Renovating in Goes
The most common housing type is the terraced house (single-family home in continuous rows), followed by apartments and detached homes. The average WOZ value is 338,000 euros (2025). The construction periods 1950 to 1970 and 1970 to 1980 are the most strongly represented, but there has also been considerable construction in recent years in neighborhoods such as Goese Meer, Overzuid and Oostmolenpark. This determines which renovations are common in Goes and how best to set up an application.

Aesthetic review in Goes
The Welstandsnota Goes 2016 (in force as of 16 January 2024) distinguishes multiple quality levels: the protected townscapes of Binnenstad Goes including Oostsingel and the village of Kloetinge fall under the strictest regime, where assessment always takes place on mass, structure, scale, material use and colour. The municipality has 222 national monuments and 5 municipal monuments; the strictest aesthetic review criteria apply to plans at or near monuments. For a renovation or extension in the city centre or a protected village landscape, an aesthetic review recommendation is a mandatory part of the building permit application. We check those requirements upfront, so that 90% of our designs pass the aesthetic review first time.
How your application works in Goes
Your application in Goes 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 Goes. 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 Goes or elsewhere in de Bevelanden, you pay the same fixed price upfront.
