Putting my project on the market and choosing partners: how do I get started?

The transition to a circular economy means we have to rethink the ambitions and delivery of construction projects. The purchasing and tendering process plays an important role here. It ensures that a different approach is needed to be able to successfully complete a building or renovation. To provide guidance to the sector, a framework was developed that allows you to map all the considerations and phases that are important when tendering a circular and bio-based construction project.

Which aspects of circulair construction do I include in my project and how do I follow up on them?

Circular construction is a very broad and complex topic. It is therefore not always easy to define concrete ambitions for a project. Do you focus on reusing building materials? Or do you rather focus on demountable construction so that the building carries a high future circular potential? This guide and the accompanying tool provide support in concretising circular ambitions by giving an overview of the key elements and actions you can include in a project.

How can I evaluatie my project after devlivery?

In order to evaluate a project properly, it is crucial that you focus on a number of issues from the beginning of the project. That way, you have a clear view of all aspects of your project from the outset and can gain important insights on how to improve things. There are various methods and tools to do this.
