Article on strategic estate planning in Circubuild
An article appeared on Circubuild.be about the strategic real estate plans that Factor4 is preparing for Dendermonde, Harelbeke, Hove, Landen, Sint-Niklaas and Voeren.
Among other things, as a partner in the SURE2050 project, Factor4 has now helped about 20 local governments develop a sustainable real estate strategy and a real estate plan. A strategic real estate plan is a concrete roadmap to get all city buildings climate neutral by 2050.
"The quick scans in all our buildings gave us an insight into the good and less good points of the patrimony in terms of sustainability.
It also became clear which issues needed to be addressed as soon as possible and which buildings deserved priority."

15 years of experience with NEN 2767: the maintenance standard that has taken Belgium by storm
In 2010, Factor4 was the first Belgian consultancy firm to examine the then relatively new and promising Dutch standard NEN 2767. This standard makes it possible to assess the technical condition of building components and installations in a uniform, objective, and reproducible manner.
Are you already familiar with our integrated approach combining EPC-NR, energy audits, and condition assessments?
As a building manager, you have to juggle many responsibilities at the same time. You must comply with increasingly stringent energy and climate regulations (such as EPC NR), organise structural and cost-efficient maintenance (through condition assessments and MJOPs), and at the same time keep energy costs under control through targeted energy audits. In practice, these trajectories often run in parallel, while the associated data is scattered across different systems and reports. As a result, the overall overview is lost — costing both time and money.
