Inspiration

BAM and over twenty partners aim to inspire future home owners with Homestudios. They’d also like to facilitate them to personalise their homes, and to do their interior decorating. Homestudios takes you on a journey. From your first orientation on the market, right up to the moment you’ll receive the keys to your new home. With always the right expert at the right moment. Homestudios, in short, helps you make your new house into your new home.

Online preview

This journey begins online, in My Homestudios. As a prospective home buyer you’ll get an online preview. As soon as you have found the home of your choice – congratulations! – you’ll have access to a personalised online account. This is an easy and accessible overview of all options and relevant information. 24/7, regardless of your location.

Personal home coach

Time has come for your visit to Homestudios, by invitation. This is where you’ll go through five studios, guided by your personal home coach, working on your new home in an interactive five-step programme. Explore your options, from extension to kitchen units, and from lighting to furniture. You’ll be amazed at what options are eligible for finance, too, thanks to some smart solutions.

Five steps

Homestudios offers five studios for its visitors, that take them through their personalised home journey.

1. Personal creation studio. Welcome at Homestudios! And excuse us for barraging you with questions, in order to make your journey as personal as possible. This studio is also where you’ll return after completing the Knowledge Studio, Inspiration Studio and the Cooking Studio, to ‘build’ your new home.

2. Knowledge studio. This is where you’ll get insight into the laws of interior, exterior and decorating. You’ll discover what to look for, how to look, and how to make even better choices for the build, finish and decoration of your home. This is also where you’ll find a basic home shell detailing all structural options.

3. Inspiration studio. Eleven life-sized fully decorated houses highlight BAM’s eleven home styles. A rich source of inspiration when it comes to choosing lighting and decoration.

4. Cooking studio. Under the watchful eye of a chef you’ll discover what choice of kitchen suits your needs. We’ll also cook you lunch as a bonus.

5. 3D-studio. This is where you’re shown the results of your visit to Homestudios. We’ll visualise all of your choices on structure, finish and decoration. It’s like you’re already walking around in your new home!

Personal and high-tech

Homestudios builds on a combination of its personal home coaches and high-tech visualisation means. You’re able to store any choice, information or note on a tablet you’ll receive when arriving at Homestudios. This enables you to review all information afterwards from the comfort of your own home.

Result

The opening of Homestudios marks a leap forward in customer service. Where customers used to make choices based on technical drawings and samples alone, they are now offered maximal support with looks, feels, smells and experience. A complete home experience even before their new houses are built, with professional coaching. For BAM this results in more efficient home sales, higher customer satisfaction and simplified sales for additional works. The majority of customers for instance buy their kitchen at Homestudios. That’s not even counting the spin-off and publicity for the brand. Word of mouth is a powerful advertising channel for prospective buyers.
