Restoring pride and safety to the region

Commissioned by the architect and in close collaboration with the National Coordinator Groningen (NCG), we are responsible for the structural core of this project.

Our role in this process is twofold:

Structural calculations: With great precision, we calculate the forces acting on the building. Safety and durability are central, ensuring the future residents can rely on the farmhouse for decades to come.

Detailed engineering: Every truss, beam and foundation detail is carefully worked out by our team. We do not do this in isolation. Successful construction in this area requires a strong partnership between the architect’s creative design, the NCG framework and the contractor’s practical expertise. Through this intensive collaboration, we ensure the technical design translates seamlessly into the reality on site.

In Siddeburen, we are not only building a new farmhouse, but also helping restore a sense of pride and safety in the region.
