(Re)building or demolishing?
Avoid delays in your construction project!

Before you start building, renovating or demolishing, an ecological analysis has been made or you should have one carried out to see whether there are protected animal species in the area. If this appears to be the case, (temporary) nesting boxes must be installed beforehand in order to provide safe shelter for the protected animal species. Then you can start the construction work. You can then have fixed nesting boxes incorporated in your building during the renovation.

After mitigating measures have been taken, your building or property must be made unsuitable. This means that protected animal species can leave safely and can no longer enter the property. After an on-site inspection and your property is declared clean, construction, renovation or demolition work can begin. Bats & Birds has the knowledge, experience and capabilities to successfully make properties unsuitable for bats, birds or other protected species.

Effective nesting boxes with an eye for nature

Our nest boxes are designed to support the natural habitat of endangered species. Our goal is to construct and install nest boxes with a high success rate. By this we mean that we adapt the nesting enclosure according to the target species, both for temporary and permanent mitigation.

Thanks to our expertise and passion, we understand the characteristics and needs of different species. Based on that information, we work out a specific design. For example, we create nest boxes for bats, swifts, house sparrows, owls and peregrine falcons, among others.

In addition to dimensions and interior dimensions of stays, we think about the climate in single or multi-level boxes. We work as much as possible with natural and environmentally conscious materials that have a sustainable character, such as cork and waterproof birch wood. Check out our offer in the webshop.

We always look for the best solution to our clients’ questions. Thanks to our various nesting boxes, we usually succeed in finding them right away. It is through our experience and variety of boxes and colors that the chances of success in a project are increased.

Together with you, we preserve biodiversity and protect endangered species. Will you join us?
