Contractor in Mechelen for architectural renovation and new build
BRIQ is a general contractor with an office on the Stuivenbergvaart in Mechelen. We renovate and build homes of character and professional spaces in the city and its surroundings, from the first demolition to the last finish, with one dedicated project manager as your point of contact.
One contractor for your entire project
We take on the complete execution: demolition, structural work, roof and facade, building services, interior finishing, bespoke joinery, painting and garden. You sign one contract, and your project manager aligns all the works. For this we work with a permanent team of about fifteen specialists we have worked with for years.
Every week you sit around the table at the site meeting with your project manager and your architect. That way you always know where your project stands, and your home is finished as it was drawn.
Renovating in Mechelen calls for preparation
Existing homes often only reveal their surprises when demolition begins, and in the city centre the accessibility of the site and the neighbours also count. That is why we thoroughly map the existing situation in advance and draw up one schedule together, which we follow up every week. Changes are priced in advance and only carried out after your approval.
At SDWA we transformed an industrial building in the centre into an open loft around an inner patio. At Townhouse Mechelen the front facade was opened up during the works and then restored to its original state.

Frequently asked questions
What does a general contractor do at BRIQ?
In Flanders the terms for this role are often used interchangeably: it means one contractor who takes on the execution of an entire project. At BRIQ that really does mean everything, from demolition and structural work to bespoke joinery, painting and garden, under one contract and with one dedicated project manager.
What does a total renovation in Mechelen cost?
A total renovation at BRIQ starts from €100,000. Most projects are between €350,000 and €1,000,000; the largest go up to €3,000,000. After the introductory meeting and the site visit, you will receive a complete, detailed quotation within four weeks on average.
When can the works start?
Works usually start 2 to 4 months after the contract is signed.
Do I need my own architect?
No. If you do not have an architect yet, we look at the introduction at who will draw your project: our in-house architect, who works independently, or one of our partner architects. You sign the design contract directly with the architect.
