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
Five trades,
Five trades,
one point of contact
Plans, permits, the residents' association, insurance: the admin side is part of the contract, not another job for you between site visits.
In Zele, the homeowner first decides which areas require attention and which should remain outside the work zone; the written quote then records that choice and the planned order. After visiting the home, Alpha Services Benelux sets out the work before any tools arrive. Trades follow the same scope as work moves from preparation through completion. In an occupied house, access routes and protective measures are considered alongside the tasks themselves.
Plans and planning permission
We prepare the planning application, liaise with your architect or structural engineer, and track the approval timeline with your local authority.
Coordinating with the residents' association
Meeting requests, works approval, access to shared areas: we prepare the paperwork your syndic or residents' association expects before site starts.
Scheduling and subcontractors
A site manager sequences the trades, signs off each stage before the next begins, and absorbs delays instead of passing them on to you.
Fixed quote and 10-year guarantee
A firm line-by-line price before works start, a 10-year structural guarantee on load-bearing work, and a certificate handed over before the first day on site.
Handover and snagging
A joint inspection of the finish, a dated snag list, and follow-up until every item is closed — the site is not finished until you have signed it off.

The site manager who signs your quote is the same one who signs off the handover. No handing the project to a different team halfway through.

lands on your desk
The usual complaint about a multi-trade site: nobody owns the problem once it falls between two crews. Here is what we take off your hands.
- ✕Lining up the tradesYou do not coordinate bricklayer, electrician and tiler yourself: the site manager sequences the work and settles scheduling clashes.
- ✕Putting together the planning applicationIf your local authority takes longer than expected to decide, the start date slips, not the price: the quote stays the one you signed and the trade-by-trade schedule shifts with it.
- ✕Dealing with the residents' associationThe file we hand your residents' association pairs the signed quote with the team's 10-year insurance certificate and VCA certification, sent as soon as the site date is fixed.
- ✕Proving the site is insuredThe 10-year structural insurance certificate and the team's VCA certification are handed over before the first day on site, not chased up afterwards.
- ✕Chasing trades after handoverOur site manager follows the snag list through to closure — you are not left calling five different numbers yourself.

Renovating in Zele:
what changes
Five provinces, one Flemish planning permit system (omgevingsvergunning) — but rules that have already shifted twice since early 2026.
The same written scope stays with the job as work is arranged in Zele and, where relevant, neighbouring towns such as Dendermonde. It gives every trade one agreed reference for boundaries, sequence, finishes, and approved changes.
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 every first meeting with a general contractor.
What happens if a subcontractor falls behind?
Our schedule absorbs the delay, not yours. The site manager reorders the trades and tells you in writing if the handover date moves — that never happens without an explanation.
Who handles the planning application in Zele?
We put the file together with your architect or our engineer, submit it to your local authority and track the timeline. Site work does not start before approval, unless the works do not need one.
Do we need sign-off from the residents' association before starting?
For a flat, usually yes: a meeting request, works approval, access to shared areas. We prepare these documents and give you a realistic timeline at the visit.
What does your 10-year guarantee actually cover?
The structural work we carry out or coordinate: foundations, load-bearing walls, roof structure. Finishes such as paint or non-structural tiling fall under a separate workmanship guarantee, stated in the quote.
If I ask for extra work after the project has started in Zele, what happens to the price?
The new request is assessed against the work already specified, then priced in a written addendum. Nothing is added to the agreed scope until the homeowner has reviewed and approved that document.
How do you limit dust and noise when work is taking place in an occupied house?
Work areas are separated with temporary barriers, routes are protected before tools are used, and dust extraction is placed near the source. Noisy tasks are arranged around the homeowner’s agreed access needs.
