In IP there is, although slowly and slowly, such a thing as construction holidays (De bouwvakvakantie). This is the time in the height of summer, when all (or almost all) construction companies were closed for the holidays.
However, the further into the forest, the fewer businesses are closed. Apparently, this is why in recent years there are no mandatory dates for these vacations, but only the recommended dates for their holding.
For this (2019) year, the following dates are recommended:
In the north of the country: July 29 to August 16 (i.e. from 31 to 33 weeks)
Center: August 5 to August 23 (i.e. from 32 to 34 weeks)
In the South: July 22 to August 9 (i.e. from 30 to 32 weeks)
