Home remodeling with a single point of contact from start to finish
Do you want to tackle multiple spaces, change the layout, or completely renovate your home? Then various tasks quickly come together. Especially with a larger renovation, it is important that construction, building, carpentry, and finishing are carried out in the right order.
Van Der Hart Timmerwerk handles complete renovations while keeping an overview of the entire project. We discuss what you want to change in advance, map out the work, and ensure that the various components fit together seamlessly. This way, you don't have to chase after different parties yourself and you have a single fixed point of contact during the renovation.
- Complete renovation tailored to your home
- Construction and carpentry within a single project
- A single point of contact during the renovation
- Clarity on planning and execution
Integrate various remodeling plans into a single whole
Perhaps you want to make the living room more open, relocate the kitchen, redesign the upstairs rooms, and tackle outdated elements all at once. When multiple wishes come together, it is often smarter to look at them within a single renovation plan rather than tackling each space individually.
That prevents work from getting in each other's way later on. For example, you wouldn't want to tear open a new finish because a structural adjustment turns out to be necessary afterwards. For a complete home renovation, we therefore look at the big picture first.
We look at the existing home, discuss how you plan to use the house in the future, and determine what work is required for that. In this way, we work from a single plan toward a home where the layout, structural modifications, and finishes are well-aligned.
What can you change when you have your house renovated?
Every home and renovation is different. That is why we first look at what you want to change, which rooms you want to tackle, and what work is required for that. This results in one clear plan for the complete renovation of your home.
Completely renovate the ground floor
The ground floor is often where the most wishes come together. Think of a different layout, wider doorways, combining spaces, or rebuilding and finishing walls and ceilings. We look at how the new layout can be implemented structurally and remain practical for daily use.
Change the layout of the house
An existing floor plan does not always fit how you want to live anymore. By moving walls, enlarging openings, or connecting spaces differently, the same floor area can be utilized much better. For load-bearing parts, we look in advance at what constructive solution is needed.
Tackling multiple floors at once
Don't you just want to change the downstairs, but also bedrooms, attic or other parts of the house? Then we can plan work on multiple floors within a single renovation. This way, demolition, construction, carpentry and finishing can be carried out in a logical order.
Renovating and expanding at the same time
A complete renovation can also be combined with extra living space. For example, when you reconfigure the ground floor and simultaneously want to make the living room or kitchen larger. This allows the existing home and the new extension to be designed directly as a single entity.
From loose wishes to a single renovation plan
Every home and renovation is different. That is why we first look at what you want to change, which activities are related, and what is structurally necessary. From there, we create one clear approach for the complete project.
A renovation that fits the way you want to live
Completely renovating a house is not just about what needs to be removed or rebuilt. The most important question is what you want to achieve with the home. Do you want larger living spaces, a more logical layout, more light, or simply to make multiple spaces usable again?
Based on those wishes, we examine the existing construction and determine which adjustments are necessary. In doing so, we take into account existing dimensions, connections, and components that will be retained. Especially in older or previously renovated homes, this regularly calls for solutions that do not come from a standard size.
With our own custom woodwork can we include constructive connections, finishing trims and other details directly within the renovation. This way, the rough structural work and the final finish will connect better with each other.
Renovate house or completely remodel?
Renovating and remodeling have a lot of overlap, but the starting point is often different. With a renovation, the emphasis is primarily on repairing and renewing existing parts. With a complete remodeling project, usually more changes are made to the layout, construction, or the way you use the home.
Think for example of removing or moving walls, enlarging openings, redesigning multiple floors, or combining existing spaces with new living space.
Do you mainly want to restore and renew existing parts without significantly changing the layout of the home? Then view our options for a renovation of your home.
Do you have plans that fall somewhere between a renovation and a remodeling project? During a site visit, we will focus primarily on the work that is actually needed. Ultimately, the name of the project is less important than proper execution.
What customers say about us
A complete renovation has a temporary major impact on your daily life. Then you want to know that agreements are clear, the various tasks are well coordinated, and you know who to contact with questions. That is why we like to let our customers tell you themselves how they experienced working with Van Der Hart Timmerwerk.
Your complete home renovation well coordinated
During a major renovation, many tasks are interconnected. For example, an opening in a load-bearing wall must be prepared before new walls and ceilings are finished. Dimensions, door and window frames, structures, and finish carpentry must also be taken into account at the right time.
Van Der Hart Timmerwerk takes care of construction and carpentry work and keeps an overview of the various components within the project. This way, a renovation does not have to consist of all kinds of separate jobs.
- Preparatory and demolition work
- Constructive adjustments and breakthroughs
- Redesigning and rebuilding spaces
- Adjust or renew walls and ceilings
- Installing or modifying window frames, windows and doors
- Insulation within retrofitted structures
- Carpentry and custom work
- Interior woodwork and structural finishing
- Coordination with other disciplines within the project
- Connection of new parts to the existing home
Do you also want to create more square meters during the renovation? Then we can, for example, home extension or a extension include in the overall plan.

