Renovation contractor in Delft

Yes. Delft is around half an hour's drive from our base on the Doklaan in Rotterdam. Our own team drives there every day, so we don't have to farm the work out to changing subcontractors. That same team runs your project from teardown to handover.

Homes in the old town built before roughly 1920 almost always stand on wooden piles. When in doubt, a foundation survey is the only real certainty. Signs of trouble include cracks in the brickwork, doors and windows that start to stick, and floors that slope. For a major renovation we always assess the foundation first; any repair comes before the finishing.

Yes. Delft's old town has many national and municipal listed buildings and is a protected townscape. Inside, more is often possible than people think, but the council assesses any work to the façade, the window frames and the roof against heritage and design rules. We agree this in advance and arrange the environmental permit, so the work doesn't grind to a halt halfway through.

Yes, but it does shape the schedule. In the narrow streets and along the canals there is often no room for a skip or crane at the door. In that case we bring materials in with smaller equipment, hoist them in through the window frame where needed, and arrange the council exemption in advance. We factor this kind of logistics into the quote, so it doesn't become an extra cost later.

Yes. With TU Delft nearby there is strong demand for rooms, but converting a house into rooms is tied to municipal rules and sets requirements for fire safety, escape routes and sound insulation between the units. If you are renovating to let, we allow for this from the design stage rather than afterwards; that saves adjustments that would otherwise still prove necessary.

Usually yes, and that is rarely down to the craftsmanship itself. In the old town the logistics take more time, there are requirements for the façade and window frames, and in an old building something unexpected turns up behind a wall or under a floor more often. In post-war districts such as Tanthof, Voorhof and Buitenhof the construction is more predictable, and the focus lies on insulation and services.

For a standalone bathroom or kitchen usually yes, with a temporary arrangement. For a complete renovation we advise against it: the home is then without working services for weeks, and the work goes noticeably faster when we can carry on unhindered. We discuss honestly in advance what makes sense in your situation and what it means for the timeline.
