TO COLLABORATE
Material with a good story
Our circular wood comes from organizations and individuals who are committed to contributing to the circular economy. Buurman Amsterdam collaborates with recycling centers. As a private individual, you can give your wood a second life through these facilities. We also collaborate extensively with organizations to make a sustainable impact together. We'd love to tell you more about our approach!

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the opening hours?
Tuesday: By appointment, Wednesday to Friday: 09:30 - 17:30, Saturday: 10:00 - 17:00, Sun & Mon: Closed
Can I make an appointment?
Yes, that's possible! If you have a larger project, we can help you by appointment, even outside our regular business hours. Contact us at info@buurmanamsterdam.nl to schedule an appointment. Tip: Let your client experience the atmosphere and get acquainted with circular production.
Can I visit outside opening hours?
Yes, that's possible! If the door is open, you're always welcome to come take a look. Please note that we won't be able to assist you outside of opening hours!
Can I reserve material?
Normally, we operate on a first-come, first-served basis, so we can't reserve materials. If you'd like a quote for a larger quantity, we'd be happy to discuss this with you and set something aside.
Can I temporarily store my material at Buurman?
In principle, you take materials with you immediately after purchase. Unfortunately, we don't have the space to store materials for you. There are a few exceptions: if you buy materials that we will deliver or cut to size for you, we will temporarily set them aside. If you need a quote for a larger quantity, we'd be happy to discuss it with you and arrange something.
Does Buurman Amsterdam deliver to homes?
Your purchase doesn't fit in your car and you live in Amsterdam Noord? No problem! For €75, we'll deliver your items right to your door. It's easy, and you don't need to rent a van. Just ask in the store.
Can I have material cut to size by you?
Yes, provided the material was purchased from us. We'll perform simple cuts for you immediately or within a week. We charge a start-up fee of €10 for the first 10 minutes, followed by €1 per minute. All costs are negotiable.
Which materials can I pay for online?
You can already arrange a small selection online. Gift vouchers (to make someone else happy through circularity), workshops (to get started yourself), and for all other materials: come by and choose from our changing selection.
Where do your materials come from?
Our wood and building materials are rescued from the waste pile. They are local, circular, and unique. Materials with a story. For example, from local museums, recycling centers, or wood suppliers. In our store, you'll also find leftover materials from wood producers or project construction, making them suitable for larger projects in and around the home or office.

I want large volumes. Is that possible?
Absolutely! Buurman is also available for professional makers and larger projects. For large quantities, we're happy to provide a customized quote. We can also hold materials aside for you or deliver them to you. Contact us and we'll see what's possible.
