we have been exploring new ways of creating landmarks for a better living environment. These are small-scale local projects or large infrastructure works and complex high-rise buildings. Just around the corner, in the city centre or abroad. We believe that the way to build a sustainable and growing business is to continuously challenge ourselves to improve. Every day. To improve the quality of our work and the solutions we offer. To improve the added value we create for our clients and to challenge ourselves to increase the wellbeing of the environments in which we operate. We see the Dutch construction market as a challenging market in many ways. Large infrastructure and building projects often deal with risks that are challenging to manage. Regional markets require a very dedicated local approach to service our clients optimally. Attracting the right talent is critical to all our activities. And the transition to a more sustainable society requires changes in every aspect of our business and beyond. With the added value of our international parent organisation Rönesans Holding and the commitment of our professional and passionate people, we are in the position to take on these challenges now more than ever. We work with dedicated teams that fully focus on their markets and clients. It enables us to act with the agility of a local player and the strength of a large construction company. Moreover, we can adapt the best practices of our international experience and bring our unique Dutch capabilities to the international market in reverse. We are Ballast Nedam, we challenge to improve. We cultivate our specific mindset: we question, find unique solutions and change things until we achieve the desired results.
