Contractor in Middenbeemster

As a contractor in Middenbeemster you build in the middle of a special landscape. The Beemster was reclaimed in the early seventeenth century and has been on the UNESCO World Heritage List since 1999, because of its strict grid of straight roads, ditches and rows of trees. Since 2022 the Beemster has been part of the municipality of Purmerend. From Zwaag we are there in about 25 minutes. We help residents with renovations, extensions and restoration, with respect for what is already there.

Contractor in Middenbeemster, a World Heritage site

World Heritage status does not mean nothing is allowed. It does mean the municipality looks closely at how plans fit into the landscape and the village scene. What is possible on your plot is set out in the zoning plan (omgevingsplan). So have your plans checked early, with the municipality or through the Omgevingsloket. You can read how that works in permits for a renovation.

If you wish, we take that preparation off your hands, including the drawings. That way you know where you stand before construction begins.

Farmhouses, older homes and newer neighbourhoods

In and around Middenbeemster you will find traditional pyramid-roofed farmhouses (stolpen), older homes along the roads and newer residential areas on the edges of the village. Each type asks for something different. With a stolp it is often about maintenance and restoration of woodwork and roof, or about cleverly dividing the large space under the roof.

With a single-family house in a newer neighbourhood, the question is usually about extra living space. An extension or converting a garage into living space are proven solutions.

• Restoration of woodwork, roofs and facades
• Layout of the space under the roof of a farmhouse
• Extension that suits the existing house
• Garage or barn converted into living space
