Home extensions in Amsterdam: from design to construction
A well-planned home extension gives you more usable space while keeping the new and existing parts of the house connected. Ponto Services coordinates the design, structural planning, permit assessment and construction of substantial extensions. We look at the layout, the technical implications and the work on site as one project, with one point of contact. We work from Amsterdam across North Holland and the Utrecht region.
Design and structural planning
We begin with how you want to use the extra space and how it should connect to the existing home. The position of walls, daylight, access and installations all affect the design. Structural questions also matter: an opening in a load-bearing wall, a new foundation or a connection to the existing roof can change the scope of the work. We bring the design and technical planning together before construction begins, so decisions about layout, materials and structure can be made in context. Drawings and calculations may be needed, depending on the plan and the building.
Permits and construction
Whether an extension needs a permit depends on the property, location and proposed design. We assess the permit situation and coordinate the application where one is required. Once the scope is clear, we plan the construction and coordinate the specialists involved. The work may include groundworks, foundations, structural alterations, roofing, insulation, glazing and finishing. The exact approach depends on the house and the chosen design. Tell us about your property, location, preferred timing and approximate budget; if you already have drawings or photos, you can share those as well.
