A major stumbling block in realizing housing is slowness in permitting. Therefore, disruptive thinking is needed, said Cor Schouten, ceo at Sett Living.
To meet the enormous demand for housing, several hundred thousand homes will have to be built in the Netherlands in the coming years. The only question is: how? Because in addition to a lack of locations, there is a lack of building capacity and there are increasing delivery problems with utilities. In addition, there is another stumbling block in the realization of new construction projects, namely the slowness of permit granting. So disruptive thinking is required, according to Sett Living in Nijmegen. Ceo Cor Schouten explains what that means and why Sett Living's solution really works.
'Disruptive means that we as Sett Living offer a permanent solution that can be deployed temporarily! Because our homes meet the BENG standard just like traditional homes and are therefore also comparable to traditional homes in terms of lifespan and living enjoyment. The big difference with traditional construction is that we produce factory-built, relocatable homes. Because, in our opinion, there is only one answer possible to meet demand and that is through factory-built homes. In which we focus entirely on wood frame construction.'
