What is a warehouse?
A warehouse is a new-build industrial unit, storage warehouse or large barn on your own land, constructed in steel, timber or concrete. A permit-ready drawing at Tekenpunt costs from €1,995 and is delivered within 4 weeks (express in 1-2 weeks). New build is almost always subject to a permit requirement, after which the municipality has an 8-week decision period.
A warehouse, industrial unit or large barn consists of a series of components that all feature in the permit-ready drawing. These are the building elements we design and draw.

Which warehouse suits your situation?
From a simple storage shell to a business hall with office space. We advise the option that fits your use, plot and budget.

PERMIT
Challenge: A farmer in Barneveld wanted a new machinery warehouse of 240 m² on his land. He had already found a contractor but had no permit-ready drawings and was unsure whether the zoning plan allowed an additional building on the plot.
Our approach: We first checked the environmental plan of the municipality of Barneveld. The plot had an agricultural designation and offered scope for an additional outbuilding. We then produced a complete set of floor plans, elevation drawings and site plan that complied with the Building Decree requirements. At the client's request, we also provided the structural calculation for the steel trusses.
Result: Building permit granted within 8 weeks. The contractor could start immediately. Total Tekenpunt costs: €2.495 for the drawings and €700 for the structural calculation. The warehouse is now standing.
What to know about building a warehouse
New build of a warehouse touches on several regulations. The most important ones listed.
Zoning plan first
New build of a warehouse is only permissible if the plot has the correct zoning designation (commercial, agricultural or storage). Where the zoning differs, an amendment procedure is required; we advise on feasibility.
SOURCE · OMGEVINGSWET 2024Structural calculation
For a warehouse larger than approximately 50 m², a structural calculation is almost always required with the permit application. We coordinate this with a certified structural engineer.
SOURCE · BUILDING DECREE 2012 / ENVIRONMENT ACTBusiness investment and tax
A warehouse for business use may qualify for the KIA (small-scale investment deduction) or MIA/Vamil for sustainable construction. Consult your accountant.

Q01Do I need a permit for a new warehouse?
Almost always yes. New construction of a warehouse or industrial building is subject to building permit requirements. In addition, the build must fit within the zoning plan: the plot must have a commercial, agricultural or storage designation. We check this as the first step.
Q02What does a drawing for a warehouse cost?
A permit-ready drawing for a warehouse or industrial hall starts from €1,995. The total price depends on the floor area, the structural form (steel, timber or concrete) and whether you also commission the structural calculation and permit application from us. Request a no-obligation quote for your situation.
Q03Which construction is the cheapest for a warehouse?
Steel structures (steel trusses with sandwich panels) are generally the most cost-efficient per m² for larger warehouses. Timber-frame construction is a good choice for agricultural barns up to around 400 m². Concrete structures are used for heavy loads or higher fire-safety classifications.
Q04Does my plot need a commercial zoning designation?
It depends on the intended use. A storage warehouse or industrial hall requires a commercial or agricultural zoning designation. If the plot has a residential designation, a warehouse is almost never directly permit-able. We check the zoning plan and advise on the feasibility of a change-of-use procedure.
Q05How long does the building permit for a warehouse take?
We deliver the drawing within 4 weeks (express: 1-2 weeks). The municipality then has 8 weeks to decide on a standard building permit. For larger or more complex projects an extended procedure of 26 weeks may apply.
Q06Do you work across the Netherlands?
Yes. We draw warehouses and industrial halls across the Netherlands: from Zeeland to Groningen, from urban plots to rural land. We handle the drawings remotely and submit the building permit to your municipality.
