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.
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.
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 The former aesthetic review policy from 2019 has been replaced by this policy with the arrival of the Environment and Planning Act, which falls under the temporary zoning plan.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.
Your application in Schiedam follows fixed steps: a free intake, the design with an aesthetic-review check upfront, the structural calculation by our own structural engineer where needed, and then we submit the environmental permit to the municipality of Schiedam. We do the drawing work 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 Nieuwe Waterweg region, you pay the same fixed price upfront.
Since the Environment and Planning Act (Omgevingswet, 1 January 2024) you apply for an environmental permit via the Omgevingsloket. Some renovations are permit-free, others require a permit. Permit check included: if a permit turns out to be required, we submit it for you for €200 incl. VAT + municipal fees (set by your municipality).
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.
Alongside standalone drawing prices, we have three fixed packages: Drawing, Drawing + structural calculation and Complete (including submitting the environmental permit). See the packages and prices.
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.
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.
We provide construction drawings, building permits and structural calculations in all neighbourhoods of Schiedam. The housing stock differs per area and with it the typical renovation and the aesthetic review requirements.
