Have a construction drawing made in Maastricht

Permit-ready drawings for Maastricht and surrounding area

Maastricht heeft een uitzonderlijk rijke woningvoorraad: de historische binnenstad telt ruim 1.677 rijksmonumenten en bestaat grotendeels uit panden in mergelsteen en baksteen, traditionele bouwmaterialen die de stad haar warme, mediterraan aandoende uitstraling geven. Een bouwtekening laten maken in Maastricht kost bij Tekenpunt vanaf €445. We leveren vergunbare bouwtekeningen, omgevingsvergunningen en constructieberekeningen door heel Maastricht en Zuid-Limburg, meestal binnen 0-3 weken (spoed 0-2 weken), en 90% gaat in één keer door de welstandstoets.

Whether you live in Maastricht or elsewhere in South Limburg: we handle the complete process from sketch to permit. Construction drawings, building permits, structural calculations and 3D visualisations, with a fixed price agreed upfront.

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

Renovating in Maastricht

Beyond the singel ring lie post-war expansion districts from the periods 1945-1970 and 1970-1990, such as Heer, Scharn, Daalhof and Wittevrouwenveld, with ground-level terraced homes and walk-up apartment blocks. The most recent addition is Céramique, a modern urban neighborhood on former industrial land with architecturally high-quality apartment buildings and owner-occupied homes in the higher segment. This determines which renovations are common in Maastricht and how best to set up an application.

Aesthetic review in Maastricht

The Welstandsnota 2018 'Maatwerk in kwaliteit' forms the framework for all aesthetic review in Maastricht and contains area-specific criteria for the historic city centre, protected townscapes and new-build locations. Additionally, the Aesthetic Review Advertising Exemplary Book (for facade decoration and illuminated signs) and the Dormer Exemplary Book apply. For larger area developments, the municipality draws up an image quality plan per location that functions as an area-specific supplement to the aesthetic review policy. The Verordening op de Welstands-/Monumentencommissie Maastricht 2023 governs the committee's working procedures. We check those requirements upfront, so that 90% of our designs pass the aesthetic review first time.

How your application works in Maastricht

Your application in Maastricht 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 Maastricht. 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 Maastricht or elsewhere in Zuid-Limburg, you pay the same fixed price upfront.

Do you need a permit in Maastricht?

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 Maastricht 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.
