Amsterdam and surroundings
Amsterdam has a lot of old buildings: the canal ring dates from the seventeenth century, and neighbourhoods around the centre such as De Pijp and Oud-West were largely built in the late nineteenth century. Further out are post-war districts such as Nieuw-West and Zuidoost, and new-build housing on IJburg.
In the older neighbourhoods, stairs are often narrow and steep, and parking is paid in large parts of the city. Say in your job description which floor the job is on, and whether materials can go up the stairs or need to be hoisted up the outside with the hoisting beam on the facade.
With a job in Amstelveen, Diemen, Zaandam, Landsmeer, Ouderkerk aan de Amstel, Badhoevedorp or Duivendrecht you're welcome here too: what counts is whether your address falls within the radius of a builder, not which municipality it's in.
How your job reaches a builder in Amsterdam
When a builder signs up, they choose a working area: a radius around their work address, measured in a straight line. If your job in Amsterdam falls within that radius and they offer the trade and service of your job, they see your job and can send you a proposal.
AlMijnKlussen is new, so we can't promise how many proposals you'll get: that depends on the builders who have signed up with Amsterdam in their working area. Posting is free and without obligation.
What to put in your job description
- What you want: an extension, a renovation, removing a wall, bricklaying or insulation.
- The dimensions, and a sketch or building drawing if you have one.
- The year the house was built.
- Whether there is already a permit or structural calculation, or whether that still needs to be done.
- Photos of the current situation, inside and outside.
- Whether you'll keep living in the house during the work.

Frequently asked questions
Who sees my address?
Professionals see the town of your job and a rough spot on the map (to within about a kilometre), never your exact address. You share your full address yourself — only when you want to, with the professional you choose.
Which service should I choose to have a wall knocked through?
Choose ‘Wall removal & structural work’. Mention whether it is a load-bearing wall if you know, and add a photo and the measurements. If a structural calculation is still needed, you can post a separate job for that with the service ‘Structural calculation (engineer)’.
