Refine with 3 photosIndicative Belgian market ranges for 2026 — this is not our price list. Your exact price is confirmed in writing after the free site visit, and it doesn't change after that. The 6% rate applies to homes occupied for more than 10 years, used mainly as a private residence, with materials invoiced by the contractor.
02 · Scope
From structural work
From structural work
to the final finish
One point of contact, one schedule, one invoice. We do not stack a chain of subcontractors on top of your project.
The homeowner signs the written quote after the visit, before any tool arrives on site. Each trade finishes its section and confirms the substrate is ready before the next crew enters. That sequence keeps the programme orderly and the budget predictable from start to finish.
House & period property
Renovation in phases or all at once: damp, windows, insulation, reworking the layout across floors, with a structural survey where the work calls for it.
Bathroom, start to finish
Demolition, waterproofing, tiling, sanitaryware, ventilation and electrics brought up to standard: one team, not four separate appointments.
Kitchen & knocking through
Fitted kitchens, removing a non-load-bearing wall, steel beam installation, floor openings: a structural survey first whenever the span calls for it.
Electrics & plumbing to code
Consumer unit upgrades, bringing wiring up to AREI/RGIE standard, heating and sanitaryware: our electricians and plumbers are on our own payroll.
Plans, permits & management
Architect's drawings, a planning application with your local council, and the paperwork your building manager asks for before work starts.

What will never
What will never
appear on your invoice
The most common complaint about contractors is the line item nobody saw coming. Here is what we rule out from the start.
- ✕An extra charge decided without youAny work outside the quote is costed and approved in writing before it goes ahead. No agreement, no invoice.
- ✕A surprise call-out chargeIt is in the quote or it does not exist: travel is included in the price, wherever you are.
- ✕A quote that costs moneyThe visit and the quote are free, even if you do not sign.
- ✕VAT charged at 21 % by defaultIf your home is more than 10 years old, we apply the reduced 6 % rate and prepare the certificate.
- ✕A site left half-finishedThe schedule is part of the quote. You get a photo progress update every week.

Renovating in Duffel:
what changes
Five provinces, one Flemish planning permit system (omgevingsvergunning) — but rules that have already shifted twice since early 2026.
The carpenter hands over a level, dry frame before the plasterer begins, and the plasterer signs off a cured surface before the tiler starts. Every handover is recorded in the site log so nothing is assumed and nothing is missed.
The 5 provinces we cover
Flemish Brabant
Antwerp
East Flanders
West Flanders
Limburg
07.1 · Planning permit (omgevingsvergunning)
Exempt since 1 March 2026 — not 'coming soon'
Since 1 March 2026, most interior work is exempt from Flanders' single environmental and building permit (omgevingsvergunning) and from any notification requirement, provided the building's volume doesn't change and its energy performance doesn't worsen. Some municipalities keep a local permit requirement, but only for a limited list set by the Flemish government. Where a permit is still needed, expect 60 days under the simplified procedure or 105 to 120 days under the standard one, with a possible 60-day extension.
07.2 · Renovation obligation
Already in force for three years — Brussels and Wallonia start only in 2028
Since 2023, anyone buying a home with an EPC label of E or F must renovate it to at least label D within a legal deadline — 5 to 6 years depending on the purchase date; check the exact cut-off on energiesparen.be. Missing the label risks a fine of €500 to €5,000, repeatable every year until the label is reached. This is already in force in Flanders, while Brussels and Wallonia won't introduce a comparable obligation until 2028.
07.3 · Mijn VerbouwPremie
Top two income brackets: heat pump or boiler, nothing else
Since 1 March 2026, the two highest income brackets can no longer claim Mijn VerbouwPremie for most works — only for a heat pump or a thermodynamic boiler, and at a reduced amount: an air-to-water heat pump down from €2,250 to €1,500, a thermodynamic boiler down from €900 to €450. Brackets 3 and 4 keep the previous amounts. Anyone who applied before 1 March 2026 stays under the old conditions.
07.4 · EPC-labelpremie
EPC-labelpremie: the window has closed
The EPC-labelpremie has been scrapped for every income bracket, and its transition window — applications until 30 June 2026 for an EPC started before the end of 2025 — is now closed. Only households that activated their EPC through Fluvius before 1 January 2025 remain exempt. Don't count on this grant in a quote drawn up today.
08 · Questions
Your questions
Your questions
before you sign
What comes up at almost every first visit.
Can the quote increase once work has started?
Not without your written agreement. The quote is a firm price, broken down line by line. If something unexpected turns up — a dead pipe behind a wall, a weakened structure — we stop, cost it, show you, and you decide. No extra work goes ahead without your sign-off.
How quickly can you visit us in Duffel?
We generally arrange the assessment visit within 24 to 48 working hours. The actual start date for the work depends on our current schedule and is stated in the quote — we do not promise a date we cannot keep.
Can I stay at home during the works?
For a bathroom or kitchen, usually yes: we phase the work around you. For a full renovation with demolition and rewiring, it is rarely comfortable to stay. We tell you honestly at the visit, along with the schedule that goes with it.
Do I need planning permission for my renovation?
It depends on the type of work and your local council. Interior refresh, sanitaryware, electrics, flooring: usually not. Changes to the facade, the volume, a load-bearing structure, or a change of use: yes. We give you a clear answer at the visit and put together the file with the architect if needed.
How do you decide where one stage ends and the next one begins on a Duffel project?
A stage ends when the agreed checklist for that trade is signed off on site; the next crew only starts after that signature, so work never overlaps or rushes a substrate that is not ready.
What is checked on the roof, the drains and the gutters while access is already up?
While scaffolding stands, the roofer inspects flashing, tile condition and valley drainage; the drain camera runs the main runs and the gutter fall is tested with water before the scaffold comes down.
