Permit-ready drawings for Amersfoort and surroundings

Amersfoort combines a historic city centre with large-scale post-war and VINEX expansions, including Kattenbroek from the early 1990s (known for its thematic architecture) and Vathorst, where approximately 11,000 homes have been built since 2001. A construction drawing in Amersfoort starts at €595 with Tekenpunt. We deliver permit-ready construction drawings, building permit applications and structural calculations throughout Amersfoort and the Eemland region, usually within 0-3 weeks (urgent: 1-2 weeks), and 90% pass the aesthetic review first time.

Whether you live in Amersfoort or elsewhere in the Eemland region: we handle the complete process from sketch to permit. Construction drawings, building permits, structural calculations and 3D visualisations, at a fixed price upfront.

Renovating in Amersfoort

This determines which renovations are common in Amersfoort and how best to set up an application.

Common renovations in Amersfoort

Whether it concerns a dormer, a extension, a roof extension or the converting the loft: for each type we supply a permit-ready construction drawing that suits the homes in Amersfoort and the requirements of the municipality. Are you unsure whether your renovation is permit-required? In our knowledge base read what is permit-free.

Aesthetic review in Amersfoort

Building plans are assessed for a building permit against the zoning plan and the Welstandsnota 2017 of the municipality of Amersfoort. We produce construction drawings that align with these, so that the application moves smoothly through the assessment. We check those requirements in advance, which means 90% of our designs pass first time.

How your application works in Amersfoort

Your application in Amersfoort follows a fixed set of steps: a free intake, the design with an aesthetic review check in advance, a structural calculation by our KIWA-certified structural engineer where needed, and then we submit the building permit to the municipality of Amersfoort. The drawing work is done digitally and remotely, and you follow every step in your own online file, from quote to completion. Whether you live in Amersfoort or elsewhere in the regio Eemland, you pay the same fixed price upfront.

§04 Permit required?

Do you need a permit in Amersfoort?

Since the Environment and Planning Act came into force (1 January 2024), you apply for an environmental permit (planning permission) through the Environment Desk. Some renovations are permit-free, others require a permit. We carry out the permit check upfront so you know exactly where you stand.

Whether you can build without a permit depends on where the structure is located (the rear-garden zone), the height and the distance to the property boundary, and the municipality's environment and planning policy. A rear dormer or small extension is often permit-free; a roof extension, a front extension or work on a listed building almost never is. Even permit-free construction must comply with the technical building requirements of the Buildings Decree (Bbl).

If a permit is required, the standard procedure applies: the municipality decides within 8 weeks, with a one-off extension of 6 weeks. Your plans are assessed against the Buildings Decree (Bbl), the environment and planning policy, and the aesthetics committee criteria. In Amersfoort we know and check the aesthetics policy from the municipality in advance, so your design passes the assessment first time. Read more about the applying for an environmental permit.

§05 Quick check

Do the permit check for Amersfoort

Answer three questions for an instant indication of whether you can build permit-free. Based on the national rules (Environment and Planning Act/Bbl); we always confirm it with a free check.

1. What type of renovation?
2. Is the structure located in the rear-garden zone (back garden, behind the front facade)?
3. Is the property a listed building or located within a protected townscape?

Construction drawings in Amersfoort and surroundings

Amersfoort combines a historic city centre with large-scale post-war and VINEX expansion districts, including Kattenbroek from the early 1990s and Vathorst built from 2001 onwards. In the pre-war neighbourhoods and the city centre, a renovation more often requires a structural calculation and a precise aesthetic review, while the post-war and VINEX districts offer scope for a roof extension or extension. We deliver permit-ready construction drawings for both, with the accompanying structural calculation.

§08 Practice

How we approached it: roof extension in Amersfoort

A 1960s mid-terrace house in Amersfoort-Soesterkwartier received a full extra storey. The distinctive feature of this project was the narrow plot width, which demanded a precise structural solution. We delivered the design, structural engineering and building permit as a single package.
