Understand the foundation
Supply drawings, available investigation and dimensions. A foundation can support retained or neighbouring elements. Its role must be assessed before demolition.
Ground, water and temporary support
Excavation, groundwater and temporary stability can require specialist assessment. Removal methods must match the site and the engineering plan.
The agreed site condition
State which foundation parts go and to what depth. Backfilling, ground treatment and construction of a new foundation are not automatically included.
What is included?
The quotation lists removed components and layers, protection and waste arrangements. Structural provisions, service adjustments and reinstatement are included only where expressly specified.

Work sequence and safety
Photos and documents support the initial assessment. Where needed, a site visit or specialist information follows. Equipment, dust control, protection, sorting and handover fit the actual project. Unknown materials or structural functions require assessment before work continues.
Your Amsterdam property
Include the floor level, access route and permitted lift loads. Shared areas, homeowners’ association arrangements and any protected status are considered when preparing the work.
