At VT-Invest Construction Group, we work together towards one shared goal: contributing to a future-oriented construction sector. We do so by looking ahead, by sharing knowledge and experience, and by investing in sustainable partnerships.
The holding company acquires shareholdings, carries out management assignments, provides financial support and provides consultancy on all aspects of business management. For this purpose the holding company relies on several specialists who provide optimal support and guidance to the management of its subsidiaries. The holding company is managed by Rita, Dirk and Lorenzo Van Tornhaut.
The group employs more than 480 people and generates an annual consolidated turnover of approximately €200 million.
Entrepreneurship is our calling — it is in our DNA.
We are builders, both literally and figuratively. We are driven by progress: things must move forward, or upward. We commit ourselves as an investor, as a partner and as a sounding board. Our thinking and actions are always guided by sustainable objectives.
We actively and enthusiastically contribute to the organisations in which we invest. Supporting companies and people in their continued development is our passion. After all, we achieve more together by sharing not only the work but also its rewards.
Today’s young and talented employee is tomorrow’s business leader. We regard our employees and partners as equals, respect their human and family values, and strive to help them grow to a higher level. That is why our team always works actively and with commitment, with infectious enthusiasm and with the required professionalism.
We help them bring out their very best to meet their goals. With ambition, basic respect and common sense we make the difference. We are open to each other’s needs and concerns and help the company raise the bar even further.
Because building businesses is something you do with people.

The mission of VT-Invest Construction Group is to unite and guide the subsidiaries within the holding company in a professional manner. By supporting them in achieving their ambitions in the areas of safety, environment, sustainability and quality, VT-Invest Construction Group enables them to focus on their core activities and reach their strategic objectives. All while respecting the unique identity of each subsidiary.
VT-Invest Construction Group acts as a facilitator and coordinator. For its subsidiaries, on the one hand, ensuring they have all the resources they need to deliver their customers’ projects. And for the customers of those subsidiaries, helping them find the right expertise for their construction or property project.
Sustainability has a structural place within the way we operate. VT-Invest Construction Group is committed to using the CO2 Performance Ladder. This sustainability tool helps companies and public authorities reduce their ecological impact and achieve their goals in the areas of energy efficiency, the circularity of materials and environmental management aimed at preventing environmental damage.
We are committed to strengthening a culture in which safety, health and wellbeing are self-evident principles in all corporate activities. The group aims to continuously promote risk awareness and care for one another, so that personal injury and material damage can be prevented as much as possible. To this end we bring together our health and safety officers across the group and invest in safety training and tools.
For us, quality is not a static element. It is the result of intensive cooperation and knowledge-sharing within the group. A process supported by structured consultation and a centrally managed policy in the areas of training, HR, digitisation and IT. By continuously optimising our business processes, we ensure that every step contributes to the high-quality end result you can expect from us.
