Project Elements is located in Haarlem's Schalkwijk Midden district, on the former Fluor site (a business park). The site is being transformed into a green and sustainable urban neighborhood. VDNDP, in close cooperation with Dura Vermeer Bouw Midden West, provided the specifications of Factory, Townhouses, Lookout, Floors and America according to our methodology of specifying.
The Elements project includes over 300 owner-occupied and rental homes divided into the various blocks: Factory, Townhouses, Lookout, Floors and America. The plan includes different housing types such as: single-family homes, loft homes and luxury apartments, among others. There is also room for commercial space and a green city park.
The former Fluor headquarters will be the symbolic centerpiece of the new district. Based on a design by Elephant, the Factory block has been converted into an apartment complex with modern, industrial lofts and commercial space. Around the building the new building blocks will be realized.
With the Dura Vermeer team, we went through an intensive process. Together with the developer, project manager, cost expert and BIM engineers, we recorded the progress of the design in specifications. The purpose of the specifications was to enable the contractors to contract unambiguously. In addition, the process of drawing up specifications helped to look with fresh eyes at the integrality of the pieces and the bottlenecks that still needed to be resolved. To match Dura Vermeer's needs as closely as possible, we worked it out in phases, per building block and per product group.
