In which sectors of construction is ZeeBoer active?
ZeeBoer works for suppliers in the areas of building construction, civil engineering and installation. Some of our customers are also active in the retail trade (do-it-yourself). In some industries we have many, sometimes even all major manufacturers in our portfolio. Examples include roofing, concrete elements, insulation, paint industry, synthetic adhesives and coatings, tile adhesives and mortars, asphalt reinforcement and exterior decoration.
Is ZeeBoer a marketing agency?
If you would call us a marketing agency, then we are a very special agency. The Utopis team combines three different qualities:
- We are product data specialists. Centrally managing data and exchanging it with other software or databases is what we do.
- We have developed our own software for this. Why? Because there was nothing there when we started.
- We only work for construction. That's what we studied for. So we know which information is best for your target group.
When creating our tools, in addition to the software (back-end), we often also take care of the layout (front-end). Of course we will coordinate this with you. So let your own advertising agency do what they are good at and we will provide the right database and software.
Since when is ZeeBoer active?
Since 1984. In the first instance, Reindert de Boer and Ok van Megchelen started under the name "De Boer van Megchelen Bouwinformatiemanagement". In 1997, ZeeBoer became the new company name. Read more about our company here.
Where is Utopis hosted?
Our servers are hosted by CSN Group, part of Interstellar, and are located in Schiphol-Rijk and Enschede. Both of these places have traditionally formed the backbone of the Internet. The way in which your website or online tool is linked to the internet is highly dependent on the data center. CSN understands this art and works for many major parties in the Netherlands and the rest of the world.
What is the relationship between ZeeBoer and Bouwspex?
Bouwspex.nl is an online platform on which tender and construction specifications of building manufacturers and suppliers can be found quickly. ZeeBoer maintains the platform. A basic entry is added free of charge. Before 2019 the website was called Bestekservices.nl. ZeeBoer maintains Bouwspex on the basis of data from STABU and KOMO, specifications and BIM tools supplied by ZeeBoer and also third-party tools are added. Visit Bouwspex.nl.
What can ZeeBoer mean to me?
Curious as to what ZeeBoer can do for you as a manufacturer or supplier in the construction sector? ZeeBoer helps more than 100 manufacturers with the distribution of product information, specifications, specification texts and BIM data.
During an introductory meeting we discuss, without obligation of course, the solutions that you offer for construction. In what way do you now distribute product information? Does a prescriber, architect, specifications writer or BIM modeller know where to find you?

Are STABU and ZeeBoer competitors?
Many people think that STABU and ZeeBoer are competitors. That in itself is understandable, because Stichting Ketenstandaard (Dutch for Chain Standardization), the organization that manages the STABU standard, has two focus areas.
Ketenstandaard's core business is the promotion, improvement and maintenance of standards such as STABU2, ETIM and DICO. Just like other construction partners, ZeeBoer uses these standards. The right to exist of Ketenstandaard and STABU is therefore evident to us.
However, Ketenstandaard also advises manufacturers on specifications. Something she has in common with ZeeBoer and other commercial parties. Manufacturers have to deal with many standards, each of which requires a financial contribution and effort. After all, non-profit parties also have a revenue model. Although Ketenstandaard therefore acts as both the keeper of the STABU standard and its operator, ZeeBoer believes that manufacturers can make sufficient choices when distributing their product data.
If you want to know more about the different interests, standards and parties in the construction industry, we will gladly explain our vision to you without obligation! Make an appointment with us quickly.
