Rob Passchier (RKN)
Rob studied architecture at the HTS in The Hague and from that moment on has been interested in the possibilities of computerisation and digitisation. He uses his analytical ability to apply calculation models to problems. If there are none or unclear frameworks for an issue, he will start there. He does not hesitate to point out unrealistic budgets to the client and he identifies risks at an early stage, so that there is sufficient time to anticipate them. Identifying bottlenecks and coming up with solutions are inextricably linked.
He has a background of more than 15 years as a construction cost consultant at a medium-sized architectural firm and a construction cost consultancy, and has gained a lot of experience with school construction, care institutions and large housing projects. Rob has been working at IGG since 2013. He is particularly interested in lifecycle costs, as these can be strongly influenced during the initiation and design phase. After all, the essential choices are made here in terms of MEP, materials, components, etc.
Sustainability is therefore logically an extension of the areas of interest, because sustainable use of materials can help to limit the lifecycle costs.
