Services and Specialties

The agency’s core expertise lies in designing and implementing structured resident journeys (bewonersreizen) that guide occupants through every phase of a construction or renovation project.

Who They Help

Fiks primarily serves clients in the real estate, commercial and institutional building construction, and property management sectors. The agency works with project developers, housing corporations, and construction companies that need to manage resident relations during complex projects such as woningrenovatie (home renovation), verduurzaming (sustainability upgrades), and large-scale building works. Fiks is particularly experienced in addressing the challenges of the energy transition, helping clients communicate technical changes to residents in clear, accessible ways. The agency’s B2B focus means it partners directly with construction firms and property managers rather than individual homeowners.

Approach and Methodology

Fiks takes a structured, project-based approach to resident communication. The agency develops a gestructureerde bewonersreis (structured resident journey) that maps out every touchpoint from initial notification to project completion. This methodology emphasizes laagdrempelige bewonerscommunicatie (low-threshold communication) to ensure residents feel informed and involved throughout. Fiks combines project management expertise with communication strategy, offering both consulting services and hands-on project coordination. The agency also provides communication tools and templates that clients can use to maintain consistent messaging, instructions, and updates. By focusing on bewonersbetrokkenheid (resident involvement) and bewonersrelaties versterken (strengthening resident relationships), Fiks helps prevent conflicts, reduce complaints, and build trust during disruptive construction phases.
