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.

Since February 2025, Finch director Jurrian Knijtijzer has been part of the administrative core group of the Covenant on Future-Safe Building, which aims to make the built environment in the Netherlands structurally future-proof.

Koelmalaan in Alkmaar is one of the largest timber construction projects in the Netherlands. On June 21, visitors had the unique opportunity to view this project during the Dag van de HOUTbouw.

De Oversteek in Oosterenk has won awards at the European Responsible Housing Awards 2025. In the category "One step further for safe and carefree living," deltaWonen won silver.
