Young people take matters into their own hands: working with their own tractors on future homes

Future residents of new homes in Creil, Flevoland, are conducting their own ground preparation work, saving thousands of euros. Seven row houses are being built, primarily purchased by young people. Instead of hiring a contractor, the residents are using their own agricultural machinery to complete the groundwork, which is expected to save them over €11,000. The homes are being developed through Collective Private Commissioning (CPO), allowing residents to choose their architect and contractor, thus reducing costs. The groundwork is set to be completed by Friday, with construction expected to start soon and the houses ready in a year.
