R<THINK, efficient and user friendly

In addition to the production of construction site housing, Brouwer focuses with Brouwer Prefab on the production of a unique proprietary praefabricated interior wall system for serial housing construction.

Adapting to construction industry challenges

The world around us constantly changes. Sustainability, smart handling of labor shortages, and improved efficiency represent important themes for today's construction companies. These same themes guide our principles when designing precast interior walls: sustainable, faster, lower costs, and less waste.

Essential EPDs and MKI scores in today's market

In today's market, an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) is essential, and a low MKI score determines customer decisions. Thanks to R<THINK, we prepare LCAs ourselves, leading to significant savings in time and costs.

Moreover, R<THINK provides us with the knowledge needed to make our products more sustainable. This creates a domino effect where our suppliers are also encouraged to take sustainable steps.

User-friendly software with expert support

The R<THINK environmental software is extremely user-friendly, but requires the necessary theoretical knowledge. R<THINK's proactive sharing of knowledge and expertise ensures that we continuously develop and broaden our skills, knowledge, and expertise in the field of LCAs. This creates an extremely pleasant and constructive cooperation.

Leading sustainability within Klein Group

Brouwer is the first Klein Group member to start performing LCAs using R<THINK. However, R<THINK also provides opportunities for other companies within the Klein Group, including Rc Panels (facade elements).
