Building a new home in South Holland with Global Bouw: from dream to reality

Are you dreaming of a new home in a beautiful location in South Holland? Whether you choose a modern villa, an energy-efficient family home or a compact custom home: with Global Bouw on your side, your living dream will become a reality. In this guide, we take you through the entire construction process: from the initial idea to the completion of your new home.

Step 1: Orientation and capture desires.

Every construction project begins with a dream. Perhaps you already have a clear picture of your future home, or you are still gathering ideas. During this orientation phase, it is important to think about:

• Living requirements: How big should the house be? Do you want a garden? How many bedrooms?

• Style and design: Modern, classic, rural or industrial?

• Budget: What is realistic and what are your financial possibilities?

• Location: In which region or city in South Holland do you want to live?

Global Bouw offers a free initial consultation in which your wishes are mapped out. Our experts give immediate advice on the feasibility of your plans.

Step 2: Finding the right building plot

A home cannot be built until a suitable building plot is available. Plots are available in South Holland through municipalities, property developers and private sellers. Global Bouw supports you in finding a suitable plot based on:

• Your desired place of residence or region

• The surface area you need

• Building possibilities according to the zoning plan

• Accessibility, amenities and surroundings

• Budget and expected value development

If you have your eye on a plot, we will check with you whether construction is legally and technically possible. This way you avoid surprises.

Step 3: Permits and regulations

In the Netherlands, building is bound by regulations. Global Bouw ensures that the entire permit process runs efficiently. We guide you in:

• Drawing up a building application

• Consultation with the municipality about the building regulations

• Submitting the environmental permit via Omgevingsloket

• Checking fire safety, energy requirements and construction standards

We work together with architects and specialists who have experience with local requirements in South Holland. As a result, we minimize delays in the application process.

Step 4: Architecture and custom design

Designing a home is more than choosing a floor plan. It's about atmosphere, functionality and future-oriented construction. You will work with our architect on:

• An initial sketch design based on your wishes

• Visualizations to assess the design

• Choice of materials, layout and technical installations

• Adjustments based on permit requirements and construction budget

• Possibly integration of sustainability measures such as heat pumps, solar panels and high-quality insulation

This results in a final design ready for execution and permit.

Step 5: Finances and agreements

Before construction begins, it's important to get the financing right. Global Construction will help you with:

• Understanding the total cost of construction

• Quotes from contractors and suppliers

• Guidance in closing a mortgage

• Advice on tax schemes and subsidies (for example for sustainable building)

Once everything has been arranged, a clear construction contract will be drawn up. This contains the agreements made about costs, planning, responsibilities and guarantees.

Step 6: The construction phase

After the drawing work and permits, the actual construction of your home begins. This is the phase where your plan becomes a reality. Global Construction coordinates the entire process:

• Earthwork and foundation

• Structural work: floors, walls and roof

• Installations: water, electricity, heating

• Finishing: plastering, painting, bathroom and kitchen

• Sustainable applications: solar panels, heat pump, insulation

  
  

During this period we will keep you informed of progress. You are welcome to visit the construction site at agreed times.

Step 7: Completion and aftercare

After construction is completed, the handover follows. This is when you officially become the owner of the home. During the completion:

• The house is thoroughly inspected for defects

• Together we make a list of any completion points (Snagging List)

• You will receive all usage and maintenance documentation

• The energy performance certificate (EPC) will be handed over.

• The formal transfer takes place at the notary

  
  

Global Bouw also offers support after completion. You can count on a warranty on the work delivered and we remain available for maintenance advice, help with adjustments or future extensions.
