There is much more to adding a balcony than just a beautiful design. Safety and stability come first, and that is why a construction calculation is very important when you start this project. Constructiefgoed is your specialist in the field of construction calculations. We are happy to guide you through all the details to ensure that your balcony not only meets all requirements, but is also safe and sturdy.
Why a construction calculation is important for your balcony
A balcony may seem like a simple addition to your home, but there are many technical aspects that play a role. A construction calculation guarantees that your balcony is safe and stable. This is important because a balcony must be able to bear different types of loads, such as:
- The weight of the materials that make up the balcony.
- People using the balcony.
- Additional loads such as snow in winter or strong winds.
A calculation helps you choose the right materials and dimensions. This prevents structural problems and ensures that the balcony meets all building regulations. In short, without a good construction calculation you are taking unnecessary risks.
The dangers of a balcony without calculation
Adding a balcony without a construction calculation can have serious consequences. Consider, for example, instability, cracks or even collapse. These are risks that not only cause financial damage, but can also be dangerous for residents and passers-by. You may also encounter legal problems, such as:
- Receiving fines for illegal construction.
- Withdrawing your mortgage.
- Obligation to remove the balcony and restore your home to its original state.
You can easily prevent these problems by having a construction calculation made immediately.
Document with a permit application
You always need a permit to add a balcony in the Netherlands. The municipality wants to be sure that the balcony is safe. A construction calculation is a mandatory part of the permit application. Without this calculation, your application will not be approved and you will in fact be building illegally.
A permit not only protects you against legal problems, but also provides certainty that your balcony meets all legal requirements. This allows you to enjoy your new outdoor space without worries.
