Permit-ready drawings for Haarlem and surroundings
Haarlem combineert een grotendeels beschermde, monumentale binnenstad (beschermd stadsgezicht met circa 1.200 rijksmonumenten) met grootschalige naoorlogse uitbreidingswijken zoals Schalkwijk uit de jaren zestig en zeventig. Een bouwtekening laten maken in Haarlem kost bij Tekenpunt vanaf €445. We leveren vergunbare bouwtekeningen, omgevingsvergunningen en constructieberekeningen door heel Haarlem en de regio Zuid-Kennemerland, meestal binnen 0-3 weken (spoed 0-2 weken), en 90% gaat in één keer door de welstandstoets.

§02 Local
Renovating in Haarlem
This determines which renovations are common in Haarlem and how best to set up an application.
Common renovations in Haarlem
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 Haarlem 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 Haarlem
In Haarlem, the Adviescommissie Omgevingskwaliteit assesses building plans against the aesthetic review criteria in the Nota Ruimtelijke Kwaliteit, within the framework of the zoning plan. Additional requirements apply to the monumental city centre and the protected townscape, so a construction drawing that fits the existing architecture helps to pass the aesthetic review in one go. We check those requirements in advance, which means 90% of our designs pass first time.
How your application works in Haarlem
Your application in Haarlem 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 Haarlem. 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 Haarlem or elsewhere in the regio Zuid-Kennemerland, you pay the same fixed price upfront.
§03 What you get
What you submit to the municipality
A permit-ready construction drawing is more than just a plan. For your application in Haarlem, we provide the complete set of documents the municipality needs to assess your request.
Floor plans: existing & proposedThe existing and proposed layouts drawn to scale, with dimensions, areas and the function of each room.
Facade elevationsAll facades before and after the renovation, so the municipality can assess the streetscape and aesthetics committee requirements.

Detail & principle drawingsConnection details and structural principles as required by the municipality or structural engineer.
Structural principleWhere required, a structural overview with a KIWA-certified structural calculation if the municipality demands one.
§04 Permit required?
Do you need a permit in Haarlem?
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 Haarlem 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

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.
§06 Service area
Construction drawings in Haarlem and surroundings
Haarlem combines a largely protected, monumental city centre with large-scale post-war expansions such as Schalkwijk from the 1960s and 1970s. In the pre-war and listed building areas, a structural calculation is more frequently required and a strict aesthetic review applies. In the post-war Schalkwijk neighbourhoods, by contrast, there is more scope for a roof extension or extension.

Aesthetic review in Haarlem.

Additional requirements apply to the monumental city centre and the protected townscape, so a drawing that aligns with the existing architecture helps to pass the aesthetic review first time.
