Using the modules as a basis, both the outer and inner shells can be adapted to (changing) requirements and preferences in terms of appearance and comfort. Because we can move or remove internal walls, you can easily change the layout of the rooms. Various cladding finishes can give the building a distinctive look. And if the building is already in use but you want to modernise it or make a change to the cladding, this is also possible. It is advisable to take into account any possible expansions in the form of an extension or superstructure during the design stage. That will allow us to more easily implement the expansion later down the line, and makes sure your flexible housing always fits!<\/p>\n\n        <\/div>\n\n    <\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n    <div class=\"novi-block block-collapsible-content\"\n         data-mt=\"none\"         data-mb=\"none\">\n\n        <input type=\"checkbox\"\n               id=\"block-collapsible-content-69d17864a56d1\"\n               class=\"block-collapsible-content__checkbox\"\/>\n\n        <label for=\"block-collapsible-content-69d17864a56d1\" class=\"block-collapsible-content__label\">\n            <span class=\"block-collapsible-content__heading\">\n                Can I suggest my own architect?            <\/span>\n            <svg class=\"block-collapsible-content__icon\">\n                <use xlink:href=\"https:\/\/vdldemeeuw.com\/en\/wp-content\/themes\/novionline\/dist\/novionline-icons-9c67b6859f1525585c6967b61fae4ca7.svg#icon-arrow-down\"\/>\n            <\/svg>\n        <\/label>\n\n        <div class=\"block-collapsible-content__dropdown\">\n            \n<p class=\"novi-block block-paragraph\"data-mb=\"small\">Yes, you can do that.

Another advantage includes the reduced risk of delays due to bad weather, for example. And in the end, a faster delivery also means the building can be used faster.
