Existing vs. proposed plan
Required for permit applications, including demolition works, new elements and a clear legend (renvooi).
- Demolition/new clearly marked
- Legend, dimensions and scale-accurate
- Suitable for DSO submission

The Technical Floor Plan: Your Legal Basis for Renovation and Permits
For a municipality, a floor plan is more than room layout; it is the X-ray of your building. Without a technically correct plan that aligns with the Bbl (Besluit bouwwerken leefomgeving), your application can stall. Aboss translates your physical building into a legally coherent drawing—fit for permits, property division, or sale.
Where a real-estate sketch is informative, a technical floor plan is assessable: to scale, dimensioned, provided with a legend and standardized notation, and consistent with the other attachments in your dossier.
Technical specifications & deliverables
We do not deliver “impressions”. We deliver technical documents that are ready for submission via the Omgevingsloket (DSO), suitable for property-division procedures, and defensible in sales documentation (NEN 2580).
NEN 2580 measurement report
Accurate determination of usable floor area and gross floor area under NEN 2580 for sale, division, rental compliance or point systems.
- NEN 2580 area calculations + reporting
- Traceable measurement schedule
- For broker, notary and municipality
Installations & shafts
Integration of drainage, ventilation routes, meter cabinet and shafts aligned with dossier requirements.
- Ventilation and drainage in plan
- Technical space / meter cabinet location
- Aligned to function classification
Fire safety (critical for hospitality)
Indication of compartmentation, escape routes and door swing directions—key for notifications and operational licensing.
- Escape routes and door swing directions
- Compartmentation and required markings
- Aligned with operational requirements
Files & delivery format
You receive a PDF set for submission and communication, plus DWG for contractors, consultants and further engineering.
- PDF (permit / communication)
- DWG (execution / engineering)
- Version control and consistency
Why the municipality reviews your floor plan
Under the Omgevingswet, a floor plan must demonstrate that the building is safe and healthy. Municipal assessment typically covers daylight admission, ventilation capacity and the classification of use. Incorrect scale or missing dimensions can immediately result in an “incomplete” status and delay your project by weeks.
Aboss acts as your filter: we check whether the drawing aligns with the Omgevingsplan, relevant requirements and expected assessment questions before submission or delivery. This reduces follow-up requests, suspensions and unnecessary debate.
From measurement to an approved drawing
- On-site measurement – laser measurement with manual verification for walls, openings and heights.
- Digitization (CAD/BIM) – conversion into a digital line drawing (typically 1:100 or 1:50).
- Legal enrichment – required labels, legend, installations and standards (including NEN 2580 where applicable).
- Delivery – PDF and DWG files ready for contractor, broker, notary or municipality.
Floor plans for property division in Amsterdam, Rotterdam & Utrecht
Large cities apply strict rules for property division and room rental. Your floor plan must reflect the legal situation precisely and align with cadastral and municipal requirements to avoid penalties, corrective measures or rejection.
Amsterdam
- Division permits: high dossier expectations
- Often additional focus on fire safety markings
- Strict review of use and layout consistency
Rotterdam / The Hague
- Strict enforcement on illegal room rental
- Plan must prove the legal situation
- Reduces fine and enforcement risk
Utrecht
- Design review and historic context
- Strict control on change of use
- City-centre logistics and execution constraints
Typical projects
Permit application for an extension
Floor plans with existing/proposed, dimensions, legend and alignment with elevations and foundation details.
Property division drawings
Legal division of one building into multiple apartment rights (VvE), including measurement schedules and consistent dossier logic.
Hospitality & operational documentation
Floor plans for operational licensing and usage documentation, including escape routes, door swing directions and layout logic.
Frequently asked questions about technical floor plans
Can I draw my own floor plan for a permit application?
In practice, no. Municipalities require professional, scaled drawings (often 1:100) with legend, dimensions and standardized symbols. DIY sketches are typically rejected as insufficient or not assessable.
What is the difference between a sales floor plan and a technical drawing?
A sales floor plan is visual and informative. A technical drawing is legal and technical: it includes dimensioning, notation, installations and—where relevant—fire safety and building-physics information.
Do I also need structural calculations together with the floor plan?
If you change the load-bearing structure (for example by creating an opening in a bearing wall), structural calculations are required in addition to the floor plan. We deliver both as one integrated dossier. See also structural calculations.
How fast can you perform the site measurement?
We can often schedule an on-site visit within a few days. After measurement, we typically deliver concept drawings within about one week, depending on complexity and scope.
Start with a correct drawing.
Avoid disputes with contractors or the municipality. Put your plan on paper in a way that is technically correct and legally defensible.
