Livingroomcraftz is a platform joining different skills in design, computer science and architecture on a global basis.
Our mission
Integrated project delivery
We are a consultancy for integrated project delivery in the building industry sector. This method integrates people, systems, business structures and practices into a process that collaboratively harnesses the talents and insights of all participants:
- to optimize project results,
- increase value to the owner,
- reduce waste,
- and maximize efficiency through the entire project life cycle.
Building Information Modeling
Livingroomcraftz uses Building Information Modeling (abbreviated BIM) technologies to deliver projects using the IPD methodology. BIM covers:
- geometry,
- spatial relationships,
- light analysis,
- geographic information,
- quantities
- and properties of building components.
BIM can be used to demonstrate the entire project life cycle, including the processes of construction and facility operation.
Economic and Ecological Vision
Up to now, the building industry relies largely on traditional technologies, such as drafting and 2-dimensional CAD to create complex buildings.
Building projects in detail
By today's standards, these technologies are inefficient and prone to failure. Mistakes are costly and can have wide economical and ecological impact. Advanced new tools such as BIM give us the ability to prototype building projects in detail. Creating a 3-dimensional model of the building allows to prototype it's construction in virtual space, thereby avoiding errors before they can happen in the real world.
Our mission
Our mission is to bring excellence, customer focus environmental responsibility and economical transparency to the building industry. To do so, we utilize cutting edge technology such as BIM (Building Information Modeling) to provide our clients with Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) services.
This is our vision that we share with selected partners around the globe.
Platform for multiple talents
Livingroomcraftz is a platform joining different skills in design, computer science and architecture on a global basis.

Presentation 27 maart 2012
We were asked from the Network of the female entrepreneurs of Delft to have a look inside our lair, how we run, what we do and what LivingRoomCraftZ stands for.
So yesterday we had the opportunity to present LRCZ to 3 different groups in a time frame of each 10 minutes to speak to. We decided to present the LRCZ business model and also show them a live stream of our building prototype we currently work on. Here are some pics of our little event.

Grand opening of our new office 2011
Friends, romans and countrymen,
Thus this far down the road, 3 years of hardship, worries, sweat and sleepless nights, we finally meet on the road of owning an office. Without any funding from any bank whatsoever, I am going to be straight forward and particular about it, since, I felt many times being abandoned by the only bank I had back then, my bank simply stated to f*** off politely, ..... during the crisis.It feels to me as a great relief to be able to feel somehow stable, of course, LRCZ still struggles, of course there is no Gucci, Prada nor Vuitton in near sight (for me personally) the next 1000 years of LRCZ to come, but it does feel good, to pay the bills, without the poisonous breath of a bank breathing down my neck constantly.
LRCZ is now opening its doors to every interested BIM-er out there in the northern hemisphere, to have a sneak peak of what's going on in the world of LivingRoomCraftZ, we open our doors to everyone interested on March 12th, 2011 at 5 pm.
No worries, fine wines and snacks are served in abundance:-) De Kurk restaurant (our neighbors) are serving snack and wines throughout the evening - the eve ends about 8 o clock. Am looking forward to meet you and for everyone out there trying to crash my party - yeah - try me! greetz --vie--
