FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Do I need an environmental permit?
That depends on the type of work, the location and the dimensions. A good first step is the official permit check (Vergunningcheck) in the Omgevingsloket; we then assess your specific situation.
What does it cost?
The price depends on scope, complexity, level of detail and timing — from a simple line drawing to a complete permit procedure. You receive a quote without obligation beforehand.
Which area do you cover?
Mainly Amsterdam and the surrounding area, and elsewhere in the Netherlands on request.
How do I get started?
Send the address, a short description of your plan and any photos or existing drawings via the contact page. We will reply with a proposal for the next steps.
