It’s no secret that the new-construction market is under pressure. To mark the 21st edition of New Construction Sunday, De Zondag brought four experts together for a roundtable discussion, including our own Koen Hoste, strategic director and managing partner at Living Stone. Who were the other panelists?

🎙️ Bruno Carton, CEO of Dumobil, with nearly 65 years of experience in residential projects, villa construction, and complete renovations.
🎙️ Jan Lootens, Managing Director at Sibomat, the market leader in timber-frame construction.
🎙️ Rikkert Leeman, CEO of Alides, operating in Belgium, Luxembourg, and Poland.

They are hopeful, but also maintain a healthy dose of skepticism about the current situation and politics. A fascinating conversation about financing options, compact living, and “diversity in the suburbs.” “Young people are really struggling to find housing these days.”
