FAQ

Questions people ask

What does a building drawing cost?

That depends on the size of the house and the package you choose. You always get a fixed price first, before you pay anything. Send us your plot size and the number of rooms.

What do I need to send?

Your plot map or survey, your wishes (bedrooms, veranda, carport) and your budget. If you already have a sketch or an old plan, send that too.

Can I extend the house later?

Yes, if the foundation and columns are calculated for it from the start. Tell us up front and we draw it in.

Do you also work in Bonaire, Curaçao, Aruba and St Maarten?

Yes. You send everything digitally and get the drawings back digitally, ready for the permit on your island.

Do you make the cost estimate for the bank?

Yes. The complete package includes a cost estimate per item. Banks often ask for a drawing and a cost estimate for a mortgage or building loan.
