Permit-ready drawings for Deventer and surroundings

In addition to its historic city centre, Deventer has many post-war residential districts such as Keizerslanden and Borgele, while Colmschate was largely built from the 1970s onwards as a newer expansion area. A construction drawing in Deventer starts at €595 with Tekenpunt. We deliver permit-ready construction drawings, building permit applications and structural calculations throughout Deventer and Salland, usually within 0-3 weeks (urgent: 1-2 weeks), and 90% pass the aesthetic review first time.

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

We carry out the drawing work digitally and remotely and submit the application to the municipality of Deventer. We know the local aesthetic and planning rules, so your plan passes the review first time. Where needed, our KIWA-certified structural engineer handles the calculation.

§02 Local

Renovating in Deventer

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

Common renovations in Deventer

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 Deventer 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 Deventer

The municipality of Deventer assesses renovation plans against the aesthetic review policy. Additional rules apply to the city centre as a protected townscape via an image quality plan, so a carefully substantiated construction drawing is especially important there. We check those requirements in advance, which means 90% of our designs pass first time.

How your application works in Deventer

Your application in Deventer 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 Deventer. 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 Deventer or elsewhere in Salland, you pay the same fixed price upfront.

§04 Permit required?

Do you need a permit in Deventer?

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 Deventer 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 Deventer

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 Deventer and surroundings

Deventer combines a historic, partly protected city centre with large post-war residential districts such as Keizerslanden and Borgele. In the old city, renovation often requires a structural calculation and extra attention to aesthetic review, while in the post-war and later districts such as Colmschate there is more scope for a roof extension or extension.

§08 Practice

How we approached it: listed building in Deventer

A medieval Hanseatic building in the Deventer city centre, a nationally listed monument with a rare 15th-century timber beam structure, received a habitable attic floor. We provided the building survey, the design and the full permit in coordination with the municipality of Deventer and the Rijksdienst Cultureel Erfgoed.

Please note: archive drawings are often outdated and regularly differ from the actual situation. For a permit application or renovation they are rarely directly usable.
