Construction drawings in Rotterdam and surroundings

Rotterdam combines post-war reconstruction architecture from the years after 1940 with pre-war residential neighbourhoods such as Hillegersberg and the harbour areas on Zuid. The post-war districts often offer scope for a roof extension or ground-floor extension, while for pre-war properties and robust flat construction a structural calculation is more often required. For listed parts and the protected Historisch Delfshaven, a stricter aesthetic review also applies.

Neighbourhoods in Rotterdam

We provide construction drawings, building permits and structural calculations in all districts of Rotterdam. Housing stock varies by neighbourhood, and with it the typical renovation and aesthetic review requirements.

CentreLargely post-war reconstruction architecture following the 1940 bombing, with much multi-storey housing where an extension or adding a storey often requires a structural calculation.
Kralingen-CrooswijkMixed neighbourhood with upmarket villa areas in Kralingen and densely built pre-war streets in Crooswijk, where extensions and dormers are frequently requested.
DelfshavenFrom the protected Historisch Delfshaven to pre-war workers' neighbourhoods, listed and aesthetically sensitive, so extra careful draughting is required.
CharloisNeighbourhood in the South with predominantly pre-war and post-war housing, where renovations such as extensions and roof extensions often require a structural calculation.
Hillegersberg-SchiebroekGreen pre-war villa and garden city neighbourhoods with spacious plots, suitable for an extension, conservatory or a rear addition.
FeijenoordDensely built city district in the South with many pre-war stairwell and ground-floor dwellings, where renovation usually involves a structural calculation.
Prins AlexanderPost-war expansion district with many single-family homes, plenty of space for a roof extension or extension.
IJsselmondePost-war garden city neighbourhood in the south with terraced houses and flats, suitable for a dormer, extension or garden addition.
NorthPre-war urban neighbourhood with narrow streets and multi-storey buildings, where dormers and extensions are common but must be structurally sound.

Aesthetic review in Rotterdam. Since 1 January 2024, Rotterdam assesses building plans for aesthetic quality through the zoning plan under the Environment and Planning Act, using the spatial quality requirements from the aesthetic policy. Stricter requirements apply to listed buildings and protected townscapes such as Historisch Delfshaven, so a permit-ready drawing that aligns with these prevents delays.
