PAS bv is a leading consultancy specialising in land economics, area development, land policy and environmental law. Founded in 1993, the firm has established itself as a solid and innovative partner for both public and private clients.
PAS bv supports municipalities, provinces and water authorities, as well as developers, investors and housing associations. Its advisory work focuses on the financial aspects of spatial planning — including land exploitations, cost recovery, feasibility analyses and second opinions.
The firm specialises in modelling and analysing spatial plans, turning financial challenges into opportunities for area development projects. In addition to advisory services, PAS bv also offers secondment: experienced land economists who temporarily join a client's team to provide capacity and expertise.
With a team of over 60 professionals, PAS bv has the in-house knowledge to cover all aspects of area development, from civil engineering and land pricing policy to risk management. The firm operates nationally, with offices in Houten and Groningen.
Under the name PAS Academy, PAS bv offers training and education in land economics and area development. This includes an internal traineeship for recent graduates, a mid-level programme supporting progression from junior to senior, and open-enrolment and in-company courses for external parties such as municipalities, developers and other professionals in the field.
The firm's core values are no-nonsense, collaboration, loyalty and a culture of continuous learning.
