Where can you find local information?
Stadsarchief Almere handles building files through 1998. Later documents use the municipality’s building archive access route. Check both the original construction date and any later roof alteration date, as these may fall in different record periods.
Considering solar panels with the existing roof build-up
For solar panels, provide the layout and available fixing or ballast information. Also mention insulation, a green roof or equipment already installed. The structural enquiry concerns the combined situation, not simply the weight of one panel. Request the original roof calculations if present in the file.
These points help you prepare. They are not an assessment of a particular property.
Three actions to prepare your enquiry
- Include the supplier’s layout and system information.
- Record known changes to the roof build-up.
- Ask for original roof calculations and details.
What scope fits your proposal?
Send the records you have found together with your proposed changes. We discuss the calculations, structural drawings and any additional information required. An archive record describes a documented situation; its correspondence with the current building needs assessment. The quotation defines the work and price.
Check permits and other consents separately for the project address. Our structural approval guarantee covers additions to our own documents within the agreed scope. The municipality decides on planning and permit approval.
