CBS Renovation · commercial renovation
Renovation of offices, shops and commercial buildings in het Gooi and the Utrecht region, with one contact person from survey to handover and an itemised quotation.
An office, shop or commercial building has to keep working while the work goes on: for the people who work there, for customers and, in an investment property, for the tenant. Renovating a commercial building therefore starts with a plan that takes the use of the building into account: which part comes first, which installations have to be included and which requirements apply to the building.
We carry out such a renovation as one project. You have one contact person from the survey to handover and, after the survey, one itemised quotation that puts strip-out, structure, installations, insulation and finishing on their own lines. Requirements on fire safety, the energy label and the Dutch Building Quality Assurance Act (Wkb) are taken into the plan and the quotation.
One example of our renovation work is Meentweg 62 in Bussum, a house from 1920. More of our work is on our projects page.

This is the work that business clients can ask us to carry out. What your building needs is settled after the survey.
In an office we work from the layout to the finishing: strip-out and new partitions, ceilings and floors, electrics, heating, ventilation, sanitary fittings and painting. After the survey you receive the plan and the quotation part by part, so you can see what a new layout, new installations or simply a refresh of the workspaces involves. You have one contact person, also when several trades are on site at the same time.
We also renovate shops, storage space and other business premises: floors, walls, ceilings, installations and the finishing of the space you use. We discuss with you which parts of the building come first and how the work fits the way the space is used. If it is a new building or an extension rather than a renovation, you can read more under utility construction.
For owners and managers of investment properties and let properties we carry out renovations, for example between two tenants or to deal with the installations. The itemised quotation puts every part on its own line, so you can assess the cost part by part. In an apartment building we also coordinate with the owners' association (VvE) when its consent is needed. If the building is given a different function, for example from offices to homes, that is transformation.

A renovation can be carried out while the building is in use and people are at work. We then plan the work part by part and in phases, in consultation with you: which department or space first, which spaces are temporarily unavailable and at which times the work fits best. How this turns out depends on the building and on the work. We agree these arrangements in advance and record them in the schedule.
A renovation is a good moment to include the installations and the insulation of the building: electrics, heating, ventilation, sanitary fittings and the insulation of roof, facade and floor. We take the energy label of the building into the plan and the quotation. Which measures suit your building and what is achievable depends on the building and its starting point; we look at that during the survey.
More about insulation
Commercial buildings are subject to different requirements from homes, including fire safety and the assurance of building quality (Wkb). We have experience with these requirements and take them into the plan and the quotation. Whether a permit is needed depends on the building and on the changes. We find that out before work starts and, where one is needed, prepare the drawings and file the application.
After handover the building can stay with us for maintenance. We maintain homes and commercial properties, including let properties, with tested and proven procedures and schedules for preventive and routine maintenance and inspection programmes. After each visit you receive a report. The work we have carried out is covered by our guarantee. Renovation and maintenance can therefore sit with one contractor.

How we work
From the first survey to handover, a renovation runs in six steps.
Step 1
We walk through the building with you: the structure, the installations, the insulation and the use of each space. That tells us what is needed and what the work has to take into account.
Step 2
You receive a plan of the work and a quotation with every part on its own line, including requirements on fire safety and the energy label where they apply.
Step 3
Whether a permit is needed depends on the building and the changes. We check this before work starts and, where one is needed, prepare the drawings and file the application. Materials are ordered after that.
Step 4
If people work in the building, we plan the work part by part and in phases, in consultation with you, and agree in advance what happens when.
Step 5
We strip out what has to go, adjust the structure, renew the installations, insulate and finish the spaces. Along the way we report to you on how the work is progressing.
Step 6
The contact person you start with stays with the project until handover, and the work we have carried out is covered by our guarantee. After that the building can stay with us for maintenance.
How we run a project, from the first contact to handover, is described in more detail on our page about the process.
From the survey to handover you deal with one person, who plans the strip-out, the installations, the insulation and the finishing so that each trade can start where the previous one left off.
After the survey you receive one quotation for the whole building, with each part of the renovation on a separate line, so any change to the plan is easy to trace.
Our team of 75 engineers and tradespeople works six days a week, from the structural work and installations to the plastering and paintwork.
The work we carry out in your building, from the wiring to the finishing, comes with our guarantee.
Our roots go back to 1995. In total we have completed more than 270 projects for more than 850 clients, and more than half of our work comes from returning clients and their recommendations.
Our office is in Breukelen, at Merwedeweg 5b, and from there we work across het Gooi and in the adjoining part of the province of Utrecht. Every renovation starts in the same way: with a survey of the building, followed by an itemised quotation. Looking for a contractor to renovate a home? That has its own page: renovation for a home.
Yes. CBS Renovation takes on the renovation of an office as one project: from strip-out and a new layout to installations, insulation and finishing. After the survey you receive one itemised quotation and one contact person from survey to handover. If people work in the office, we plan the work part by part and in phases, in consultation with you. Exactly how that runs depends on the building.
Yes. Besides offices, CBS Renovation renovates shops, storage space and other commercial buildings, and investment properties for owners and managers. Different requirements apply to those buildings than to a home, for example on fire safety, the energy label and the Wkb. We take those requirements into the plan and the quotation. What applies to your building is something we discuss during the survey.
In a renovation the building stays what it is and is renewed, improved or restored: the layout, the installations, the insulation and the finishing. In a transformation the building is given a different function, for example an office that becomes homes, and is rebuilt from the shell. CBS Renovation carries out both. Which of the two suits your building is something we look at during the survey; transformation has its own page on this site.
Yes. Besides renovation, CBS Renovation maintains homes and commercial properties, including let properties. This follows tested and proven procedures and schedules for preventive and routine maintenance and inspection programmes, with a report after each visit. After the handover of a renovation the building can therefore stay with the same contractor for maintenance. The work we have carried out is covered by our guarantee.
In six steps. First a survey of the building, then a plan and an itemised quotation with every part on its own line. Preparation follows, with a permit where needed and the ordering of materials, together with scheduling with the user of the building. Then comes the work itself and finally handover, with a guarantee on the work carried out. The contact person stays with the project until handover.
That depends on the building and on the changes. CBS Renovation finds that out before work starts and, where a permit is needed, prepares the drawings and files the application. In an apartment building we also coordinate with the owners’ association (VvE) when its consent is needed. Requirements on fire safety, the energy label and the Wkb are taken into the plan and the quotation; what applies to your building is discussed during the survey.
You have one contact person from survey to handover. That person plans the strip-out, installations, insulation and finishing so that each trade can start where the previous one left off, and agrees the work with you. In a building that is in use, this includes scheduling part by part. You do not receive separate quotations per trade, but one itemised quotation for the whole job.
No-obligation quote
After a survey at the property you receive an itemised quotation. One point of contact, from survey to handover.
