Construction Enforcement Rescue – What We Deliver

A construction stop is a critical situation involving financial pressure, legal risk, and contractor conflict. Aboss acts as your Technical Shield, restoring control through facts, calculations, and authority.

Technical Audit Report

On-site analysis of what has actually been built and how it deviates from approved drawings or national safety regulations (Bbl).

Recovery Drawings & Structural Calculations

Immediate production of the technical documentation required by municipal inspectors to lift the construction stop.

Communication with Municipal Enforcement

We take over all technical communication with the municipality, removing pressure from you and preventing escalation.

Structural Legalisation of Built Work

Validation and correction of already executed work (incorrect steel beams, walls, foundations) to prove structural safety.

Regulatory Context – Environmental Act & Enforcement

Under the Dutch Environmental Act (Omgevingswet), municipalities have expanded authority to immediately halt construction if structural safety is questioned.

  • Penalty orders (dwangsom): We ensure compliance to avoid severe fines.
  • Bbl compliance: We assess whether correction is required or legalisation via technical equivalency is possible.

From Construction Stop to Restart

  1. Immediate review of enforcement letter and permits
  2. On-site forensic structural inspection
  3. Recovery strategy and calculations
  4. Submission to municipality / Omgevingsloket
  5. Formal request to lift the construction stop

Amsterdam & Regional Enforcement Practice

In Amsterdam and surrounding municipalities, inspectors strictly enforce structural safety, especially in older buildings involving foundations and wall removals. Aboss understands the technical language inspectors require to approve continuation.

Typical Situations We Resolve

  • Incorrect steel beam installed by contractor
  • Extension built higher or wider than permitted
  • No structural calculations available during inspection
