Groningen's Most Trusted Contractor — 65+ Projects, Zero Regrets
No subcontractors. No hidden costs. No sales talk. Just craftsmanship that shows up and gets it right.
The Story Behind Farwood
From founding to today — the same standard, every project.
The Beginning
Farwood Timmerwerken was founded by Farouk, a civil engineer with 7 years of construction experience. The goal: a contractor in Groningen that puts honesty and craftsmanship first — without management layers or hidden costs.
First 10 Projects
Word spread fast. Clients weren't getting a standard contractor — they were getting a partner who treated their home as if it were their own. Every project on time, every promise kept.
The Master Credential
Farwood combines academic precision (MSc Civil Engineering, Nuffic recognized) with hands-on field experience. Theory and practice — the best of both for you.
65+ Projects & Counting
From small renovations to full new builds. From Groningen city to Haren, Leek, and Zuidlaren. Farwood is on-site every day, led by Farouk.
What's Next
Same approach. Same standards. Only bigger impact. Farwood takes on select new projects each month — quality over quantity isn't a slogan, it's a rule.
“Every project I treat with the same responsibility as if it were my own home.”
