Always the space you need
Looking for a temporary building or a long-term housing solution? With flexible housing, you always have the space you need to work, teach, care or live in. We can easily make the building larger or smaller while in use, give it a different function, or move it from one location to another. You can also choose the form of financing that suits you best. Opt for a rental or purchasing option, even with a lifetime buyback guarantee. This means that flexible housing gives you the financial space you need.
Temporary solutions, arranged in a snap
Flexible housing is the ideal solution for absorbing any (un)expected peaks, for renovations or for a temporarily emergency solution. This could include an emergency classroom due to rapid growth in pupil numbers, or storm or fire damage, an extra office unit for employees, or a polling station during elections. For urgent situations, we can deliver a complete building in just one week, often from stock. But you can also use flexible housing for the medium term. From shared interim schools to a safe home for refugees, due to a plan or higher demands – in any case only for a limited time.
Long-term high quality solutions
Nothing is rigid or final, everything is adaptable and mobile. This is flexible housing: the intelligent and circular alternative to traditional real estate that meets the challenges of today and tomorrow. That includes the huge housing shortage, the nitrogen crisis and the rapidly increasing ageing population. We create beautiful customised buildings with the same quality and comfort of traditional real estate. Not only do you choose how long the building remains standing, but you also decide on the layout, finishing and appearance.
Flexible housing is fast
Flexible housing is the fastest way to create a building. The lead time for an average construction project is about 75% shorter! You can also get it up and running faster than traditional real estate, because we can start production while you are still applying for planning permission. Without a single weather-related issue. The streamlined design and production process ensures that everything is ready on time. Is it an urgent request? Then we can deliver from stock.
Flexible housing is smart
The current housing issues are challenging us to work smarter. For us, that starts with a standardised and cleverly pre-engineered approach, where we remain constantly focused on process optimisation. This allows us to get the most out of ourselves and to offer the best and fastest achievable solution. But it also means efficient (re)use of buildings. How can you finance the project? We have a few creative approaches to find a way.
Flexible housing is circular
Our buildings are designed to use resources efficiently and responsibly. That means the buildings can be dismantled down to the component level and 95% of our materials can be reused. Without any breakage or demolishing. This means that cladding, interior walls or sanitary units can be repurposed. We store materials and parts in our materials bank and redeploy them as soon as possible or as needed. That completes the circle.
Total solution from A to Z
Flexible housing is more than just a building. That means we also provide servicing, maintenance and additional services as long as the building remains standing. Choose the most suitable maintenance contract or call in the repair service when needed.
Always a sound business case
When we say flexible housing is always the answer, we really mean always. This also allows us to keep the financing process flexible and customised. At VDL De Meeuw, you can choose from the rental or purchasing options, and can include a buyback option for latter. And did you know that we can also help you finance the project?
