TBI Hazenberg Bouw

About Hazenberg

Hazenberg is a Dutch developing contractor - an ontwikkelende bouwer - and part of the TBI group, one of the Netherlands' major technical and construction groups. Rather than acting purely as a builder taking instructions from a developer, Hazenberg originates, develops, builds and upgrades homes and buildings itself. Its stated purpose is to create pleasant living environments that connect building, people and nature, and to raise the quality of life of the people who live in them.

Three Core Activities

Development (Ontwikkelen)

The company develops residential and mixed-use schemes from concept through to delivery, taking positions on land and shaping the brief rather than inheriting it. Projects such as Onze Tuinen in Roosendaal show this development-led model in practice.

Construction (Bouwen)

Hazenberg builds new apartments and buildings across the southern Netherlands, with recent projects including Arbor in Nijmegen and Poort van Stappegoor in Tilburg.

Renovation and Sustainability Upgrades (Verduurzamen)

A dedicated strand of work focuses on renovating and decarbonising existing housing stock - for example the Redemptoristenstraat project in Tilburg. In a country with an ageing housing stock and binding national climate targets, retrofit is now as commercially significant as new build.

Sustainability Focus

Sustainability sits at the centre of the business rather than at its margins. The company reports a very high proportion of sustainable concrete in its work - a meaningful commitment, since concrete accounts for a large share of the embodied carbon in Dutch residential construction. Alongside material choices, Hazenberg pursues future-proof buildings through construction innovation, aiming to contribute to a healthier world for present and future generations.

Guiding Principles

Four course-setting themes guide the practice, beginning with the idea of a strong society: communities are not built from bricks but from social structures and the connections between people and their surroundings. That framing explains the firm's emphasis on neighbourhood quality, shared space and long-term liveability rather than unit counts alone.

Approach

Hazenberg describes itself as creative, entrepreneurial and driven, drawing on proven natural principles where useful while remaining curious about new applications and innovations. Its stated greatest strength is looking beyond the client's immediate question to the underlying need - a consultative posture unusual among contractors.

Part of TBI

Membership of the TBI group gives Hazenberg access to sister companies across construction, installation technology and infrastructure, alongside the financial stability of a large parent. For clients, that means a regional builder's proximity combined with group-level technical resources.

Market Position

Hazenberg competes in the Dutch residential and mixed-use market as an integrated developer-builder with genuine sustainability credentials. In a market where housing delivery targets and nitrogen and carbon regulation now shape what can be permitted, that combination of development capability and low-carbon construction expertise is a strong position.

Why AEC Teams Should Know Hazenberg

For teams tracking European housing delivery, retrofit at scale or low-carbon concrete adoption, Hazenberg is a useful example of how a mid-sized contractor can integrate development, construction and decarbonisation across the built environment.
