Where can you find local information?
Zoetermeer’s environmental planning desk provides access to available paper drawings from before 2012. The municipality notes that files may be incomplete. Check the supplied set against its drawing register and enquire about missing documents before relying on it for design.
An additional storey requires the complete load path
A roof plan does not show the capacity of the walls and foundations beneath it. Find structural plans for the lower floors as well. List missing sheets separately in your enquiry. This allows the team to establish whether the information is sufficient or whether inspection or further investigation is required before designing the extra storey.
These points help you prepare. They are not an assessment of a particular property.
Three actions to prepare your enquiry
- Compare the received records with any drawing register.
- Request lower-floor records as well as roof plans.
- Mark known ground-floor alterations.
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.
