Het proces
Contact and inventory
The first stage of any project starts with an enquiry. By phone, e-mail or the form on our website. After this, we start the process for you. From application to initial advice and a concise plan of action.
Meet the team
Your enquiry has now arrived and we will see which team of specialists is ideal for your project. After this, you will meet individually with the parties involved.
Design phase
In many cases, together with the architect (provided by us or one you find), you arrive at a design for. the project. We are often involved at this stage to tackle any problems and suggest cost-saving alternatives if required.
Work preparation
Work preparation in construction is an essential part of the building process and ensures that the entire renovation goes as smoothly as possible. This is where we actively get to work for you. We ensure that everything is well organised in advance so that the execution phase can start without any problems.
The build
During construction, we take care of everything down to the last detail. It is now clear exactly what you want and we know how best to realise it. Unforeseen circumstances almost always arise. For this, we are in direct contact with the construction supervisor and you.
Handover and check
The handover of a renovation is the moment when the project is completed and checked. Together, we check whether everything has been carried out according to plan and as desired. Any defects or additional wishes are noted and implemented and resolved in consultation, so that the final result meets expectations.

Renovations in Amsterdam
Most of the renovations and rebuilds we perform are based in our hometown: Amsterdam. As stated before these construction jobs range from kitchens and bathrooms to complete office buildings and retail stores. Since Amsterdam is a very old city with a lot of history no job is the same and every project comes with its own challenges.
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.
Building permits in 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.
