Load-bearing wall removal in Amsterdam

Your apartment and the shared building

For an apartment, provide the exact level and available sections of the floors above and below. A sales plan explains your room layout but may omit the structure. Include the VvE requirements and photographs of accessible common routes so transport and protection can be discussed together.

What to send with your enquiry

1. Your address, postcode, property type and floor, with a sketch showing the desired opening.
2. Available building drawings, earlier calculations and photographs from both sides of the wall. Mark uncertain details rather than guessing.
3. Your preferred timing and finish, including any related kitchen, flooring or service work.

Finding the relevant building records

For a property in Amsterdam, follow the official information for the address and relevant building period. Records can include proposals and later revisions; they must be compared with the current home.

Permissions for your address

Check the proposed structural alteration through the Omgevingsloket, including the technical building activity and any address-specific rules. For an apartment, also check the deed of division and VvE procedure. Local availability, permissions and the construction programme are confirmed for the actual project.
