From construction idea to implementation.
Your renovation in eight clear steps. Find out what you prepare, who you involve and which documents belong to each phase.
Visualize your renovation plan
What do you want to change and why? Note the desired space, dimensions, appearance and intended use. Immediately communicate future wishes such as solar panels or extra storage.
Result: A short project description, photos and a first sketch.
Read more about this step →Collect the existing data
Search construction drawings, previous structural calculations and available soil or foundation reports. Compare the file with the current situation; subsequent renovations are not always shown on the original drawings.
Result: An overview of what is known and what information is missing.
Read more about this step →Coordinate design and construction
Discuss the layout with the designer and have the structural engineer include the supporting structure. In this way, large openings, roof heights and material choices are coordinated at an early stage.
Result: A feasible starting point for further design.
Read more about this step →Check the rules for your address
Do the permit check at the Environment Desk. In addition, have it determined which drawings and calculations are required and whether additional permission is required, for example within a homeowners' association.
Result: Clarity about the required procedures and documents.
Read more about this step →Record the order and delivery
Agree which parts will be calculated, which drawings will be made and which investigations or activities will be carried out separately. Also record revisions and coordination during implementation.
Result: A quotation with clear content, planning and responsibilities.
Read more about this step →Have calculations and drawings worked out
The structural engineer works with the agreed design data. Ontbrekende informatie wordt eerst aangevuld. The architectural and structural drawings are then coordinated.
Result: A coordinated set of documents for the agreed next step.
Read more about this step →Prepare the execution
Discuss the final design with the contractor. Have temporary support, implementation and any supplier details agreed in advance. Order structural parts based on the correct revision.
Result: A coordinated implementation plan and current document set.
Read more about this step →Review changes and save the file
Discuss deviations with the involved designer before they are implemented. Collect relevant photos, product specifications and revisions during construction and save them after completion.
Result: A file that matches the situation carried out.
