Adding space is often cheaper than moving. A home renovation transforms a tight family home into a comfortable one without the cost of a property change. Our home renovation service handles every step: planning permission, structural engineering, foundations, structural shell, weatherproofing, integration with the existing house, plumbing and electrics, finishing and final paint. We work on single-storey rear renovation (uitbouw), side returns (aanbouw), dormer additions (dakkapel-grade work) and full second-storey additions. Most home renovation finish in 8 to 14 weeks depending on size and complexity.

Frequently Asked Home Renovation Questions

How long does a home renovation take?

Most renovation run 8 to 14 weeks from groundbreaking. Planning permission can add 8 to 12 weeks before that. A typical single-storey rear extension is on site for about 10 weeks.

How much does a home renovation cost?

Home renovation typically start at around 30,000 euro for a small single-storey rear addition and reach 120,000 euro and above for two-storey renovation. Glazing and roof type drive most of the cost.

Do I need planning permission?

Often yes, especially for rear renovation over a certain size or any second-storey work. We handle the application on your behalf and confirm requirements before pricing.

Can I live in the house during the renovation build?

Mostly yes. The existing house remains habitable until the knock-through phase (the final week before finishing). We seal the connection point until then.

Can you match the existing brick or facade?

Yes. Matching brick, render or cladding to the original facade is part of our standard scope. For older properties with unusual materials we source matching stock from the supplier where it still exists.

Will an renovation add value?

In most European markets a well-built renovation adds more than it costs. A kitchen-diner renovation can add 8 to 15 percent to property value; a loft conversion 10 to 20 percent.
