Hi, we're BESPARK

For 10 years, we have been designing, creating and building people centred workplaces that are both functional and connective. As a leading Design and Build company in Amsterdam, we draw inspiration from our clients and their unique spark.

With deep expertise in Project Management and General Contracting, we design and build efficiently without compromising on quality. Whether it concerns an office, commercial real estate, a laboratory or a heritage building.

The result? Future proof work environments that seamlessly combine innovation and brand identity. Workplaces that attract and inspire employees and elevate their productivity.

Our core values

We believe every project starts with a strong foundation. Not only in materials or construction, but in the values that shape how we collaborate. Our core values form the foundation of our culture and guide our everyday actions. They ensure that we build with a future focused mindset, for our clients and for each other.

Knowledge

We are specialists who continuously gain new insights and use that knowledge to create with lasting impact.

Passion

We are full of energy and turn that into action. We push our boundaries, bring ideas to life and take on every challenge.

Collaboration

We believe in the power of connection. By collaborating with trust as our foundation, we build sustainable relationships.

Having fun

A day without laughter is a day not worked. Enjoyment is not a bonus, it is our fuel.

Office in Amsterdam

Amsterdam is our home base. This is where everything and everyone comes together. The people, our ideas and the inspiration for colours and materials. Our office is located near Sloterdijk Station and from our workspace, which we naturally designed and furnished ourselves, we overlook the Houthavens.

Many of our clients are based in Amsterdam, but we carry out projects throughout the entire country.
