Home extension in Amstelveen
A home extension can connect the kitchen and living room into one spacious living area. For a home in Amstelveen, we first look at the existing layout, the garden, the structure and how you want to use natural light and space. Ponto Services can coordinate the design, drawings, structural calculations, any required permit application and construction.
Tell us where your home is, what you would like to change and when you hope to start. A floor plan or photos help with the first discussion.
More living space on the ground floor
An extension is about more than extra floor area. The position of the dining table, kitchen, rear glazing and route into the garden determines how the new space works every day. That is why we start with the layout of the entire ground floor. We then consider the existing facade, load-bearing structure, foundations, insulation, extension roof and connections for electricity, heating and ventilation.
Permit check in Amstelveen
The municipality of Amstelveen refers building plans to the permit check in the Dutch Environment and Planning Portal (Omgevingsloket). This helps you check which permits or notifications your address may require. Some projects can be built without a permit, but the municipality says they must still comply with building regulations. Have the specific design and plot assessed before planning the work.

How Ponto prepares an extension
The options and permit requirements differ for each home. An initial discussion therefore does not guarantee that a plan can be built without changes.
Extension and renovation as one project
Are you also planning a new kitchen, underfloor heating or a different layout? Designing the extension and existing room together helps the connections and finishes work as one. See our complete renovation with an extension in Amsterdam Zuid as an example of a combined project. This project is outside Amstelveen.
Frequently asked questions
Can an extension in Amstelveen be built without a permit?
That depends on the address and design. The municipality refers residents to the permit check. Building regulations still apply to work that does not require a permit.
What information helps with the first discussion?
The address, photos of the home and garden, a floor plan, your preferred layout, approximate budget and schedule provide a useful starting point.
Can Ponto combine the design and construction?
We can coordinate the design, technical plans, any required permit application and construction. We agree on the precise scope for each project.
