Everyone wants to live, work and travel in a healthy, safe environment. And that is what Heijmans builds on, both literally and figuratively. Our activities in Living, Working and Connecting help us contribute to a healthy living environment for people and nature.
We look at the bigger picture of our tasks from an end user's perspective: from idea to implementation and focusing on coherence, sustainability and social value. A broad combination of knowledge and craftsmanship allows us to offer complete solutions that fit today's complex issues.
Heijmans started life more than a hundred years ago as the family business of road builder Jan Heijmans. We have since grown to become a leading, listed company characterised by a pragmatic, can-do attitude and a strong social commitment. We only operate in the Netherlands. We have been listed on Euronext Amsterdam since 1993 and have borne the Royal designation with pride since 2023.
Living
Housing shortages, affordability, climate adaptation and biodiversity require integrated solutions. Heijmans develops, builds and makes neighbourhoods and homes more sustainable, with a focus on people, nature and affordability. Our activities cover the entire journey – from area to building developments, housing construction and renovation.
-
We create sustainable, social and future-proof living environments in partnership with governments, corporations and residents.
-
Our home designs combine speed and affordability with quality and variety.
-
We manufacture timber-framed houses with biobased materials in our CO2e-neutral factory in Heerenveen.
With the acquisition of Whoon (formerly Van Wanrooij) in 2023, Heijmans significantly expanded its residential development capacity. The Optio® concept plays an important role in accelerating the construction of affordable properties in suburban areas. As previously agreed, the family name Van Wanrooij was removed from the company name in 2025, with the company rebranded as Whoon. This change allows the unique strength of this conceptual residential building solution to remain visible on the market. In 2024, Heijmans acquired the construction and development company Van Gisbergen.
Working
We develop, build and maintain buildings in which people can work and live in a healthy, comfortable way – from hospitals and government buildings to data centres and offices. Our strength lies in the integrated approach to construction and installation technology, focused on sustainability, comfort and efficiency. We combine design, realisation and maintenance into smart, total solutions to make buildings fit for the future. Reusing materials and energy-efficient systems contribute to achieving a CO2e-neutral built environment by 2050.
Heijmans has owned Hegeman since late 2025. The acquisition enables Heijmans to strengthen its position in non-residential projects, services and conceptual construction.
Connecting
The Netherlands is calling for safe, sustainable and smart infrastructure. Within Connecting, we build and manage roads, bridges, tunnels, waterworks and energy systems. Our focus is shifting from new-builds to replacements and renovations, asset management and data-driven maintenance. We combine civil engineering, industrial automation and digital innovations to make infrastructure safer, more sustainable and more efficient.
-
In the area of water, we are working on improving dams, renovating and updating locks and dams, and responding to the effects of climate change.
-
Within energy, we support the energy transition through the construction and reinforcement of electricity grids, the development of district heating and cooling networks and heat pump systems, and the construction, renovation and expansion of high-voltage substations.
Together with our partners and clients, this is how we can build a Netherlands that is ready for the future.
