Renovations in Amsterdam
Most buildings in Amsterdam were built before 1900. This means that the state of most buildings depends heavily on the maintenance of former owners/residents. With regards to those old buildings we know exactly what to expect which allows for an accurate estimation of the amount of work that will go into the build. If you’re planning to renovate in Amsterdam, we suggest you go with a construction company or contractor that has its roots in the city. Choosing for Nanterre you will be guaranteed a carefree construction phase and with great results.

Building permits Amsterdam
Don’t let it put you off, but for some renovations or construction work you will need to get approval from the municipality. We got you covered though! With a track record of experience Nanterre can take care of this for you. We have successfully prepared many building permit requests and never had any trouble in getting them approved. Bear in mind that the application process can take a while. Make sure to get this process started as early as possible.
As previously mentioned, most buildings in Amsterdam are quite old. The city of Amsterdam takes pride in keeping them in good shape and will not allow anyone to make changes before their approval. Be advised that proposed changes on the facade/exterior could be met with initial resistance in particular.
Most common cases in which you will need a building permit:
- Balconies
- Rooftop patio
- Window frames
- Colour changes (Exteriour)
- Other cosmetic changes on the exterior

Maintaining original elements
Renovating older buildings is a challenge we love to take on board at Nanterre. When it comes to these kind of projects it is our mission to keep all the original elements intact, so that the exterior and interior appear untouched, yet regenerated.
The items that are most important to keep in the original state are:
- Windowframes
- decorative (ceiling) frames
- Masonry
With attention to detail and a precise eye we make sure everything looks as new, still maintaining the original character.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much will the construction work cost?
The costs for the project depends on a couple of variables. It all depends on the scope of work, the time it will take to accomplish the completion of the project and the level of quality you decide on with regards to the materials and finish. After your request we usually come by to meet you in person and talk through the whole project. After this initial chat we will provide you with a first quotation. Once you decide to work with us, a more detailed quotation, covering all the labour and material costs, will be calculated and shared with you.
Is it necessary to have drawings?
No, not necessarily. However drawings make it easier for us to provide you with an estimated price. When you don’t have drawings of the project we can assess whether that is in fact necessary for your or not. If so, we can arrange for one of our partners to assist you. Based on the drawings we are able to come up with a precise quotation. If drawings are not necessary we can provide you with a rough estimate right away, or a more detailed quotation afterwards.
Does Nanterre work with architects?
Yes, we love working with architects. A clear picture of how you envision the end result helps all parties involved in the process to realise your dream. We have a track record working with many different architects and appreciate the design process. It also enables us to provide you with a more accurate quote.
Do we need a building permit in Amsterdam?
Not always, but in some cases it is necessary. Amsterdam is a city consisting of very old houses. Some of them are listed with heritage status. In that case you would definitely need a building permit. The type of project is another determining factor as to whether a building permit is required or not. When changes to the structure are required, you will most likely need a permit.
Wondering if you need a building permit for your project in Amsterdam? Contact us and we’ll be able to tell you if it is necessary.