How much does it cost to completely renovate a house?
The costs of a complete renovation vary greatly per home and plan. A renovation where mainly the layout and finish change requires a different investment than a total renovation with structural breakthroughs, an extension, and custom work across multiple floors.
The existing home also has an impact. In the case of a house that has been modified multiple times in the past, the structural situation may differ from what is visible on old drawings. Therefore, during the preparation phase, we try to determine as accurately as possible what is needed before the execution begins.
Therefore, we do not work with a single general price for completely renovating a home. During a site visit, we discuss your plans, look at the existing situation, and map out the work. From there, we can create a quote that matches the actual scope of the project.
What choices determine the cost of a renovation?
The final investment is determined, among other things, by:
- The scope of the complete renovation
- The number of rooms and floors
- The condition of the existing home
- The amount of demolition and preparatory work
- Constructive adjustments and breakthroughs
- Possible extension of the house
- Material choices
- The amount of architectural finishing
- Any additional work that proves necessary after opening existing structures
Do you need a permit to renovate your house?
Not every renovation requires an environmental permit. Which rules apply depends on the work and your home. During a complete renovation, for example, structural changes, alterations to the exterior, or an extension may be part of the project.
Even when a specific part may be carried out without a permit, building regulations still apply. In addition, depending on the project, there may be a notification or information requirement. For structural modifications, construction drawings and calculations may also be required.
Therefore, check in advance via the Permit check of the Environment and Planning Portal what rules apply to your address and renovation plans. During the preparation, we map out which construction steps are necessary before execution can begin.

How we tackle a complete renovation
The larger the renovation, the more important it becomes to align choices properly in advance. We therefore begin with your wishes and the existing home. Next, we map out which rooms are changing, which structural work is required, and in what order we will carry them out. This creates a single schedule for the project, so you know what the next step is during every phase.
Step 1 – Application and introduction
You let us know what you have in mind, big or small. We will contact you to discuss your wishes, ideas, and expectations.
Step 2 – Site Visit
We will visit you to inspect the home and the available space. This gives us a clear picture of the current situation and allows us to provide targeted advice on the possibilities.
Step 3 – Proposal and non-binding quote
Based on your wishes and the situation, we will create a clear proposal. You will receive a non-binding quotation in which the discussed work is clearly described.
Step 4 – Design and preparation
Following approval, we will elaborate the plans further. We will coordinate the construction, materials, schedule, and necessary preparations with you, ensuring everything is clear before we start.
Step 5 – Construction and finishing
Our team realizes the expansion and ensures that the various activities are well-coordinated. During execution, we will keep you informed of the progress.
Step 6 – Delivery
Upon completion, we will review the work together. We will check the execution, discuss any points of attention, and ensure a neat delivery of the new space.

Frequently asked questions about remodeling a house
Where do you start when you want to renovate your entire house?
Start by determining what you want to be able to do differently after the renovation than you can now. Which rooms need to change, do you want extra living space, and which components need to be addressed in any case? After that, you can look at which construction activities are structurally interrelated. In the case of a major renovation, a single master plan prevents choices made per room from working against each other later on.
In what order do you renovate a house?
The exact order varies per project, but broadly speaking, preparation, demolition, and structural work are carried out first. This is followed by the technical and architectural construction, and only later by the finishing carpentry and visible finishes. The most important thing is that work that disappears behind walls, ceilings, or floors is completed before they are finally finished. This is also a recurring question in current search results surrounding home renovation.
How long does a complete home renovation take?
That depends heavily on the scale and complexity. Reorganizing a single floor requires a different schedule than completely renovating a house where multiple floors, structural changes, and an extension are combined. Preparation, permits, and delivery times can also affect the total lead time. Therefore, we create a custom schedule for every project.
Can you continue to live in the house during a total renovation?
That depends on how many rooms are being renovated at the same time. During a phased renovation, it can sometimes be possible to stay in the home. If the kitchen, bathroom, multiple floors, or large parts of the house are being renovated simultaneously, staying somewhere else temporarily may be more practical. Before starting, we will discuss which parts of the house will remain usable during each phase.
When do you need a structural engineer during a renovation?
For changes to the load-bearing structure, a structural engineer may be necessary. Consider the removal of a load-bearing wall, the creation of a larger opening, or other adjustments where the forces within the home change. A structural engineer then calculates how the new situation can be safely accommodated. This topic is also clearly reflected in current search results surrounding major home renovations.

Perhaps while making the renovation plans it becomes clear that you want to change more than just renewing existing parts. Van Der Hart Timmerwerk can combine various construction and carpentry work within one project.
