In addition to masonry and adhesive work, the company also provides grouting and supplies scaffolding. This allows it to offer a total package in the masonry field. At Europarei, StoneSkills processed sand-lime brick into interior walls.
It involved a total of two apartment buildings with 42 homes, commissioned by Heddes Bouw & Ontwikkeling. StoneSkills frequently works for this company. "As a result, the project ran very smoothly, despite circumstances beyond our control. During the project we had to deal with various weather conditions, so we added an extra crane. That way we could still meet the schedule. Together with Heddes, we solved this flexibly," says Berend Slink, director of StoneSkills.
In addition to residential construction, StoneSkills also does non-residential construction, working in North Holland and the Amsterdam region. Slink founded the company after learning the trade from his father, who is also a bricklayer. "My father is self-employed and works as a contractor for StoneSkills," he says. "My brother and several cousins also work for us. By now we have a staff of masons, sand-lime bricklayers and two carpenters for dimensional work and set work. On our staff we can literally build."
