Question 1

Does Struck account for the specific local regulations of my municipality?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Struck tailors answers based on your project’s location, referencing city, regional, and national regulations (NL only) so that you get a consolidated view of what is allowed on a specific plot.

Question 2

How does Struck help large teams stay aligned on a project?

Accepted Answer

You can create shared project folders, upload internal policy briefs, and ensure every architect or official is working from the same regulatory baseline, reducing internal friction.

Question 3

How do I know the information is up-to-date?

Accepted Answer

Our library is synced in real-time with official government sources, like the DSO in the Netherlands. When a regulation changes in the Netherlands or EU, Struck reflects it immediately.

Question 4

Is my project data safe and GDPR-compliant?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Struck is ISO-27001 certified and uses European-hosted servers. Your uploaded project documents are never used to train public AI models.

Question 5

Can I use Struck as a homeowner to find out what I can build without a permit?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Struck includes a dedicated tool for residents, powered by vergunningvrij.nl. Enter your address and get a personalised overview of what you're allowed to build on your plot — no permit required, no jargon.

Question 6

What is permit-free building and what rules apply?

Accepted Answer

Permit-free building means you can construct certain structures without applying for an environmental permit. The rules depend on your location, the type of structure, and the zoning plan of your municipality. Struck shows you within 30 seconds how many square meters you may build permit-free in the rear yard of your specific plot — including any municipal exceptions.

Question 7

How is Struck different from the Omgevingsloket?

Accepted Answer

The Omgevingsloket is the official government portal for submitting permit applications. Struck is not a replacement — it's a preparation tool. Before you file an application or issue advice, Struck gives you instant clarity on what is and isn't allowed, backed by direct citations to current building regulations.
