Your builder in the city of Groningen

Heidstra Bouw regularly carries out projects in the city of Groningen. From a complete renovation of a historic building on the Gedempte Zuiderdiep to a major remodel on the Jacobstraat, we know the Groningen housing market and deliver craftsmanship.

The city of Groningen has a special and varied housing stock: historic canal houses in the centre, stately townhouses in Helpman and the Oosterpoort, post-war districts such as Paddepoel and Vinkhuizen, and modern new-builds in Meerstad and Reitdiep. Every type of home requires specific knowledge and its own approach, and we have both.

We are currently also building a large extension with roof renovation on the Nieuwstad, including three dormers and facade restoration. This project shows that we are the right partner for complex work in the city too. Plans outside the city? See builder in the province of Groningen.
