Turn-Key Renovations Without the Stress

A full remodel becomes easier when one contractor manages the full process from planning to handover. Instead of juggling separate trades, you work with a single point of contact who coordinates scheduling, permits, ex*****on and finishing.

A turn-key renovation is designed to keep the project moving in the right order. That means surveying the property, planning the work, handling permit applications when needed, carrying out demolition and structural changes, then completing electrics, plumbing, insulation, plastering, flooring, tiling and painting. The result is a renovation with fewer gaps, fewer delays and a smoother handover.

Project management is what keeps a renovation from turning into daily chaos. Each step depends on the one before it, and rushing one trade too early can cause problems later. Good coordination also matters for paperwork, structural calculations and required permits. When these are handled properly, the whole project feels more controlled and predictable.

Older homes often hide surprises once walls and floors are opened. Moisture, outdated electrics, uneven structures and materials that need specialist handling can all affect the schedule. That is why careful planning, clear communication and a realistic reserve for unforeseen work are so important.

Before hiring a contractor, define your scope clearly, compare itemised proposals, check registrations and insurance, review similar completed projects and agree on stage based payments. It also helps to make key design decisions early so the project can move without unnecessary pauses.

A successful renovation is not about doing everything yourself – it is about choosing the right team and setting the project up properly from day one.

☀️ What if your home had the space and daylight you've always wanted, without having to move?

That's exactly the kind of transformation we worked on in this 1955 house in Hilversum.

The original ground floor needed a more open layout and a better connection to the garden.

Our renovation included:

🔨 Removing the wall between the kitchen and living room to create a larger, more practical kitchen.

☀️ Building an extension with an impressive 3 × 6.09-metre skylight.

🌿 Installing custom-made French doors opening directly onto the garden.

🏠 Adding crawl space insulation and underfloor heating with automated controls.

We also replaced the electrical system and modernised the technical installations.

The finished ground floor feels open, bright and connected to the outdoors, with the comfort of modern heating and updated systems.

Sometimes the home you want is already the home you own. It simply needs a better design.

🏡 Thinking about renovating your home in 2027? November is a good time to start planning.

A complete renovation involves considerably more than choosing finishes and finding a contractor.

Before construction can begin, you need to understand what's possible with your property, what needs replacing, how much the work may cost and whether permits are required.

And these decisions take time.

For example, if you're planning a new kitchen alongside underfloor heating, electrical upgrades and structural changes, all four need to be considered together. Otherwise, one late decision can affect several stages of the project.

At CBS Renovation, we start with a property assessment, discuss your priorities and prepare a detailed quotation and project schedule.

That gives you time to make informed decisions before construction begins.

Exterior Painting to Protect Your Home Against Dutch Winters

Exterior painting in the Netherlands is more than a cosmetic upgrade. It is a key part of weatherproofing that helps keep rain out of wood, render and brick while allowing trapped moisture to escape. When paint is applied at the wrong time or to the wrong surface, damage often appears after the first hard winter.

Dutch winters are especially demanding because they are damp, not just cold. Walls stay wet for long periods, freeze overnight and thaw again during the day. That cycle puts constant stress on facades and makes water management essential.

Water expands when it freezes. If porous brick or render is saturated, repeated freeze and thaw cycles can cause spalling, crumbling pointing and loose render. Wind driven rain makes the problem worse on exposed walls, especially in coastal areas and open landscapes.

Timber faces its own risks. Window frames, fascias and eaves absorb moisture at joints and end grain. Once the paint film cracks, the wood swells, the coating lifts and rot can begin out of sight.

For masonry, the right coating must let the wall breathe. Vapour open mineral or silicate systems are often better than a tight film forming paint. In many cases, brick does not need paint at all. Repointing and a vapour open water repellent treatment may protect the wall more effectively while preserving the original surface.

Preparation is critical. Algae and moss need to be removed, loose paint taken off, cracks repaired and rotten wood replaced before coating begins. The surface also has to be dry enough for the system to perform properly. Exterior work is usually best planned for spring through early autumn in dry conditions.

At CBS Renovation, exterior painting is often included as part of a larger renovation project, such as facade renovation, a whole house renovation or a house extension. This approach makes sense when new frames, insulation or structural changes affect the facade. Painting afterwards creates a consistent finish and helps connect old and new work visually.

Before facade work is planned, check whether your home is in a protected area or subject to municipal design rules. Some properties may also need an environmental permit before the appearance of the facade is changed.

If your facade shows cracked pointing, damp patches or flaking paint after winter, it is worth including repair and painting in your wider renovation plan before the next season brings more damage.

🏠 Can You Live in Your House During a Renovation?

Sometimes, yes. But the real question is whether it will remain practical — and safe.

For smaller, isolated works, staying at home may be perfectly realistic. During a major renovation, several things need to be considered first.

Essential services. Will water, electricity, heating and a functioning bathroom remain available throughout the works?

Construction sequence. Renovation rarely happens neatly room by room. Plumbing, electrical work or structural changes can affect areas that were not originally part of the plan.

Dust and safety. Demolition, cutting, temporary wiring, tools and unfinished surfaces are normal on a construction site — but difficult to combine with everyday family life.

Duration. Managing without a kitchen for a few days is very different from living around construction for several months.

Sometimes staying is realistic. Sometimes temporary accommodation makes more sense. In other cases, the works can be phased so part of the house remains usable.

The important thing is to decide before the schedule is finalised.

A good renovation plan considers not only the finished home, but how you get there.

Planning a major renovation? Let’s discuss the practical side too.

When you walk into a finished home, you notice the things you can see.

The oak floor.
The kitchen.
The bathroom.
The light coming through the windows.

What you don’t see is often what made the transformation possible.

For this home in Trompenberg, Hilversum, the renovation went far beyond the visible finishes.

Electrical and plumbing systems were renewed. The roof was insulated. Double glazing improved the building envelope. Walls were plastered, new oak flooring installed, and the kitchen and bathroom completely renovated.

None of those elements exists independently.

A new bathroom needs the right plumbing and ventilation behind it.
A new floor has to work with everything underneath it.
Better glazing and roof insulation change how the house retains heat.
Electrical decisions need to anticipate how the finished rooms will actually be used.

That is the hidden architecture of a renovation:

dozens of technical decisions that eventually become invisible.

And perhaps that is the point.

When the project is finished, a home should not feel like a collection of construction solutions.

It should simply feel right.

CBS Renovation carries out complete residential renovations in Hilversum, Bussum, Laren, Eemnes and Naarden, coordinating the technical work and finishing as one project.
