Who we are

History

STEP Engineering was founded in 2008 in Emmen and grown into a versatile engineering firm with a strong base in architectural and industry related projects.

In 2010, STEP Engineering acquired the renowned firm BSH. This acquisition marked a significant expansion of our expertise and markets, and also marked the beginning of our activities in the timber engineering. Since then, we have become a specialist in timber construction projects, including CLT (Cross Laminated Timber) structures.

In 2020, we opened a second branch in Groningen, which further strengthened our presence in the northern Netherlands and allowed us to continue our growth.

Over the years, we have worked on numerous national and international projects, including in France (Les Bois Francs), Belgium (Diksmuide), Germany (Frankfurt), Switzerland (Lonza), China (Changzhou) and even at a Beach house in the Bahamas.

Our development shows a clear line: from structural engineering firm with industrial roots to become an expert in innovative and sustainable timber construction. Today, we combine technical depth with future-oriented knowledge for projects that are ready for tomorrow's challenges.

We believe in continuous growth - both of our organisation and of the people who are part of it. To continually renew our knowledge, we are affiliated with VHC, VNconstructeurs and KPCV.

Mission

Unburdening clients

Vision

“STEP Engineering delivers engineering according to your expectations”.”
We believe that true added value is created when knowledge, experience and cooperation come together. That is why we focus on sustainable timber structures and functional industrial construction, where innovation, quality and responsibility are always leading.


Within our organisation, disciplines reinforce each other. In Architecture, project managers and project engineers work closely together to structure projects clearly and supervise them smoothly. In Structures, structural engineers and modellers combine their expertise to develop safe, efficient and well-considered structural solutions.


Through this integrated approach, we deliver complete, future-proof project solutions. This is how we - together with our clients - build sustainable, reliable partnerships in which mutual trust and development are central.

Core values

‘Respect, social, fun, appreciation’

Career development - One STEP ahead

Besides technical services, STEP Engineering also invests in its employees' careers, including through personal development plans (PDP).

Going down roads that someone hasn't thought of themselves yet, a STEP aside!

Career development and personal development plans can include offering employees new challenges. We can also train employees internally by starting an individual pathway, with the aim of taking the next inspiring STEP in his or her career.

Our challenge is to bring out the best in people. The next STEP!
