Direct lines of communication, quick turnaround 
10 July 2026
Who are we?
Buro Antares is a medium-sized consulting and engineering firm specializing in soil, water and the environment. From our offices in Dordrecht and Zutphen, we work for clients throughout the Netherlands. We investigate, analyze, advise and guide, and if desired, take the overall concept on board.
Direct lines of communication, quick turnaround
End-to-end guidance
We are here to help you think things through
Our approach
Skeptical, involved and expert
At Buro Antares, we believe that good advice should not only be strong in terms of content, but also practical to apply. That is why we combine specialist knowledge with a clear and no-nonsense approach.
From initial research to guidance during implementation: we think ahead, act quickly, and ensure clarity in complex projects.
How do we work?
-
Pragmatic and with both feet on the ground
Standard solutions where possible, alternatives that add value. We go beyond the minimum required by law and think along with the client's interests. No nonsense, that's what we are.
-
Own field team
Our field workers are on contract, not hired. This ensures short lines of communication, better quality, and the ability to quickly adapt when something unexpected arises at the construction site. Our field workers are also certified as environmental supervisors, which is a major advantage during the implementation phase of remediation projects.
-
Flexible and fast
In the event of unexpected problems on the construction site, we can dispatch a field worker very quickly, often the same day. We have a schedule, but we adapt it as the situation requires.
Branches

Frequently asked questions
What sets Buro Antares apart?
Three things: our experienced team with long service records, our own on-site team with direct lines of communication, and the ability to offer the full package from research to execution within Aurora Group.
From what project volume do you work?
We work from very small scale (a single monitoring borehole for a private individual) to very large scale (remediations of 26 hectares with multi-million-pound budgets). Our sweet spot lies in projects that require specific expertise outside standard procedures.
How quickly can you get started?
For urgent projects, we can often have someone on site within a few days. For standard projects, we typically schedule within a week and deliver within six weeks.
Do you also work internationally?
Our main focus is in the Netherlands. Within Aurora Group there is international experience (via Verhoeve Belgium, among others), but Buro Antares itself mainly works in the Netherlands.
