The value builders

All experts, stronger together.

Five teams with an eye for detail
& a group with a clear overview

As a group combining the expertise of 5 specialist construction companies, we have the experience and knowhow required to develop, build, make more sustainable, complete and maintain a real estate project. We believe that our experts are stronger together: our companies work as a team to complement and reinforce each other for joint and individual projects alike. Thanks to our group structure, all have access to a centralised services system to offer support along the way.

Owing to our vertical integration, we are able to respond to ever-changing needs more quickly, efficiently and dynamically, and are faster to create places that are nicer to live, work or relax in.

Welcome to Democo Group.

Founder Cyriel Demot

Cyriel Demot was 56 when, in 1977, he was dismissed from his role as CEO at a construction company following a dispute within management. All 800 workers, most of whom Cyriel knew by name, stood by his side and spontaneously put down their tools – to no avail.

As a father to 3 young children, Cyriel did not lose courage: he sold off his apartment by the seaside for seed capital and together with Frans Houben and Mario Longhi started his own construction company: Democo. Cyriel’s loyalty, integrity and respect for customers and workers paid off: no more than a year later, the company had a headcount of 80 employees and a considerable number of former clients had followed. In the next years, Democo continued to show rapid growth: Cyriel was a strong believer in vertical integration and was keen to work as one company as much as possible. Thanks to this approach, many construction partners became colleagues and the company gathered further expertise in the areas of finishing, technical services and project development.
