About BraVeBo B.V.

Brand Veilig Bouwen – Where Safety Meets Precision.

BraVeBo B.V. is a certified specialist in passive fire protection (WBDBO + WRD) and high-end interior finishing for mission-critical environments. We work where compromise is not an option: ESA-ESTEC, data centres, control rooms, technical spaces, cleanrooms, high-risk facilities, and childcare and care environments.

The name “BraVeBo” stands for “Brand Veilig Bouwen” – literally: building for fire safety.

“In case of fire, there is no second chance!”

Our Philosophy: Quality Above All

Everything we do starts with one principle: Quality above all – always without compromise.

Our Vision

To remain small but great: a compact, high-reliability specialist team delivering accuracy, speed and full compliance at a level many larger organisations aim for but rarely achieve.

Our Mission

To deliver fully compliant, technically flawless fire and smoke sealing systems and interior finishes, built for long-term safety, reliability and audit readiness.

Our Promise

Man says, man does. We keep our commitments. Every time.

Brand Name & Identity

• BraVeBo = Brand Veilig Bouwen – building for fire safety.
• We position ourselves as a high-reliability specialist partner, not a mass-production contractor.
• We operate with long-term commitment and consciously reject low-cost, short-term thinking.
• We are not part of the grey mass. We are a deliberate choice for clients who understand risk, responsibility and traceability.

Market Position & USP

BraVeBo is positioned as a high-reliability specialist for critical safety and finishing work. We focus on demanding, mission-critical environments, and our pricing follows the level of responsibility, certification, and compliance involved.

• Market niche: specialised, not mass-market; we work in critical and demanding environments.
• Pricing: aligned with certified, high-reliability execution. Our rates reflect the required expertise, certification and compliance in mission-critical projects. Clients do not pay for hours – they pay for certainty, correctness and traceability.
• Sales approach: we do not “sell a hole with a plug”. We deliver the whole package: design, certified systems, execution, documentation and inspections.
• Integrated solutions: no single-unit mentality. We always think in systems and compartments, not in isolated details.
• Key differentiator: integrated, non-compromise delivery featuring:

  - certified compliance (WBDBO + WRD, Bbl, NEN, EN, ISSO/SBR) - comprehensive documentation (logbooks, annual inspections, digital dossiers) - strict adherence to procedures (including ESA-style protocols).

Fire & Smoke Seal Solutions for Mission-Critical Environments

BraVeBo specialises in certified EI-classified fire seals (WBDBO) and WRD smoke seals for electrical, mechanical and structural penetrations in mission-critical environments.

Why Our Seals Are Different

• Norm-tight: work strictly according to Bbl, NEN 6068 (WBDBO), NEN 6075 (WRD), EN 1366-3/-4, EN 13501-2, ISSO-SBR 809.
• Certified systems: KLF-tested Firetect, ROCKWOOL and ETA/CE-approved solutions.
• Zero shortcuts: only certified system families, matched to the penetration type.
• Full traceability: every seal receives a unique QR code.
• Digital dossier (10+ years): photos, classification, materials (including batch), location, inspection history.
• Audit-ready: suitable for ESA, CBRE, major facility managers, insurers and authorities.

Technical Scope

• Cable and data penetrations
• Conduits, pipes and ducts
• Multi-penetrations and complex routes
• Joints and linear gaps
• Hidden or difficult structural penetrations
• WRD sealing for protected escape routes and critical compartments

We do not “plug holes”. We restore compartmentation: fire-resistant and smoke-resistant, documented and traceable.

Premium Interior Finishing

Perfect Finish. Certified Execution.

Our finishing division applies the same discipline as our fire seals:

• Professional painting and wall systems (including fire-rated and acoustic)
• Ceiling systems and partitions
• Flooring: PVC, laminate, carpet
• Insulation (ISOVER Insulation Partner ⋆⋆⋆, EN-tested, Euroclass A1)
• Dust-free, clean, quiet and compliant work in live-operation buildings

Executed with surgical precision in laboratories, offices, data centres, control rooms and childcare environments.

