Bricknest is a small general contractor founded in 2023 by Stan Prysiazhniuk, whose background is in software development, and Vadym Gakalo, who has experience in real estate development. Operating in or near Amsterdam, Bricknest approaches home renovation and remodeling projects through a combination of construction expertise and a proprietary digital platform. This tool provides clients with continuous updates, detailed financial tracking, and full transparency on project progress, costs, and materials.
The organization’s core team consists of five professionals, including cost calculators, administrators, and project managers. Bricknest manages the entire renovation process—from material procurement to quality control—and works with a network of independent, vetted subcontractors. Their projects range from single-room renovations, such as bathrooms or kitchens (with prices starting from €8,000 and €11,000, respectively), to full apartment overhauls, with complete renovation rates for a two-bedroom apartment starting at €29,000.
Recent projects include a full renovation of a bathroom in central Amsterdam and comprehensive upgrades in Gouda that covered kitchen, bathroom, and utility systems. At project completion, Bricknest commissions third-party quality control specialists to verify the end result. The company offers clients insurance coverage of up to €500,000 throughout renovation works and promises rapid fixes for any defects occurring within the first year. Bricknest’s approach emphasizes precise task breakdowns, itemized cost estimates, and ongoing aftercare rather than relying on traditional contracting methods.
