 A Finch Buildings project follows a clear process. In it, we work as a "systems shed" to guide all parties in the project through the application of our wood building system.

 A Finch Buildings project follows a clear process. In it, we work as a "systems shed" to provide all the
guide parties in the project in the application of our wood building system.

Phase 1: Inventory
Objective: Determine a unified starting point for your construction task.

We believe that cooperation only makes sense if we can solve the construction question efficiently.

That process begins with a good inventory in which we discuss the (im)possibilities, opportunities and risks.

In this phase, we gather all the relevant information needed to create a Quick Scan.

Phase 2: Quick Scan
Objective: Analysis of your task from our modular construction method.

Output quick scan:
  • A 3D volume study LOD 100 (level of detail)
     o Made up of four colors. These denote traditionally built building components (such as the foundation), all "100% Finch" modules and any deviations from the Finch Platform.
  • Key figure estimate per m2 GLA
     o For the construction and design-related ancillary costs of your listing.
  • High-level technical description of Finch's supplies and services

  • Key figure estimate per m2 GLA
     o For the construction and design-related additional costs of your listing.
  • High-level technical description of Finch's supplies and services

Phase 3: Structure design
Objective: Detail outcome quick scan and a clear, task-setting construction budget.

Output structure design:

  • An outline volume study (LOD 200) and inventory of any deviations from the Finch Platform

  • A ceiling budget setup for the construction costs with key figures for the traditionally built building components, an indication of the cost of the modules and a mark-up (elaboration budget) for deviations from the Finch Platform.

  • An estimate of module-related additional costs.

  • A technical description and overall demarcation for Finch's supplies and services linked to the ceiling budget.

Phase 4: Design process

The volume study and associated task-setting construction budget is the basis for the continued design process.

Finch Buildings remains involved throughout the design process:
  • as a consultant
  • responsible for the technical development of the modules
  • monitoring the (technical) preconditions for our building system
  • we advise on the demarcation between factory work and construction site work
  • we provide the architect and client with solicited and unsolicited advice to optimize the project
