Question 1

Why do you charge a percentage fee for Construction Management (Phase 3)?

Accepted Answer

A percentage-based fee is the industry standard for project management in high-end
construction. It ensures our interests are fully aligned with yours: the fee reflects the
complexity, responsibility, and the level of oversight required for your specific project. This way, whether you are doing a kitchen remodel or a full villa renovation, you receive a level of service proportionate to the scale of your investment.

Question 2

Am I committed to all three phases once I start with a Quick Scan?

Accepted Answer

Not at all. Our services are modular by design. Many clients start with a Technical Quick
Scan to explore their options. After that, you decide if you want to proceed to the Design & Tendering phase. You stay in control of the process and the pace.

Question 3

Do I have to work with your network of contractors?

Accepted Answer

While we have a vetted network of professionals who we trust for their
quality and reliability, you are never forced to use them. If you have a contractor you prefer, we are happy to manage them for you. However, our partners are familiar with our high standards and way of working, which often leads to a smoother and faster process.

Question 4

What is my role during the renovation process?

Accepted Answer

Your role is to be the decision-maker. We handle the "dust and the headaches" - the daily
communication with builders, technical problem-solving, and budget monitoring. We provide you with weekly updates and photos, so you are always informed without having to be on-site yourself. You focus on your job and family; we manage the build.

Question 5

How does the collaboration with the Interior Stylist work?

Accepted Answer

In Phase 2 (Design & Styling), our stylist works closely with us to ensure that the aesthetic vision for your home is technically feasible. While she focuses on mood boards, materials, and furniture layouts, Multiply ensures the electrical plans, plumbing, and structural changes support that design. This integrated approach prevents costly mistakes later in the process.

Question 6

Does the project fee include VAT (BTW)?

Accepted Answer

No, all mentioned prices and percentages are excluding 21% VAT (BTW). Please note that
while our management services are taxed at 21%, some labor costs for renovating homes
older than two years may qualify for the lower 9% VAT rate in the Netherlands. We will help you navigate these tax benefits during the project.

Question 7

Can you help me if I am still living abroad?

Accepted Answer

Yes, absolutely. We specialize in "Key Holding" services for expats who are still in the process of moving to the Eindhoven region. We can manage the entire renovation before you even arrive, so you can move into a finished, beautiful home the day you land.