Core Activities at a Glance

BraVeBo focuses on two tightly integrated pillars:

• Certified fire-resistant & smoke-resistant seals

  Solutions for electrical, mechanical and structural penetrations, providing full compartmentalisation (WBDBO), smoke tightness (WRD), CE-marked and tested according to NEN-EN 1366-3 and ISSO/SBR 809.

• Premium interior finishing

  Precision painting, high-quality flooring (PVC, laminate, carpet tiles), fire-resistant and acoustic wall systems, and technically superior insulation solutions (ULTIMATE™, mineral and glass wool, Euroclass A1).

This combination gives you one specialist partner for both passive fire protection and high-end finishing in the same critical environments.

Who We Work For

BraVeBo is built for organisations that carry real responsibility for people, assets and continuity, including:

• Building owners and asset managers who need demonstrable WBDBO / WRD performance
• Facility managers and technical departments who want a reliable, proactive partner instead of “patchwork firestopping”
• Technical service providers and facility managers under long-term management contracts
• International organisations that require ESA-level quality and procedures
• Insurers and risk managers who demand documentation certainty, traceability and strict compliance
• Municipalities, regulators and fire services who need clear, honest reporting

We speak their language: standards, risk, liability and continuity.

Why BraVeBo – One Partner, All-in Responsibility

Clients choose BraVeBo because we combine:

• Direct communication & fast follow-up – short lines, clear answers, no bureaucracy
• Certified fire safety – WBDBO, WRD and CE-marked systems, aligned with Bbl, NEN and EN standards
• Documentation that lives – inspections, logbooks and digital dossiers as part of the service approach, not an afterthought
• High-quality finishing – floors, walls and coatings that match the level of the fire seals
• Disciplined teams – VCA VOL, NEN 3140 and a strict internal code of behaviour
• Flexible planning – work windows tailored to critical environments, with minimal disruption
• Personal accessibility – you always know who to contact, and you reach us directly

It is a complete system of reliability, not just a list of services.

The BraVeBo Method: Integrated Quality Assurance

• 1. Intake & Risk Analysis

  We inspect, verify the applicable standards, confirm EI/WRD requirements and record all relevant details.

• 2. Advice & System Selection

  We select certified system families – no guesswork, no forced “one-fits-all” solutions.

• 3. Certified Installation

  Executed with professional precision by certified technicians.

• 4. Digital QR Dossier

  Each seal becomes a traceable, documented asset within your building.

• 5. Inspection & Follow-Up

  We ensure the compartment is restored and compliant, ready for inspections and audits.

Traceability & Compliance (Our Biggest Strength)

Every seal is:

• Individually labelled with a QR code
• Photographed
• Classified (EI / WRD)
• Registered with material and batch numbers
• Linked to a specific location and building zone
• Logged for inspection, repair and future works
• Stored digitally for 10+ years

Why It Matters

This level of traceability is not cosmetic. It is designed so that inspectors, insurers and authorities can quickly verify:

• Which penetrations are sealed
• With which systems and classifications
• When and by whom they were installed or repaired
• How the compartment currently performs

Documentation is structured to support inspections, insurers, audits and ESA-style procedures without extra work for the client.

This means: less discussion, faster audits and a clear chain of responsibility.

Lifecycle Support: Inspections & Logbooks

Passive fire protection is not a one-time action at handover; it is a lifecycle responsibility:

• We can perform periodic inspections of existing fire and smoke seals.
• Deviations and damages are recorded in the same structured way as new work.
• Logbooks and digital dossiers are kept up to date, so your documentation remains aligned with reality.

This keeps building owners, facility managers and insurers in sync on the real status of critical compartmentation.

Certifications & Professional Competence

Our credentials underpin our performance:

• Firetect Certified Applicator & Inspector (KLF) for multiple fire seal systems
• ISOVER Insulation Partner – 3-Star
• VCA VOL
• NEN 3140 (LV) – for safe working in low-voltage technical environments
• IPAF 3a/3b – for safe work at height with MEWPs

These certificates support our work in high-risk technical environments and audits.

Health, Safety & Insurance

• Work preparation and execution follow strict VCA VOL safety principles.
• BraVeBo works only with parties that meet health & safety, insurance and competence requirements.
• Every team member has the authority to stop work in unsafe or non-compliant situations.
• All activities are covered by appropriate liability insurance (AVB) for critical environments.
• Safety always comes before planning and price.

