Renovation design with a clear technical plan

A renovation needs more than an attractive design. Aboss Bouwadvies connects layout, building drawings, structural coordination and permit documentation into a coherent process. We help you understand feasibility, the agreed deliverables and the route towards construction or assessment.

What we deliver

Design and layout

We examine circulation, daylight and use of space, and translate your wishes into practical layout options.

Building drawings

Existing and proposed floor plans, elevations, sections and details are prepared for the agreed purpose: coordination, a permit application or construction.

Structural coordination

Where load-bearing elements change, drawings and structural calculations must agree. Existing dimensions, materials and supports may require investigation.

Permit documentation

We help identify the appropriate route and organise the supporting documents. The competent authority decides whether permission is required and whether an application is approved.

Common renovation questions

Load-bearing wall openings

Spatial changes may require structural calculations, steel details and a temporary support plan.

Extensions and roof additions

Design choices must fit the existing structure, foundations and project constraints.

Renovating an older building

Archive drawings, measurements, irregularities and connections need careful attention.

Comparing quotations

A clear scope makes contractor quotations easier to compare and helps identify additional work.

Our approach: from idea to technical documents

Initial review

Share your wishes, existing drawings and photographs.

Feasibility

Identify spatial, structural and permit considerations early.

Design and drawings

Develop the selected option into a coordinated drawing set.

Coordination

Align the documents with the structural engineer and other parties where agreed.

Final documents

Receive the agreed package for assessment, construction or further technical development.

Technical coordination

Changes to dimensions, foundations, facades, daylight or construction sequence can affect several documents at once. We keep design and technical information aligned. Contractor execution, site supervision and additional revisions are included only when explicitly agreed.

Frequently asked questions

When is renovation design support useful?

When you change the layout, load-bearing walls, facades or roof, or plan an extension. Early coordination helps clarify the technical consequences and required documents.

Can you provide drawings and calculations together?

Yes. The agreed drawing and structural packages can be coordinated so that the contractor and authority receive consistent information.

Can you help compare contractor quotations?

We can advise on the technical scope and comparison of quotations when this forms part of the agreed assignment.

What should I send for an initial discussion?

Send the project address, a short description, existing drawings, photographs and any correspondence from the municipality. Mention your preferred schedule.

Ready to get started?

Discuss your renovation with Aboss. We will clarify the required drawings, structural input and permit support before agreeing the assignment.
