As a specialist in the innovation of building materials, methods, and digitization, I have greatly enjoyed contributing to the preparations for this initiative. It is urgently time for the sector to catch up by finally enabling sustainable projects on a large scale, according to the desires of those who will live in them. The Great Initiative for Homes is ideally suited to relieve all stakeholders and to organize everything that matters much faster and better.

Our Sustainer.home system offers flexible solutions for sustainable timber construction, ranging from apartments to townhouses. With innovative 3D models and digital supply chain integration, we accelerate the transition to scalable, affordable sustainable building. The focus of The Great Initiative for Homes on crowd-developers’ housing preferences is perfectly in tune with the times. We are ready to collaborate on many projects.

Institut Bauen und Umwelt (IBU) calculates and publishes eco-balance values necessary for sustainability requirements. We support The Great Initiative for Homes and partners in presenting their ecological new construction projects that excel in CO2 reduction and endorse the significant benefits of this platform. At IBU, we look forward to further collaboration.

In my book Legolisering van de bouw (Legolization of Construction, 2011), I highlight inefficiencies in the construction industry and propose solutions to reduce costs and improve quality. It’s promising that The Great Initiative for Homes embraces an innovative approach that prioritizes consumer needs and integrates these improvements. I believe this will inspire the conservative construction sector to address both the housing shortage and its climate impact.

We produce high-quality, groundbreaking energy solutions that make new homes completely self-sufficient. We are proud to contribute to making homes affordable and truly sustainable. This can significantly reduce utility costs, perfectly aligning with the crowd-development concept. Yes, we’re in!
