We assist with the application and ensure all work complies with current Dutch building regulations.

Yes, if your renovation requires an environmental permit (omgevingsvergunning), we assist with the entire application process. This includes coordinating with architects for drawings and liaising with the municipality of Groningen on your behalf. Many expats find the Dutch permit system complex, so we guide you through every step in English.

With a phased renovation usually yes; with a full strip-out rarely. Once the kitchen, bathroom and electrics come out at the same time, the basics are gone. Many clients stay elsewhere for the duration, which also shortens the programme because we can work without interruption.

Demolition and altering internal and partition walls first. Then the first-fix services: electrics, water, waste and underfloor heating, because those have to be concealed. After that plastering, floors and tiling, and finally the kitchen, sanitaryware and second fix. That order matters: services that arrive late mean chasing into fresh plaster.

For a 100 m² house we budget € 55,000 to € 80,000 in the basic specification, € 80,000 to € 120,000 mid-range and € 120,000 to € 180,000 for a high-end finish. A new central heating system adds € 2,800 to € 4,500.

It happens in older Dutch houses: damp behind tiling, damaged timber, or pipework that does not run where the drawings suggest. We report it immediately, show you what we found, and give you a price before we carry on. You decide. What we do not do is keep working quietly and settle up afterwards.

A proper Dutch offerte lists the work per item with a fixed price, states what is excluded, and names a start and completion date. Meerwerk means additional work, and it should only arise if you change something or a hidden defect appears. Ask for it in writing before it is carried out; that single habit prevents most disputes.

Where they are needed, yes. Most interior work needs no permit. Once a load-bearing wall has to go, the facade is altered or the house is extended, we handle the application and the structural calculation. For an apartment we also handle the approval process with the VvE, the owners association.
