§02 Service area

Construction drawings in Leiden and surroundings

Leiden combines a historic city centre full of pre-war brick buildings, national listed buildings and a protected townscape with more spacious post-war expansion districts such as the Merenwijk and the Stevenshof. In the old city and pre-war neighbourhoods, renovations often require a structural calculation and a careful aesthetic review, while the post-war and later districts usually offer scope for a roof extension or extension. For every type of property we produce a permit-ready construction drawing that connects with the building character of the neighbourhood.
