Where can you find local information?
Waterlands Archief explains that a building permit can cover an entire housing block or several streets. If an address search fails, try the street without the house number and check the number range. Its building permit overview lists the periods held for the former municipalities.
Finding your home in a file for the entire terrace
A drawing covering many houses is only useful once your position is clear. For an extension, mark your house, its rear elevation and any mirrored layout. Separate later individual alterations from the original standard drawings. This helps establish which information actually applies to your home and what still needs checking.
These points help you prepare. They are not an assessment of a particular property.
Three actions to prepare your enquiry
- Check house-number ranges and any former street names.
- Mark your house type while retaining the other sheets.
- Include individual alteration records as separate files.
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.
