Technically strong dossiers for refurbishment, permits and construction

Aboss Bouwadvies combines architectural drafting, structural calculations and permit-focused documentation in one clear process. For home refurbishments, extensions, roof extensions, wall openings and legalisation matters, solid technical substantiation is essential.

We do not work from isolated drawings alone, but from the relationship between the existing condition, the proposed intervention, structural logic and submission quality. The result is a dossier that is usable for contractor, client and municipality alike.

From first review to technically usable output

A good dossier prevents delays, corrections during construction and uncertainty towards the municipality or contractor. That is why Aboss does not work from a loose sketch, but from a complete technical narrative.

Architectural drawings

Clear drawings for permits, construction and technical coordination.

  • Floor plans, elevations and sections
  • Permit drawings and detail work
  • Existing and proposed situation

Structural calculations

Substantiation of capacity, feasibility and safe execution.

  • Load-bearing wall and steel structure
  • Extension, roof extension and refurbishment
  • Calculations for permit procedures

Permits & guidance

Technical support when more is needed than just a drawing or calculation.

  • Environmental permit documents
  • Legalisation and supplementary files
  • Coordination towards the municipality

A logical process with control over content

The right order matters. First it must be clear what exists, what changes, and what technical or permit-related consequences follow. Only then can the documentation be built in a targeted way.

Assess the situation

We review the existing condition, the intended intervention and the documents already available.

Technical development

Drawings and calculations are aligned with the nature of the refurbishment and the application.

Permit or construction

The dossier is prepared for municipality, contractor or structural review.

Ongoing support

If questions or changes arise, the documentation can be supplemented in a consistent way.

For permit procedures

Municipalities do not only check whether documents are present, but whether they are clear and internally consistent. A good set prevents additional questions, delays and misunderstandings about the intervention.

  • Clearly readable existing and proposed situation
  • Structural substantiation where required
  • Better readability for review

For construction and coordination

Even outside the permit process, technical drawings and calculations matter. They help align the plan with execution and reduce mistakes during construction.

  • Less room for interpretation on site
  • More control over dimensions and build-up
  • Better consistency between parties

Frequently asked questions

When is a structural calculation required?

This is usually required once an intervention affects load-bearing elements, stability or load transfer. Think of a wall opening, extension, roof extension or another structural modification.

Can you help with permit documents?

Yes. Aboss can align drawings, technical substantiation and supporting documentation so the dossier is better suited for an environmental permit application or a formal addition to an existing file.

What should I send with my request?

Photos, address details, existing drawings, sketches, measurements and any correspondence from the municipality help us assess the situation faster and more accurately.

Do you only work in Amsterdam?

Amsterdam is an important region for Aboss, but projects elsewhere in the Netherlands are also handled when the technical question and the project scope justify it.

Discuss your project

For refurbishment, permits or legalisation, an initial technical assessment is often the best first step. Send the available documents and we can determine faster which drawing, calculation or support is needed.
