Driven by technology, we create leading-edge buildings. Designed for and by people. Based on expertise, creativity and reliability, we develop the best solutions right from the initial planning stage. From iconic residential towers to smart modular apartment blocks: Heddes creates buildings that stand the test of time and remain functional. With craftsmanship, excellent value for money and an eye for detail, we build high-quality new-builds, residential properties, commercial buildings and renovation projects. Always forward-thinking, always with a focus on the people who live, work and gather there.

We operate mainly in urban areas and have many projects in and around major cities such as Amsterdam, Almere and Utrecht.

Meet Niels Doodeman

Algemeen Directeur Heddes Bouw & Ontwikkeling

Niels has been with Heddes since 1990 and has held the position of Managing Director since the company became part of Ballast Nedam in 2011. In October 2023, Niels also joined the Executive Board of Ballast Nedam. In addition, he holds a board position on behalf of Ballast Nedam at Ursem Modulaire Bouwsystemen, which works closely with Heddes Bouw & Ontwikkeling.

‘Building with passion’ sums up Niels’ approach and conviction, in which the right market focus and collaboration are particularly important. Transparency and communication are essential for that collaboration. Niels puts it as ‘doing what you say and saying what you do’. It is partly his West-Friese heritage that makes Niels a down-to-earth go-getter, who is mad about building and loves his work, but is also a real family man.
