Housing associations in the Netherlands have been tasked with making a huge number of homes more sustainable. “We need to upgrade older energy labels to A, or in some cases B. Ultimately, it’s all about sustainability. But just as important is guiding our tenants through the process. We want to support them as best we can throughout the entire renovation project,” explain Annie and Rina from Lefier. After all, tenants experience a lot of disruption when living in a home that is being renovated.
For Lefier, managing temporary rest and stay homes was a complex logistical challenge. When residents had to be relocated due to renovations or maintenance, it came with a wide range of tasks: organizing home visits, furnishing rest and stay homes, coordinating accommodation schedules, and planning cleaning services. A complicated process where even small changes in the schedule could disrupt the entire project. Lefier needed a solution to take part of this workload off their hands — and that’s why they turned to KeyPro.
We inventariseerden wat nodig was om de logeerwoningen optimaal in te richten.
We carefully selected the furniture and accessories most suitable for these homes.
In addition to furniture, we provided finishes, fast delivery, and a complete setup.
Once the rental period ended, we neatly disassembled everything and collected the furniture.
The Result
The collaboration between Lefier and KeyPro has fully optimized the process of furnishing guest homes. Even unexpected challenges during projects are now resolved effortlessly.
Number of homes: Over the past years, KeyPro has furnished more than 200 homes, including several apartment complexes. This included both tenants who had to move temporarily due to renovations and students moving into one of the student complexes.
Benefits for residents: The guest homes were fully furnished, so tenants only needed to bring a suitcase with clothes. If something in the home broke, KeyPro was responsible for repairs. The team was proactive and quick to respond. “When a washing machine breaks down or the internet doesn’t work, all you have to do is call and it gets sorted.”
Benefits for Lefier: With KeyPro taking care of quick deliveries and replacements, Rina and Annie no longer had to worry about this part of the project. “After a delivery or replacement, we always receive a neat follow-up. For example: ‘We’ve been there and it’s resolved.’ This really helps us a lot in managing this part of the project,” they explain.

As a Renovation and Relocation Project Officer, it is incredibly important to work with partners you can rely on. Projects like these run on tight schedules and depend on multiple parties. For Lefier, one of the key advantages was the strong collaboration and the fact that this part of the project was completely taken off their hands.
“This not only benefits us, but also the tenants. Everything in the guest home is fully arranged and available, from furniture to working appliances. It’s reassuring to know that tenants don’t have to worry about anything and only need to bring their personal belongings,” says Annie.
“KeyPro is a reliable partner we can always count on. Agreements are kept, which is incredibly important for us as a partner. But tenants are also very happy with the furnished homes. We often hear from them how much they appreciate that everything is taken care of.”
For this project, it was essential to work with a dedicated team of experts. The following KeyPlayers were involved:
Joseph – Responsible for communication with Lefier, as well as delivery and installation on site.
Denis – Managed scheduling and took part in delivery and on-site installation.
Lefier Groningen – Annie and Rina, both Project Officers for Renovation and Relocation, responsible for sustainability projects.
