By national ratios Amsterdam supports about 500 full-time concrete mason pros — a large market with room for niche specialists, emergency-only operators and franchises alike. That is several times the size of a typical Netherlands city we cover. Only 30 % of homes are owner-occupied: landlords, building managers and housing associations place much of the work, often as recurring contracts. The housing stock is old for the country, which pushes repair and replacement demand above the national average.
