Creative City Solutions offers fully subsidized process guidance for the sustainability of VVEs More info
The Netherlands faces a dual challenge: a housing shortage and the sustainability of existing real estate. Optoppen offers a smart solution for both issues. By building new homes on existing roofs, we create value that finances the sustainability of your building. By topping up, you make your real estate future-proof without your own investment.
Topping is adding one or more new floors to an existing building. At Creative City Solutions, we build these homes lightly and sustainably in wood, where existing residents can usually continue to live as usual. Through smart prefabrication in the factory and an efficient process, we keep the inconvenience to a minimum. The sale of these new homes can finance the sustainability of your building.
Each owner has different needs. That's why we offer various top options: from distinctly modern designs to classics with a historic look.
Many buildings need to be made more sustainable — otherwise there is a risk of high costs, for example due to foundation problems. Owners seek financing through their own contributions, loans or grants.
Topping creates value without owners having to invest themselves.
As a team of technical specialists, project managers and sustainability experts, we relieve building owners from the entire process of topping up and making it more sustainable. Whether you are a VvE, housing association or real estate investor - we develop a customized plan, arrange permits and procedures, and supervise implementation from A to Z. You are in control, we do the work.
From subsidies to innovative solutions such as topping - we cover all options to make your building more energy efficient affordably. This practical explainer shows how you can pay for the investment and what it brings: lower energy costs, a higher home value and a smaller ecological footprint. With concrete examples and explanations of available subsidies.
Connecting a topping to an existing building involves various technical challenges. From fire safety and noise control to the connection of utilities such as water, electricity and ventilation. With the right expertise and controls, we ensure a safe, comfortable and seamless connection between old and new.
What about the foundation when installing a topping? Answer to the most frequently asked question when topping: What about the foundation? Can we build on the existing foundation or are adjustments necessary? Eliane takes you through all aspects of the foundation when topping up and gives you a few practical tips!
