Warehouse construction drawings across the Netherlands
Building a new shed, industrial hall or large barn? We make the permit-ready drawing and guide the environmental permit. Steel, timber or concrete. From €1,849 incl. VAT. We plan delivery by arrangement.
A shed is a newly built industrial hall, storage shed or large barn on your own site, in steel, timber or concrete. A permit-ready drawing costs from €1,849 incl. VAT at Tekenpunt and is delivered by arrangement (rush available for a surcharge). New construction almost always requires a permit, after which the municipality has 8 weeks to decide. You follow your entire application live in your own online file, from quote to delivery.
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.

1
Roof with skylights
Pitched or lean-to roof, clad with sandwich panels or corrugated sheets. Rooflights provide daylight without additional window frames.
2
Steel or timber structure (trusses)
The load-bearing skeleton of the warehouse. Steel portal frames for large spans (15-40 m), timber frame for smaller sheds up to approximately 400 m².
3
Overhead door / roller door
The primary access for vehicles and machinery. We size the door opening based on intended use.
4
Facade cladding
Sandwich panels or corrugated sheets in steel or aluminium. Determines insulation value, fire class and appearance.
5
Office or canteen roof extension
Optional: an internal office or canteen in light steel construction or system walls, separately ventilated and heated.
6
Foundation / concrete floor
Concrete pads under the uprights, connected by a reinforced concrete floor. Carries the weight of the structure and its use (forklift, storage).
§02 Quick check
Do you need a building permit?
Four questions, about 30 seconds. No obligation.
1
What will you use the warehouse for?
2
What is the floor area of the warehouse?
3
What does the zoning plan / zoning plan contain?
4
What type of structure do you have in mind?
✓ Permit almost certainly required, we handle that
A new build warehouse almost always requires a building permit. We check the zoning plan, assess the structure and handle the complete application. From €1,849 incl. VAT for the drawing. Request a no-obligation quote for your exact situation.
§03 Costs
Calculate your warehouse price
Indicative calculator. The drawing is a fixed price; the build costs are a rough indication based on standard m² rates for a shell steel structure.
The build itself is then handled by a contractor (not by us):
Construction costs warehouse (shell)± €90,000
* We handle design and (if desired) building permit and structural calculation. Construction is carried out by a contractor or warehouse builder; that figure is a rough indication based on typical build costs. Request a quote for exact drawing costs.
Amounts shown are incl. VAT (consumer price); the amount below the total is the amount without VAT. Your personal quote always shows the exact total price.Amounts shown are excl.

§05 Three variants
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.
Warehouse shell
A steel portal frame structure with sandwich panels. No internal office space. Fast, efficient and the most common construction method.

SITE PLAN
SKETCH
DRAWING
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: Environmental permit granted within 8 weeks. The contractor could start straight away. Total Tekenpunt costs: the fixed price from the quote. The shed is now built.
§09 Regulations & tips
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 2024
Structural 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 ACT
Business 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.
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 €1,849 incl. VAT. 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 plan the drawing by arrangement; rush is available for a surcharge. The municipal decision period for a regular environmental permit is 8 weeks. For larger or complex projects an extended procedure of 26 weeks sometimes applies.
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.

Very professional firm. The construction drawings for our new-build shed were highly detailed. Exactly what we were looking for, and the contractor could get straight to work.
