§02 Local
Renovating in Schiedam
The average home value in 2025 was approximately 314,000 euros. The oldest housing stock is in and around the historic city center: warehouses, former jenever distilleries and canal houses from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries define the picture, complemented by pre-war expansion neighborhoods from the 1920s and 1930s and post-war row housing in neighborhoods such as Nieuwland and Groenoord. This determines which renovations are common in Schiedam and how best to set up an application.
Common renovations in Schiedam
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 Schiedam 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 Schiedam
In the city centre and the protected village landscape of Kethel & Kerkbuurt the strictest requirements apply: the municipality asks for extra effort to preserve and strengthen the historic streetscapes and village character. For most other residential areas a light assessment regime applies whereby only obvious eyesores are excluded. The former aesthetic review policy from 2019 has been replaced by this policy with the arrival of the Environment and Planning Act, which falls under the temporary zoning plan. We check those requirements upfront, so that 90% of our designs pass the aesthetic review first time.
How your application works in Schiedam
Your application in Schiedam 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 Schiedam. 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 Schiedam or elsewhere in the regio Nieuwe Waterweg, you pay the same fixed price upfront.

§04 Permit required?
Do you need a permit in Schiedam?
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 Schiedam 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.

Construction drawings in Schiedam and surroundings
Schiedam is a compact port city in Zuid-Holland, wedged between Rotterdam and Vlaardingen on the Nieuwe Maas. The city owes its international name to the jenever (Dutch gin) industry that reached its peak in the eighteenth century and is still visible in the historic town centre with warehouses, windmills and distilleries. With over 81,900 residents in just 19.86 km2, Schiedam is one of the most densely populated municipalities in the region.
