Finch Buildings founder and director Jurrian Knijtijzer has been nominated for the ABN AMRO Sustainable 50 - the list of frontrunners accelerating the Netherlands toward a sustainable future.

Finch Buildings has been included as one of the frontrunners in the sector guide The Dutch Circular Built Environment by the Rijksdienst voor Ondernemend Nederland (RVO).

On October 27, Pakhuis de Zwijger will be the stage for everyone who believes in the power of building with wood. Finch Buildings is a proud partner of Houtbouw XL 2025.

Houtwereld visited Finch Buildings in the factory at our manufacturing partner MAAT Feeling Home. An article about the production of Project Pasteur in Haarlem appeared on September 23, 2025.

Why are we suddenly making so many timber construction meters? Journalist Kirsten Hannema wrote an incisive analysis in de Volkskrant about the boom in timber construction and a practical 7-step plan to take that movement further. The article also features Finch Buildings founder Jurrian Knijtijzer.

Wooden apartment buildings or row houses are slowly becoming more common. And have an excellent business case. It does require a different way of thinking, for example by pricing CO2 storage and time savings.

At Finch Buildings, we want to make sustainable and circular construction methods widely accessible and accelerated. That is why we are proud partners of the National Wood Building Game - a free online learning program for municipalities, housing associations and developing builders.

That you don't always consciously choose a wooden house becomes clear when we visit Paul Vlaar (79) and Mariet van der Weiden (76) for coffee. The couple has been living in a Finch apartment on Koelmalaan in Alkmaar for two years now.

The construction of Project Pasteur is running at full speed. And it is happening in two places at once: in the factory and on the construction site.
