Message you can send

Hello, I want a quote for [kitchen / extension / repair] at [address]. Please send a written scope, prijs and KvK. I speak English.

Permits

Many extensions need an omgevingsvergunning via the Omgevingsloket, not via this website. The contractor should say if a permit is likely. Official check: omgevingswet.overheid.nl, checked 2026-10-09.

How to check the company

Match the name on the offerte to kvk.nl. Do not pay the full amount in cash without a factuur.
