As one of the largest housing associations in Groningen, Nijestee regularly carries out renovation and sustainability projects. These projects bring along a lot of work and inconvenience for residents. KeyPro was brought in to fully take care of furnishing temporary rest and guest homes. Thanks to this collaboration, Nijestee was able to offer residents a fully furnished guest home during renovations, where they could stay without any worries.
In the past, Nijestee furnished temporary guest homes with their own stock of furniture. This turned out to be inefficient and impractical. Managing the furniture took up a lot of space, and items were often missing, which caused delays in the process. Neighborhood coordinator Victor Weisenbach found it time-consuming and started looking for a solution that would save time while guaranteeing quality.
KeyPro offered complete peace of mind: “It’s as simple as making a call, ticking off a list, confirming, and scheduling a delivery date. It really couldn’t be easier.”
We assessed what was needed to optimally furnish the guest homes.
We carefully chose the furniture and accessories most suitable for guest 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.
Housing association Nijestee, with neighborhood coordinator Victor Weisenbach, faced the challenge of furnishing guest homes without having to manage the furniture themselves. KeyPro offered a complete solution by fully taking over the furnishing process. Previously, Nijestee furnished these homes with their own furniture, which proved impractical and took up a lot of warehouse space. Now, KeyPro ensures the process runs seamlessly.
The collaboration between Nijestee and KeyPro has led to some impressive outcomes. Thanks to the smooth furnishing of the guest homes, residents were able to stay in temporary housing during renovations without any problems.
Number of homes: Over the past few years, more than 60 guest homes have been furnished.
Benefits for residents: The guest homes were fully furnished, meaning residents only had to bring their personal belongings. This gave them peace of mind during the major renovations in their own homes.
Benefits for Nijestee: By working with KeyPro, Nijestee could fully focus on the renovations and neighborhood management, while the furnishing of guest homes was completely outsourced. “Thanks to KeyPro, I no longer have to worry about that,” says Victor.
Benefits for Nijestee’s project team: The project team experienced less pressure, as the complete furnishing of the guest homes was taken over by KeyPro.
Quick response and flexibility: As a team, we were able to furnish homes at short notice and provide fast solutions in unexpected situations.
Complete peace of mind: From selecting furniture and on-site installation to interim and final cleaning, KeyPro took care of everything.
Victor particularly valued KeyPro’s speed and flexibility: “When we handled it ourselves, things were sometimes missing and had to be purchased afterwards. Thanks to KeyPro, I no longer have to worry about that.”
Weisenbach also emphasized that KeyPro’s support not only improved planning but also increased resident satisfaction: “The guest homes are fully furnished, so residents only need to bring a suitcase. This makes their stay much more pleasant during renovations.”
“I often have last-minute requests or incidents where more furniture turns out to be needed. KeyPro senses when the pressure is on, and they always try to make something happen.” According to him, this service is crucial to the success of their projects.
In a long-term collaboration like this, where multiple homes were furnished, it is essential to work with a dedicated team of experts. For the partnership with housing association Nijestee, the following key players were involved:
Ruben – Project Manager, responsible for overseeing and coordinating the projects.
Joseph-Jan – In-house Housing Consultant, responsible for communication with the housing association as well as delivery and installation on site.
Victor (Nijestee) – Client and decision-maker within this project.
