The housing stock is heavily rental-oriented: approximately 42% is owned by housing corporations, 20% is private rental and 37% is owner-occupied. Approximately 21% of the housing stock dates from before 1945, including the monumental canal houses in the protected city center, which has been designated a nationally protected cityscape. The presence of TU Delft creates high demand for student rooms and compact rental homes, which means the average WOZ value (approximately 352,000 euros in 2025) is relatively low compared with surrounding municipalities. This determines which renovations are common in Delft and how best to set up an application.
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 Delft and the requirements of the municipality. Are you unsure whether your renovation is permit-required? In our knowledge base read what is permit-free.
The Welstandsnota Delft 2025 distinguishes three aesthetic review levels: special (for the historic city centre and protected areas), general (for regular residential areas) and light-touch (for business parks with little impact on the public realm). The Advisory Committee for Environmental Quality meets fortnightly on Thursdays at the city hall; meetings are open to the public. Anyone applying for a building permit for a development in a special or general aesthetic review area must take into account assessment of urban coherence, facade appearance and appropriate detailing, and material and colour use. We check those requirements upfront, so that 90% of our designs pass the aesthetic review first time.
Your application in Delft follows fixed steps: a free intake, the design with an aesthetic-review check upfront, the structural calculation by our own structural engineer where needed, and then we submit the environmental permit to the municipality of Delft. We do the drawing work digitally and remotely, and you follow every step in your own online file, from quote to completion. Whether you live in Delft or elsewhere in the Haaglanden region, you pay the same fixed price upfront.
Since the Environment and Planning Act (Omgevingswet, 1 January 2024) you apply for an environmental permit via the Omgevingsloket. Some renovations are permit-free, others require a permit. Permit check included: if a permit turns out to be required, we submit it for you for €200 incl. VAT + municipal fees (set by your municipality).
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 Delft 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.
Alongside standalone drawing prices, we have three fixed packages: Drawing, Drawing + structural calculation and Complete (including submitting the environmental permit). See the packages and prices.
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.
Delft has eight official neighbourhoods that differ greatly in character: the historic city centre with canal-side buildings from before 1900 sits alongside post-war apartment neighbourhoods such as Voorhof and Buitenhof and family neighbourhoods such as Tanthof and Voordijkshoorn with spacious green structures. The presence of TU Delft gives the city a young and international character that is visible in the housing market and the use of public space. For building permit applications in Delft, the aesthetic review depends on the neighbourhood: the city centre falls under the strictest aesthetic review level, while newer residential neighbourhoods on the outskirts offer more assessment flexibility.
We provide construction drawings, building permits and structural calculations in all neighbourhoods of Delft. The housing stock varies per district, and with it the typical renovation and the aesthetic review requirements.
Our service area extends to the municipalities around Delft. There too we draw remotely and submit the permit to the relevant municipality.
