Building a Smarter, Greener Future

As builders, we can accelerate the transition to a sustainable world. That’s why we build innovative and sustainable buildings for a smarter, greener future. Our employees are indispensable in this effort. Together, we create a workplace where everyone can reach their full potential.

A Focus on Future Generations

For a family-owned business with a history dating back more than 90 years, it stands to reason that we have an eye toward future generations. Cordeel’s mission is: By building with trust, we accelerate the transition to a sustainable world for future generations.

How do we put that into practice? It comes down to efforts—both big and small—to make our work smarter, faster, and more environmentally friendly. But it also involves surprising innovations with potentially far-reaching consequences. We want to set an example for the construction sector and encourage other companies to work together to build a sustainable world for future generations.

Our Core Values

6 Core Beliefs That Unite Us

Together, we're smarter

By combining our individual skills and working together, we find the best solutions for our customers.

Transparency Builds Trust

By being open and honest about our business activities and results, we keep our employees, customers, and stakeholders engaged.

Getting Better Every Day

By challenging ourselves every day to do just a little better, we help our people, our planet, and our customers thrive.

Focus on Acceleration

By working faster, smarter, and with focus, we can deliver excellent and rapid results and become the partner of choice for sustainable construction.

Take on the problem

By taking ownership of every situation, we give ourselves the opportunity to learn and innovate. In doing so, we focus on what is possible and figure out how.

“Can’t” doesn’t exist

By building the future with an open mind and a passion for innovation, we find solutions to even the toughest challenges.

A Focus on Our Customers

We build future-proof buildings and structures for both businesses and government agencies. Together with our clients, we’re working toward a smarter, greener future. As a builder that remains committed even after completion, we focus on client satisfaction and the long term.

Thanks to our long-standing relationships with our clients, we have gained extensive experience with construction projects in the following sectors:

  • Non-residential construction: education, sports, healthcare, as well as offices and parking garages
  • Energy transition: buildings along utility corridors
  • Light industrial: pharmaceuticals and medical technology, food and packaging industries, high-tech machinery manufacturing, (high-tech) machinery manufacturing, defense and shipbuilding
  • Process and manufacturing industries (heavy industry), civil engineering, and apartment construction

 

A Focus on Our Projects

For us as a design-and-build contractor, an integrated, team-based approach is only natural. A strong partnership between architect, contractor, and client forms the foundation of every successful project. And that starts right at the drawing board. During construction, we are strongly committed to innovation, the use of sustainable materials, and a healthy, zero-emission construction site.

We Work Safely

Our dedicated safety department ensures that the incident-free execution of every project receives the attention it deserves. Safety is never complete, which is why we continuously invest in it.

  • VCA-P certified (petrochemicals, the strictest safety category)
  • All employees hold the VCA certification required for their position
  • We carefully select subcontractors based on their certifications and safety record.
  • Our goal: LTIR = 0—zero lost-time injuries.

You get what you asked for

We think flexibly alongside our clients and deliver a project that meets all requirements and wishes—on time and within budget. We carefully ensure quality and closely manage risks.

  • An independent QA/QC department oversees all work
  • Each project has a specific quality plan with a risk analysis
  • We utilize well-thought-out test and inspection plans
  • Hold points for quality inspections are integrated into the construction process
  • Our goal: NCR = 0, meaning zero identified defects or deviations upon delivery.

We’re on time—or even faster

Our speed isn’t a coincidence—it’s the result of focus, in-house production, BIM, prefabrication, and process control.

  • Speed and flexibility thanks to engineering, production facilities, and equipment services all under one roof
  • Digital 3D models (BIM) make the construction process faster, more flexible, and less prone to errors
  • Our expertise in precast concrete means faster construction and shorter project timelines

A deal is a deal

Thanks to our focus on quality, safety, and process control—combined with our speed and flexibility—our customers can rely on us completely: we always honor our commitments.

  • We are open and transparent about our business activities and results
  • We evaluate the work, conduct pre-inspections, and monitor customer satisfaction upon delivery
  • We involve colleagues, subcontractors, and suppliers in our policies
