Royal BAM Group nv (Dutch: Koninklijke BAM Groep nv) is a Dutch construction-services business with headquarters in Bunnik, Netherlands. It is the largest construction company based on revenue in the Netherlands.[2]

History[]

The company was founded by Adam van der Wal as a joiner's shop in 1869.[3] It was renamed Bataafsche Aanneming Maatschappij van Bouw- en Betonwerken ('BAM') in 1927 and expanded through acquisition buying Interbuild in 1998,[4] NBM-Amstelland in 2000[5] and Hollandsche Beton Groep in 2002.[6]

In July 2020, Royal BAM announced it was winding down its 600-strong BAM International business, blaming the COVID-19 pandemic for mounting losses.[7] Up to 150 jobs would also be cut at BAM Construct UK.[8]
