A New Standard in Construction and Hospitality

When you think of a construction company, you're propably thinking about efficiency, precision and tight scheduling. However, at Bulsink, you get much more than that! This family business, active since 1928, offers its customers expertise in retail, office and hospitality projects and elevates hospitality and service to an unprecedented level. 

"We are not your typical general contractor," says commercial director Debbie Melis. "For us, it's not just about construction itself, but also about the experience we provide to our clients and employees. We aim to break the traditional image of a construction company. Our building here at Ekkersrijt, from the guest parking lot to the stylish restaurant with a sky bar on the top floor, is fully designed for six-star hospitality."

Brabant hospitality is in our DNA, and we combine that with a professional yet personal approach.

Hospitality from the first moment

The part about the parking lot is no joke. As soon as you step out of your car, you hear music, and your name is projected as a greeting. This immediately sets the tone. Upon entering, you are warmly welcomed by a hostess who offers you coffee or tea along with a delicious traditional Brabant sausage roll. "We want everyone to feel at home here right away," Debbie explains. "Brabant hospitality is in our DNA, and we combine that with a professional yet personal approach."

Design and functionality in perfect harmony

The Bulsink building is more than just an office; it uniquely combines design and functionality. Each floor has its own decor, and there are coffee corners for informal meetings. Debbie emphasizes: "Our people are our greatest asset, and we take good care of them. We offer relaxation options like table football and a pool table, and a healthy lunch with fresh fruit every day. The result? Lower absenteeism, and despite the tight labor market, we have no trouble attracting new talent. People enjoy working here."

We customize the menu to suit Bulsink's guests and even encourage employees to share their ideas for new dishes.

A culinary experience with Gülnur Nielen

A key part of the six-star experience at Bulsink is the culinary offering. On the top floor, Gülnur Nielen from Pure Food & Pure Taste runs the restaurant, where fresh and healthy dishes are prepared daily. "I'm very happy with Bulsink as a partner," Gülnur enthusiastically shares. "My team and I work with pure and honest ingredients. We customize the menu to suit Bulsink's guests and even encourage employees to share their ideas for new dishes. (laughs) And yes, we do have the occasional 'croquette day' here."

From small family business to impactful player

What started as a small family business has grown into an internationally active general contractor with branches in the Netherlands, Germany, and France, and projects in many more countries. With clients like Rituals and My Jewellery, Bulsink shows it can work with top brands. What sets the company apart from others in the construction sector is its full service to clients. "We offer a turnkey service," Debbie explains. "From the initial design to the final delivery, we take the lead and ensure the project is successfully completed and fully ready for use. We are agile, determined, and always think along with the client."

Building according to the B.U.I.L.D. values

The key to Bulsink's success lies in its own B.U.I.L.D. values: Brand-conscious, Ultra-fast, Inspiring, Leading, and Determined. These values form the core of their approach. The company not only builds physical structures but also builds its clients' brands. Quickly and without compromising on quality. "We are determined to make every project, no matter how challenging, a success," says Debbie. "You're in good hands with us."
