Replacing the roof, adding insulation or changing the roof shape? We make the permit-ready construction drawing and guide the permit procedure. From €699 incl. VAT, drawing planned by arrangement, across the Netherlands.
Having a new roof designed means replacing the roof, adding insulation or changing the roof shape on a permit-ready construction drawing. At Tekenpunt, replacing with the same shape costs from €699 incl. VAT, adding insulation and a roof shape change at a fixed price in your quote, delivered by arrangement (rush available for a surcharge). A roof shape change requires a permit, with a decision period of 8 weeks. You follow your entire application live in your own online file, from quote to delivery.
A roof renewal can involve replacing worn components, adding insulation or changing the entire roof shape. These are the layers and elements we document and draw.
The ridge seal prevents water ingress. We draw the junction with fixings and water barrier in accordance with the Building Decree.
The timber structure on which the roof rests. We check whether existing rafters can be reused or need to be replaced.
The timber substructure on which the roof covering rests. The foundation for a solid, level base for tiles, slates or bitumen.
Between or on top of the roof deck, depending on the structure. We recommend at least Rc 6.0 for comfort and a better energy label rating.
Ceramic tiles, slate, bitumen or zinc, depending on the roof shape and municipal requirements. We record the choice in the drawing.
Drainage of rainwater to the sewer or rainwater facility. We draw the dimensions in accordance with applicable standards.
Ventilation pipes, flue ducts and solar panel cable penetrations. Every penetration point is detailed as watertight in the drawing.
Four questions, about 30 seconds. No obligation.
Replacing a roof with the same shape, pitch and material is generally maintenance work and permit-free. We produce a clear construction drawing so the contractor can get started immediately. Request a no-obligation quote for your specific situation.
Indicative calculator. The drawing is a fixed price; the construction is carried out separately by a roofer or contractor.
Lines excl. VAT
* We provide the design and (if required) permit. The roofer or contractor who lays the roof is a separate party; that amount is a rough estimate based on ~€250 per m² of roof surface. Request a quote for the exact drawing costs.

From a direct replacement to a complete change in roof shape. We advise on what is technically and planning-wise feasible.
Replacing tiles, slates or bitumen while the roof shape and pitch remain unchanged. Generally permit-free, straightforward approach.
Adding a thick insulation layer at the same time as roof replacement. Better energy performance, lower heating costs and often subsidy available.
Adjusting ridge height, changing roof direction or converting a flat roof to a pitched roof. Always requires a building permit with aesthetic review.
A new roof is sometimes the starting point for a larger renovation. Here is how it compares to related interventions.
Permit requirements and aesthetic review criteria depend on the nature of the intervention and the status of the property. An overview of typical situations.
Example project · roof replacement + retrofit insulation · energy label C to A · permit-free
Challenge: A family in Zwolle had a mid-terrace house from the 1960s. The roof was leaking in several places and the insulation was outdated. They wanted a full roof replacement combined with additional insulation, but were unsure whether a permit was required and what Rc-value was realistic.
Our approach: We established that the roof shape and pitch remained unchanged, so no permit-required intervention was needed. We produced a detailed construction drawing with roof cross-sections, insulation thickness (Rc 6.2), new purlins and connection details at the facades. The contractor could start work immediately without further investigation.
Result: The new roof with added insulation was laid in three days. The energy label rose from C to A. The owners qualified for the ISDE subsidy for roof insulation. Drawing planned by arrangement; no permit needed.
A new roof is an ideal opportunity to invest in insulation. What you need to know about subsidies and statutory requirements.
Replacing a roof with the same shape, pitch and appearance is generally maintenance and permit-free. We assess your situation at the first check. For a listed building, consultation with the municipality is always required.
SOURCE · ENVIRONMENT ACT / BBL 2026Via the ISDE (Investeringssubsidie Duurzame Energie) you can apply for a subsidy for roof insulation with an Rc value of at least 3.5. Combine it with other measures and the subsidy amount increases. We record the Rc value in the drawing.
SOURCE · RVO.NL / ISDE 2026Good roof insulation is one of the most effective measures for a better energy label. Going from D to B is realistic with an Rc 6.0 roof. A higher energy label increases the property value and reduces monthly costs.
ADVICE · Rc ≥ 6.0 recommendedIt depends on the work involved. Replacing a roof with the same shape, pitch and covering (for maintenance purposes) is generally permit-free. If you change the roof shape, silhouette or ridge direction, a building permit is mandatory. For a listed building a permit is always required, even for maintenance. We assess your situation free of charge.
A construction drawing for replacing a roof with the same shape starts from €699 incl. VAT. For adding insulation or a roof shape change we set a fixed price in your quote. All prices exclude VAT and depend on the scope and complexity.
Yes, but this almost always requires a building permit. The aesthetic review committee assesses whether the new roof form fits the surroundings. We advise on feasibility per municipality and handle the complete application.
Under the Building Decree 2012 (Environment and Planning Act), renovation work requires a minimum Rc value of 3.5 for the roof. Tekenpunt recommends a minimum of Rc 6.0 for a fully new roof, so you meet future requirements and can qualify for a better energy label class.
We plan the drawing by arrangement; rush is available for a surcharge. If an environmental permit is needed, allow 8 weeks for the municipal decision period after submission.
Yes. We draw new roofs across the Netherlands. We handle all drawings remotely and submit any required building permit to your municipality. We know or verify the aesthetic policy for every municipality.
7 clients rated their new roof project with an average of 4,7 out of 5 stars. A few of their comments:
Fantastic experience. We urgently needed a structural calculation for a new roof. We had the documents in no time, and the municipality of 's-Hertogenbosch approved without any problems. The price was very clear upfront, no surprises afterwards.
