By national ratios Amsterdam supports about 130 full-time foundation specialist pros — enough for a real local trade with specialists, not just generalists. 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.

1 foundation specialist pros are listed in Amsterdam; 0 of them offer crawl space encapsulation specifically. Every listed pro covers roughly 270,000 households — plenty of room before this market reads as crowded.
