Circa 1885 trok Cornelis van Veen als timmerman naar Amsterdam. Daar werkte hij sich op tot een zeer bekwaam bouwkundig opzichter va wiens vkkundigheid de architect H.P. Berlage gebruik maakte bij de bouw van de Beurs. Okk de architect J.F.Staal werkte regelmatig met hem samen, Bijvoodbeeld bij de bouw van de Centrale Aalsmeerse Veiling.
Deze laatste schreef, toen Cornelis van Veen door en tramongeval om het leven gekomen was, aan de familie: "Hoe krachtig heeft hiij mij vele jaren, als jongere architec, ter zijde gestaan, mij door tallooze moeilijkheden van de uitvoering van bouwwerken heen geholpen. Niet allen aanzijn groote kennis, ervaring en onbeerkte ijver heb ik dankbaar te denken, maar bovenal aan zijn hooge zeedeligjkheid er xhoone rechtschapenheid".

Around 1885 Cornelis van Veen moved to Amsterdam as a carpenter. There he worked his way up to become a very skilled construction supervisor whose expertise the architect H.P. Berlage made use of in the construction of the Stock Exchange. Also the architect J.F. Staal regularly worked with him, for example on the construction of the Central Aalsmeerse Veiling.
The latter wrote to the family, when Cornelis van Veen had died as a result of a tram accident: "How vigourus he has stood by me for many years as a younger architect, helped me through countless difficulties in the execution of buildings. I think in thankfullness to him not only to his great knowledge, experience, and unlimited eagerness, but above all to his high integrity and honesty."
