CrowdBuilding

THE STARTING POINT FOR COMMUNITY LED HOUSING

Societal Challenge & Market

The Netherlands must build 1M homes in 10 years, but 25 years of market-led, top-down development has slowed progress. New housing is often costly, standardized, and unsustainable. Bottom-up citizen initiatives offer more affordable, sustainable solutions, but scaling is difficult due to limited plots, fragmented information, complex processes, and unclear financing paths.

Solution

CrowdBuilding focuses on bottom-up initiatives by working directly with municipalities to unlock building plots. It provides citizens with the tools, knowledge, financing options, and expert support they need to take action. Unlike a top-down development model, CrowdBuilding helps citizens take control of their own housing projects rather than being limited by market-driven solutions.
