BAM has been chosen as the construction partner to deliver an estimated 1,000 homes in the eastern Netherlands.
This initiative is part of the Bouwstroom Oost project, a joint effort among five housing corporations aimed at delivering affordable and sustainable housing.
The homes will be developed using BAM’s concept home strategy, which utilises standardised designs based on reference models to streamline the construction process.
This approach is stated to not only reduce costs but also enhance the sustainability of the homes. The stacked housing concept employed by BAM is said to allow for the construction of more homes in a limited space without compromising on comfort and quality.
The decision to partner with BAM was made after a tender that emphasised sustainability criteria aligned with the ‘New Normal’ standard.
This criteria focused on environmental performance, circularity of materials, and the healthiness and detachability of construction materials. Factors such as ease of maintenance and living quality were also considered.

The first of these homes is expected to be completed by the end of 2025, with an overall goal of constructing 2,500 homes through the Bouwstroom Oost initiative.
