Why choose Avenir Renovations?
Why undertake a renovation in Leuven?
Motivations vary, but they converge on one point: to live better in a property that is worth more.
Adapting the housing to your life
A house designed forty years ago may no longer correspond to how we live today. Opening the kitchen, creating an office, adding a shower room or a bedroom: renovation brings coherence to the volumes.
Consuming less energy
Insulating, replacing windows, modernizing heating and ventilation: comfort improves and bills decrease. In Flanders, it is also an obligation for those purchasing a property classified E or F, to bring it up to D level within six years.
Protecting the value of the property
In a market as monitored as that of Leuven, a renovated property, well-rated and without major work in sight, sells and rents more easily. Renovation also extends the lifespan of the entire building.
4 steps for a well-managed renovation
Regardless of the project, the quality of a renovation relies on a few simple rules, applied without exception.

Order matters: we insulate first, then size the heating for a house that has become less energy-hungry, and then we produce part of its energy.
Townhouse, mid-terrace, villa, apartment, or rental building: our housing renovation solutions cover heavy projects, with or without an architect depending on the work. Restructuring, extension, storey addition, division, or bringing student accommodations up to code.
What is the price of a renovation in Leuven?

| Interior refresh | Painting, flooring, minor ceiling repairs | 200 to 450 € / m² |

The advantages of a renovation with Avenir Renovations in Leuven
A single point of contact from start to finish
Your Project Manager follows you from the first meeting to the handover. One number, one responsible person.
They conduct the visit, establish the estimate, choose the craftsmen, and check the progress. You do not have to follow up with six different companies.
All trades coordinated
Masons, electricians, plumbers, plasterers, carpenters, painters, heating engineers: each intervenes at the right moment, without downtime. The schedule takes into account drying times, delivery deadlines, and intermediate checks.
Materials suited to the Belgian climate
Products chosen for their durability, easy maintenance, and compliance with Flemish technical requirements. We prioritize brands whose parts and after-sales service are available in Belgium.
Clear commitments
Free estimate within eight days after the visit, fixed price, ten-year warranty, online tracking of progress. If you change the program along the way, the modification is priced and validated by you before any execution.
Procedures and grants for your renovation work in Leuven
When an architect is necessary
For interior work without structural modification, an architect is not required. As soon as stability, volume, or exterior appearance is affected, an omgevingsvergunning and an architect are generally necessary.
The time to obtain a permit is measured in months: it often determines the start date of a transformation project.
Work that qualifies for assistance
In Flanders, regional assistance focuses on energy-related work: insulation, glazing, and heat pumps, with income conditions starting from March 2026. A kitchen, flooring, or a bathroom are not subsidized, but benefit from the reduced VAT rate in a home older than ten years.
Preparation time
For a significant construction site, two to three months of preparation is reasonable: site visit, estimation, material selection, orders, and any necessary permits.
Custom kitchens, frames, and certain carpentry require six to ten weeks of manufacturing: they should be ordered early to arrive at the right time in the project.
Frequently asked questions about renovation work in Leuven
How to obtain a reliable renovation quote?
A reliable quote is made after an on-site visit, not from photos. It details each item with quantities, materials, and labor, and specifies what is not included. At Avenir Renovations, it arrives within eight days after the visit.
What VAT applies to renovation work in Belgium?
The reduced rate of 6% applies to renovation work carried out by a company in a private dwelling whose first occupation dates back more than ten years. Below ten years, the normal rate of 21% applies, except for exceptions.
Should you notify your municipality before starting work?
For work subject to omgevingsvergunning, the application is mandatory and is done online. For scaffolding or a container on public roads, an occupancy permit is requested from the City of Leuven, even for work exempt from permits.
Can a renovation be spread over several years?
Yes. A roadmap is then established with a logical order, starting with what protects the house and what goes into the walls. Each step is estimated separately so you can progress at the pace of your budget.
Your renovation in Leuven starts with a visit
The first step takes place at your home, free of charge. We assess the condition of the property, listen to your priorities, and provide an estimate. You then decide, without pressure.
A call or the quote request form is sufficient. Your Project Manager will call you back within two working days.
