Sustainable Housing in Furesø Municipality
Furesø Municipality in North Zealand is actively working to increase sustainability in its services and planning. In connection with a project where the municipality was the developer of a residential facility for citizens with special needs, project manager Rikke Schønberg Bojesen chose to use Openframe to make the process simpler and easier to manage.
Openframe was chosen because the platform is designed to handle this type of project and because Rikke and her team needed a powerful tool capable of handling many actors and many stakeholders.
Sustainable construction in municipalities
The team responsible for the project had not worked much with sustainability, so Rikke Schønberg Bojesen decided to try Openframe to see if it could make the process easier for them.
The project was priced at 20.5 million DKK, it had to be sustainable and made of wood, which posed a number of challenges in terms of planning and execution. The team needed to implement DGNB and ensure they met the desired certifications, and since they didn’t have a dedicated tool for this process, they chose Openframe.
Because it was a municipal project, and because the project was targeted at citizens with special needs, there were many requirements and wishes that had to be met.
New tools can represent a big challenge, but for Rikke and her team it was easy to implement and use Frame.
It only took a few hours with expert guidance from one of Openframe’s advisors and the team was up and running using Openframe in their daily work.
It made it easy for the team that Openframe is designed to be intuitive and easy to work in. This allowed them to quickly get on with the important parts of the project and not have to spend time on workflows that were not relevant.
Openframe helped the team keep track of the many actors and stakeholders in the project, as well as all the construction and sustainability documentation involved in a large project. By using Openframe, communication, workflows and overview became simpler for all participants, and the project went from stage to stage without problems.
By using Openframe, Furesø Municipality has made it cheaper and easier to work with DGNB-certified buildings, which can help make future buildings greener. It has also meant that Openframe will be chosen next time there is a major project with sustainability and DGNB requirements.
