The housing stock is predominantly post-war: the peak construction period falls in 1950-1970 with almost 18,000 buildings from that period, followed by expansions in the 1990s and 2000s. Characteristic of the city are the small pre-war workers' terraces in Oud-Noord and Oud-Zuid, built in the period 1880-1940 for textile factory workers, and the spaciously designed family neighborhoods in Reeshof and Noord with practical terraced houses from the 1980-2000 period, each with its own garden. The average WOZ value in 2025 was 339,000 euros, with 50% owner-occupied homes and 50% rental homes, of which 31% owned by housing corporations. This determines which renovations are common in Tilburg and how best to set up an application.

The Nota Omgevingskwaliteit Tilburg sets frameworks for building design, layout of public space, treatment of heritage and landscape management. The Environmental Committee combines the former aesthetic review committee, monuments committee and other advisory bodies into one broad committee that meets fortnightly on Wednesday mornings. For larger building plans and area developments, the committee offers pre-consultation at which applicants or designers can discuss quality requirements at an early stage. We check those requirements upfront, so that 90% of our designs pass the aesthetic review first time.
Your application in Tilburg 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 Tilburg. 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 Tilburg or elsewhere in Hart van Brabant, 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 Tilburg 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.
Tilburg is the capital of the Hart van Brabant region and the third-largest city in Noord-Brabant. The city combines a dense post-war housing stock with converted industrial areas, such as the Piushaven and the Spoorzone, and a green outer edge with villages such as Berkel-Enschot and Udenhout. As a former textile city, Tilburg has a recognisable urban structure of compact working-class neighbourhoods around the centre and more spaciously laid-out expansion neighbourhoods built from the 1960s onwards towards the north, west and south.
We provide construction drawings, building permits and structural calculations in all neighbourhoods of Tilburg. The housing stock differs per area, and with it the typical renovation and the aesthetic review requirements.
Our service area extends to the municipalities around Tilburg. There too we draw remotely and submit the permit to the correct municipality.
