CBS Renovation · contractor in Eemland and het Gooi
Renovating, remodelling or extending a home in Soest, Soestdijk or Soesterberg – with one contact person for the whole project.
CBS Renovation is a building contractor in Soest, Soestdijk and Soesterberg, working on house renovation, remodelling and extensions. Building work, installations and finishing are taken on as one contract, and one person is your contact from the first visit until the keys are handed back.
In Soestdijk we fully renovated a semi-detached house on Talmalaan in 2021. A new dormer with a raised ridge created a spacious fourth bedroom on the second floor. The house also received a bathroom with a bath, a walk-in shower and underfloor heating, a U-shaped kitchen, a wooden parquet floor, several new window frames with HR++ glazing, a new boiler and new electrics. The whole house is insulated.
The first step is a survey at your home. You then receive a quotation that lists each element separately: what will be done and what it costs. Besides renovation we build extensions and take on new build. If you have moved to the Netherlands from abroad, working with a single aannemer, the Dutch term for a main contractor, means one company lines up the trades and one person answers your questions.
Dormer with a raised ridge, new bathroom and kitchen – see the project
Below, each part of the work is described with examples from Talmalaan in Soestdijk and from projects elsewhere in the region.
In a full renovation the whole house is dealt with in one go: the layout, walls and ceilings, pipework, electrics and heating, and the finishing last. On Talmalaan that included new electrics and a new boiler. At Kortenaerlaan 22 in Hilversum we renewed the electrical installation with a new consumer unit and replaced every radiator. Because everything sits in one programme, nothing has to be opened up twice. If only part of the house is involved, such as the ground floor, we work in the same way.

A dormer gives the space under the roof headroom and daylight. On Talmalaan in Soestdijk we fitted a dormer with a raised ridge, which created a spacious fourth bedroom on the second floor, large enough to serve as the main bedroom. The Meentweg 62 house in Bussum also received dormers, alongside new roof tiles and zinc rainwater goods. Roof insulation and connecting the new room to the electrics and heating are part of the same job.
An extension at the back adds living space without the need to move. The work runs from drawings and structural calculations through foundations and the shell to a finished room with its floor, heating and electrics. At Meentweg 62 in Bussum a two-storey extension went up, with the drawings and the permit application included. Eikbosserweg 210 in Hilversum was extended at the rear as well.

The bathroom on Talmalaan received a bath, a walk-in shower, a double washbasin, a toilet and underfloor heating; downstairs a U-shaped kitchen with built-in appliances went in. For a room like that we strip out, re-run the pipework, drainage and electrics, fit ventilation and do the tiling. Installation, tiling and fitting fall under one contact person, so you do not have to schedule the trades yourself.
The house on Talmalaan now has a largely new wooden parquet floor. At Neuweg 463 in Hilversum underfloor heating runs through the whole house beneath PVC flooring. In older houses the work often starts below the floor: a 1913 villa and a 1914 house in Laren each got a new VBI floor on the ground floor, followed by underfloor heating with its controls. Which floor suits your heating is something we discuss during the survey.

The right moment to insulate is when floors, walls and the roof are opened up for a renovation anyway. The house on Talmalaan is fully insulated and has several new window frames with HR++ glazing. On Engweg in Laren the windows of the whole house were restored and the sashes thickened so they could take HR++ glass. A heat pump works best in a well-insulated house; Neuweg 463 in Hilversum has one, along with ten solar panels.
More about insulation
We plaster walls and ceilings to a smooth finish, and the painting inside and out is part of finishing the project. In the 1914 house on Engweg in Laren the ceiling beams, doors, cupboards, staircase and balustrade were restored and repainted. The original wooden sliding door came back into view there as well: it had been hidden behind panels and was restored. At Meentweg 62 in Bussum we fitted and painted skirtings, architraves, window sills and internal doors.

Besides Talmalaan in Soestdijk, we have worked on houses in Hilversum, Laren and Bussum. Each card gives the build year, the floor area and the main work.
1957 mid-terrace in Hilversum, 136 m²: underfloor heating throughout and ten solar panels.
Detached villa in Laren, 200 m², 2024: underfloor heating, insulation and ventilation.
Laren, 133 m², 2024: windows restored for HR++ glass, cavity insulation, underfloor heating.
Bussum, built 1920, 149 m² before the work: heat pump, new wiring and a new garden.
1922 semi-detached house in Hilversum, 137 m², renovated in 2022; energy label A.
1957 terraced house in Hilversum, 128 m², 2021: new consumer unit, boiler and bathrooms.
That is where our professional roots lie; over 270 projects for more than 850 clients have followed.
That is the size of our team, and work goes on six days a week.
The same person answers your questions at the survey, during the build and at handover, even when several trades are in the house at once.
After the survey at your home in Soest or Soesterberg you receive an itemised quotation, so you can see in advance what each element costs.
Over half of our projects come from earlier clients or from people they sent our way, and the work we carry out is guaranteed.
The municipality of Soest is made up of Soest and Soesterberg. Talmalaan lies in Soestdijk, part of Soest, a short distance from the Soester Eng; the Soester Duinen and the Baarnse Bos are close by. Soest belongs to the part of the province of Utrecht that, with het Gooi, is where we work. The office is at Merwedeweg 5b in Breukelen. We also take on projects in the towns around Soest, from Baarn and Amersfoort to Zeist and Utrecht.
Yes. Soest and Soesterberg together form one municipality, and in Soestdijk we fully renovated a house on Talmalaan. Both lie in the part of the province of Utrecht that we cover alongside het Gooi, from our office in Breukelen. A project in Soesterberg runs the same way as one in Soest: a survey at your home first, then an itemised quotation, and a single contact person up to the handover.
The semi-detached house in Soestdijk, 140 m² on a 303 m² plot, was fully renovated in 2021. A dormer with a raised ridge added a fourth bedroom. The house received a new bathroom with a bath, a walk-in shower and underfloor heating, a U-shaped kitchen, parquet flooring, new window frames with HR++ glazing, a new boiler and new electrics. It is fully insulated, with energy label C, and outside a new gravel driveway was laid.
That depends on the scope of the work, the state the house is in and your choice of materials. A new bathroom is a different project from a house that gets a dormer, new installations and insulation. A figure therefore comes after a survey at your home. The quotation that follows puts each element on its own line, so you can see what each one costs.
It starts with a survey: we look at the house and talk through what you have in mind. You then receive an itemised quotation. Once you agree, our team carries out the work, six days a week, and you have one contact person for all your questions. The work we carry out comes with a guarantee.
Yes. On Talmalaan in Soestdijk we fitted a dormer with a raised ridge, which gave the second floor a spacious fourth bedroom. An extension is worked out from drawing to finish: for Meentweg 62 in Bussum we drew up the plans and the structural calculations, applied for the building permit and then built a two-storey extension.
Yes. Roof, floor and walls are best insulated during a renovation, while everything is open anyway. On Engweg in Laren the work included floor insulation, cavity wall insulation and HR++ glass in the restored windows. A heat pump is most effective in a well-insulated house with underfloor heating or another low-temperature system. The house at Meentweg 62 in Bussum now has a heat pump and solar panels and no longer uses gas.
We carry out elements like these as part of a larger project: a renovation, a new bathroom or kitchen, an extension or a dormer. The preparation then happens once, the floor, tiles and paint match the rest of the work and you keep one contact person. On Talmalaan the parquet and the paintwork were part of the full renovation. Tell us what you have in mind and we will suggest how it can fit into a project.
