Architeam was recognised by the independent evaluation committee as a laureate of the VOKA Charter Sustainable Business (VCDO) 2025 in early 2026.
For us, VCDO is not an end point, but a methodology to structurally embed sustainability in our operations and projects. The process helps us translate ambitions into concrete, measurable actions and make annual adjustments.
Within the construction industry, Building Information Modeling (BIM) is gaining more and more ground. It is a methodology that allows proactive problem-solving before issues arise. To make our multidisciplinary approach—where architecture, technical systems, and structural stability come together—even more efficient, we at Architeam aim to invest further in BIM.
In the “Fleurus Heppignies Ouest” economic zone, just a stone’s throw from Charleroi Airport, Architeam and its partners developed a forward-thinking office building for the retail chain Trafic (specializing in local discount and non-food retail). The project represents a key step in the continued development of the WDP site, where a large logistics center (warehouse) was already operational.
We are pleased to share that on April 30, 2025, the cornerstone ceremony took place for the Final Assembly Line (FAL) of the D328eco® regional aircraft at Leipzig/Halle Airport in Germany. This ceremony marks a significant milestone in the aviation industry and heralds a new era for regional aircraft production in Germany. The D328eco® sets new standards in this facility for climate-friendly manufacturing and environmentally responsible flying.
You’ve probably already seen it in the news: Lidl is building a new distribution center in Herentals. Architeam is especially proud to be involved in this project as the architect. This ambitious project on the former Henrad site, right next to the E313 motorway, impressively combines sustainability, innovation, and economic growth. With a surface area of no less than 43,000 m² – that’s five football fields – it will be one of the largest and most progressive distribution centers in Belgium.
At Stageco Belgium in Haacht, we successfully completed a project on their 15.5-hectare site. During peak times, more than 170 trailers can be parked on the premises. The warehouses are filled with equipment for events such as the Tour of Flanders, Graspop, Pukkelpop, and Rock Werchter.

During Voka's Top Talks 2024, Rik Liekens, founder of Architeam gave more insight into this. Our motto "The most sustainable square metre is the square metre that is not built on." We try to use space efficiently. As miK Climate Ambassador 2023, we are the ideal party to talk about sustainable efficiency in construction.

At Architeam, sustainability is at the heart of who we are and what we do. That is why we are pleased to announce that we have registered with the Voka Charter Sustainable Business (VCDO). This initiative provides us with the structure to strengthen and formalise our commitment to sustainable practices.

Our sustainability principles fall under one or more of these goals. To achieve the Sustainable Business Charter, we have drawn up a plan of action, completing the various actions during this calendar year. This is a continuous process, where we remain committed to improving our efforts
Every year, miK issues the title miK Climate Ambassador. 16 December, the winner was announced for their 10th edition. We can hardly believe it. We are immensely honoured to receive this award! Sustainability is in our DNA. Architeam has been concerned with sustainability long before it got a name. Reuse and redeployment are standard in our way of working. Now, of course, our commitment goes much further. ‘You don't just throw it away, you build on it.’ By 2007, we were already laying the most solar panels in Belgium, and by 2000 we had also ordered the most insulation in the country. Over the years, we have even carried out remediation at our own expense, driven by our commitment to a sustainable future when no one was asking for it. ‘Proudly presenting
