Greenhouse Construction

We're not your typical Dutch greenhouse construction company

Building a greenhouse from start to finish, and further.

Your entire project under control with one contract, with one greenhouse construction company. We take care of the rest to ensure peace of mind for our clients so they can focus on taking their new turn-key greenhouse into use.

Building a greenhouse from foundation works to handover

As a turnkey greenhouse construction company from The Netherlands, we build greenhouses all over the world. In our internationally oriented industry, our working methods, tools and machinery, all have been fine-tuned in a way that we can build facilities as efficient as possible in almost any country. With a selected pool of subcontractors and supervisors, closely managed and facilitated by DutchGreenhouses®, our projects are certain to be on time and within budget.

Facilitating Construction

Our project execution phase begins at the drawing board. Small modifications during engineering can make a large difference on the construction site. The ease of construction always has to be kept in mind, in terms of workflow, skills required and installation time. Exactly for that reason, we involve our project managers and supervisors in every project as early as possible. To prevent errors, detailed components are preferably assembled or pre-fabricated in Dutch factories.

We also facilitate the greenhouse construction process on-site. With our solar-powered PortaCabins, the supervisors always have access to a proper workplace where they can access drawings, report and organise on-site meetings. Lockable, pre-equipped construction containers allow for safe and organised storage of materials and tools to ensure a working environment in which we can bring out the best of our construction crews. DutchGreenhouses® provides high-visibility clothing and other PPE equipment to create a safe, uniform and representative construction site.

Subcontractors & Supervisors

The foundation of a successful greenhouse project is not only the innovative design and quality materials but also the expertise involved in its construction. This is why we are proud to collaborate with highly experienced subcontractors and supervisors who are among the best in the industry.

Subcontracting

Our Dutch subcontractors have years of hands-on experience in greenhouse construction projects, from foundation to automation, providing an unparalleled combination of skill, precision, and dedication to every project.

Investing in their own equipment reflects their commitment to delivering the highest standards of workmanship. Whether it is cutting-edge technology for climate control or custom-built machinery for the assembly of the glass roof, our subcontractors come fully prepared. If our subcontractors build the greenhouse, it not only expedites the construction process but it also guarantees long-lasting durability and attention for detail.

Skilled Supervision

Besides our subcontractors, we also have a motivated pool of construction supervisors. Whether they supervise, coordinate or inspect the works of our subcontractors or local construction crews, our supervisors ensure everything is built and installed correctly according to DutchGreenhouses® standards and that HSE rules are followed. By reporting on a daily basis, we can anticipate and act on events immediately allowing for a safe construction site and keeping the project within budget and on time.

Health & Safety

Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) cannot be ignored on any construction site nowadays. DutchGreenhouses® has invested time and experience in fabricating a complete construction methodology statement and HSE safety manual to ensure tasks are executed to our safety standards, workers, supervisors, and subcontractors alike. As we build greenhouses in many different countries, we know how to adapt to local Health & Safety rules and regulations.

FAQ

Below are the most frequently asked questions about construction and installation of a greenhouse.

How long does it take to build a turnkey greenhouse?

The on-site construction, from mobilisation to project hand-over takes ± 9 months. From signing the contract to handover takes ± 1 year.

Why are Dutch greenhouses constructed so quickly and efficiently?

During engineering, the construction process is always kept in mind. Dedicated construction teams have fine-tuned their methodology, tools and machinery to get the job done quickly and efficiently.

Are Dutch greenhouses entirely pre-fabricated?

Almost! The greenhouse itself is complete pre-fabbed and requires only bolts, nuts and screws. Bulky systems like buffertanks and pipelines typically do require on-site welding.

Is building a greenhouse safe?

Yes! When organised and controlled properly according to international Health & Safety standards, the construction of a greenhouse is safe.