This combines technical quality with a mature safety and insurance foundation.

The BraVeBo Code: Culture & Behaviour

Working in critical environments requires discipline. Our internal culture and code of conduct are simple and strict.

Respect & Fairness

• Treat colleagues, clients and suppliers with respect.
• No tolerance for discrimination, intimidation or unfair behaviour.

Safety Above Planning and Price

• Safety comes first, always.
• Any team member may stop work if a situation is unsafe or not compliant with procedures.

Agreements & Communication

• Keep promises and honour agreements.
• If something changes, inform the client early and honestly – no surprises, no excuses.

Compliance & Documentation

• Follow applicable procedures and norms (Bbl, NEN, EN and client-specific procedures such as ESA).
• Work is documented truthfully; no shortcuts, no “creative” photos or reports.

Confidentiality & Trust

• Technical data, drawings, photos and procedures from clients are treated as confidential.
• Nothing is shared externally without clear permission.

Subcontractors & Partners

• We work only with parties that meet the same safety, quality and behaviour standards.
• Subcontractors are expected to follow the BraVeBo way of working.
• No shortcuts in critical work; only approved systems and materials are used.
• If there is doubt about a detail, work stops until the right solution is confirmed.

Summary

We do not improvise. We do not hide issues. We do not leave problems behind.

We deliver work that stands – technically, legally and practically.

Team & Strukture

BraVeBo operates with a lean, management-led structure.

BraVeBo is intentionally built as a focused expert team: compact enough to stay close to the work, structured enough to operate in mission-critical environments. Leadership is directly involved in intake, planning and verification of all essential projects.

IT & Systems

BraVeBo’s core IT and key operational systems are managed internally by the founder / Managing Director. This keeps critical data, documentation and security controls close to the heart of the company and under direct supervision.

Leadership

Ernestas Belaūsas Founder & Managing Director

Fire & Smoke Seal Specialist • Firetect KLF • VCA VOL • NEN 3140 • ISOVER ⋆⋆⋆ Partner • IPAF 3a/3b

BraVeBo builds on decades of proven experience in fire protection and mission-critical environments. Projects are not handed over to “the system” – they are actively led, monitored and verified by leadership.

Direct involvement. Direct responsibility.

Network & Extended Capacity

When projects grow in scale or complexity, BraVeBo can expand its capacity through a proven network of reliable partners. Depending on the assignment, this includes:

• Certified firestop technicians and technical specialists
• Health & Safety officers and coordinators
• Specialist engineers (fire, structural, HVAC, electrical)
• Accountants, compliance advisors and legal support

The BraVeBo team works with these specialists as one integrated whole, under the same procedures, safety culture and documentation standards. This gives the client more expertise, control and assurance than they would normally expect from a single provider – with one fixed party holding final responsibility: BraVeBo.

Legal & Governance Framework

Behind the technical work, BraVeBo operates within a clear and transparent legal framework:

• General Terms & Conditions for services and deliveries
• Specific Purchasing Terms when BraVeBo acts as buyer
• A dedicated Cooperation framework for suppliers, subcontractors and international partners
• Documented privacy policy and disclaimer for data protection and website use

All legal documents are versioned and maintained in one central overview, so clients and partners always know which terms apply.

This governance structure mirrors our technical philosophy: clarity, traceability and long-term reliability.

Built for Legal & Regulatory Reality

Our approach helps clients meet their duty of care under the Bbl and relevant NEN and EN standards. By combining certified systems with complete, traceable documentation, we reduce the risk of later disputes about:

• responsibility
• liability
• the actual performance of fire and smoke compartments in practice

Technical Knowledge & Explainers

BraVeBo does not only execute; we also explain.

For design, construction and facility teams, we provide:

• A dedicated Fire Seals & Passive Fire Protection section with clear explanations of WBDBO, EI, WRD and the interaction between the Bbl, NEN 6068, NEN 6075 and EN test standards.
• A Terminology & Standards overview to help stakeholders understand what certificates, classifications and documents mean in practice.

This enables architects, advisers, contractors, owners and inspectors to make decisions based on facts rather than assumptions – and keeps everyone aligned on the same technical language.
