§01 The difference

From rough sketch to approvable drawing

A construction drawing is the complete set of technical drawings the municipality needs for an environmental permit: floor plans per storey, elevations, sections and details. At Tekenpunt you get a permit-ready 2D set from €349 incl. VAT, planned by arrangement or, with rush, faster for a surcharge.

Many people submit their own sketch or an online template to the aesthetic review committee. Drag the line and see what an experienced architect does differently, and why that makes the difference between approval and starting over.

      §07 Comparison

      A permit-ready drawing, not a template

      An online template seems handy, until the aesthetic review rejects it and you can start over. This is what you get extra from an experienced construction drawing agency.

      §09 How it works

      From intake to permit package

      One fixed point of contact, a tight schedule and no surprises. Rush delivery is available for a surcharge.

      STEP 01

      Intake & advice

      By phone or digitally, approximately 30 minutes. We discuss your wishes, property type, budget and permit prospects in your area. You receive a fixed-price quote the same day.

      STEP 02

      Survey

      Measuring the existing situation via a site visit, 3D scan or your photos and existing drawings. This is where we prevent the measurement errors that online templates typically fail on.

      STEP 03

      Drawing in CAD

      Modelling in Revit and AutoCAD. Floor plans, elevations and sections of both existing and new, with NEN 2580 area calculation. You receive the first set for review.

      STEP 04

      3D + details + aesthetic review

      3D visualisation, detail drawings at 1:5 and a preliminary aesthetic review against your municipality's aesthetic policy. We catch issues here, not at the municipality.

      STEP 05

      Delivery

      Complete set in PDF (municipality) plus DWG (contractor and structural engineer). Aesthetic review corrections are made free of charge until the set is approved.

      AŞ
      Ahmet Ş.Amsterdam · Roof extension
      ★★★★★

      Fantastic experience. We urgently needed a structural calculation for a roof extension. We had the documents in no time, and the municipality of Amsterdam approved without any problems. The price was very clear upfront, no surprises afterwards.

      Sanne V.Enschede · Wall opening
      ★★★★★

      Great help with the permit application for the wall opening. The municipality of Enschede had a few questions about the aesthetic review, but they were resolved quickly.

      §10 Questions

      Frequently asked questions

      Q01Do I need a construction drawing?

      For almost every renovation: yes. A building permit can only be applied for with a complete construction drawing. Even for permit-exempt work (small rear dormer, limited extension) a drawing is advisable for the contractor and any construction mortgage. Not sure? Call or email, free advice.

      Q02What is the difference between 2D and 3D?

      2D drawings (floor plans, elevations, sections) are always required for a permit. 3D renders are not required but very useful: you see in advance what it will look like, and aesthetic review often approves faster with a good visualisation. With us you order 3D with a construction drawing, from €199 incl. VAT.

      Q03In what format will I receive the drawing?

      Standard PDF (for yourself and the municipality) plus DWG (for the contractor and structural engineer). DWG is the open CAD format readable by all construction-related software. IFC (BIM) or Revit file available on request.

      Q04What about changes?

      We deliver the drawing so that it is, in principle, right first time. Aesthetic review corrections are free of charge. If you have new wishes later, we agree up front what that means for your quote.

      Q05Can I have my own drawing checked?

      Yes, a permit feasibility check of existing drawings for a fixed price in your quote. We assess whether the set complies with the Bbl (Building Decree), aesthetic policy and appendix requirements. We often find missing details or non-compliant dimensions that would otherwise lead to rejection.

      Q06Rush delivery, faster for a surcharge?

      Yes, possible. Rush construction drawing at a surcharge: +30% for rush (minimum €236 incl. VAT) or +50% for extra rush (minimum €417 incl. VAT). Only for standard renovations, not for listed buildings or complex cases.

      Q07What does a construction drawing cost on average?

      The price per renovation type is on the rates page; you get the fixed price upfront in your quote. Use the configurator above for an indicative price, or request a fixed quote.

      Q08Do you work across the Netherlands?

      Yes. We carry out the drawings remotely and submit the building permit application to your municipality, anywhere in the Netherlands. Our home base is Amsterdam, our service area is the entire country. For every municipality we know or verify the local aesthetic review and permit requirements.

      Q09What if the aesthetic review rejects the drawing?

      We will then revise the set free of charge and resubmit it until it is approved. Because we check against your neighbourhood's aesthetic policy in advance, 90% pass first time.

      Q10Do I need to know about this myself?

      No. You provide your wishes, photos and any rough sketch; we handle the rest. You get one dedicated point of contact and everything explained in plain language, including what the municipality requires from you.

      Q11Can I request the old construction drawing of my house?

      Yes, from the municipality where your home is located: through the building archive or the building file desk, often digitally. Old drawings are often outdated and not dimensionally accurate though. For a renovation or permit we measure your home and draw an up-to-date set.

      How to request a construction drawing

      Q12What is on a construction drawing?

      A site plan, floor plans, elevations and sections to scale, with dimensions, materials and heights. For a renovation we draw the existing and the new situation. For a structural intervention a structural calculation is added.

      What is a construction drawing?

      Q13Do you also make production drawings and daylight calculations?

      Yes. Besides the permit drawing we make production drawings for construction and daylight calculations according to NEN 2057.
