A potential lawsuit against my construction project is looming! What now?

A conversation with the building authority tomorrow will certainly give me more insight

Then also ask if you can work with a clearance procedure.

That’s all well and good. But there are no reasons for me to worry.

That’s why your thread here questions “what now?”

especially with neighbors who have already stood out negatively.

So far only one neighbor has stood out, namely the one who slandered the others.

To me, this somehow reads like "would have / could have" and "I heard".

That’s how it is. I already said: it’s all hearsay.

You are certainly partly right. But now it’s personally about clever behavior for me. What I do and what I better should leave alone.

I would say: grade F in diplomacy and sociology.

You apparently belong to those people who often stand in their own way without realizing it.

It’s completely normal to introduce yourself to future neighbors BEFORE construction.
Here it would even be diplomatically appropriate.
Only then do you have certainty whether you need to worry.

Edit: strike the word you, replace it with You

Then also ask if you can work with a release procedure.

Ok, I will do that. I will also initiate some kind of mediation if possible. I think the building authority will support me or, as said, advise me.

That’s why your thread here questions “what now?”



So far, only one neighbor has stood out, namely the one who has reported on the others.

I would now say: grade 6 in the subject of diplomacy and sociology.

You apparently belong to the people who often stand in their own way without realizing it.

It is the most natural thing to introduce yourself to future neighbors BEFORE the construction.

Here it would even be diplomatically appropriate.

Only then can you be certain whether you need to worry.

Edit: strike the word “one,” replace it with “you”

Before you build, you buy. Besides, the construction has already started, so I will be visiting the construction site frequently. It was already criticized in advance but not officially yet. In my opinion, your assessment is more than wrong. Rather an accusation against me and not against the one who wants something. An introduction to the neighbor would have taken place at the latest when construction began.

Nonsens discussion. If you stick to the development plan, the neighbor can make as many "objections" as he wants. He will not be able to prevent the construction. Anyone who objects to a construction that complies with the BP is probably dissatisfied with their life and definitely the one lacking social skills. Moreover, such (unjustified) objections are dismissed in no time.

Pointless discussion.

Even more so, especially: in vain:

In the end, it’s about right and wrong.

Those are categories that you don’t even need to resort to without confrontation.

But now it’s personally about skillful behavior for me. What I do and what I better should avoid.

Take the plugs out of your ears, you’ve been told multiple times: skillful behavior would be to simply introduce yourself in a friendly way as a measure to build sympathy: “Hello, I’m Tommy. Your beautiful house stands all alone here, so I thought I’d just put mine next to it.”

Are you afraid they will like you? – maybe they have long wished for a Tommy as a neighbor.

If you want to take away their fear that you’re exactly the same jerk as the previous owner, then you’re behaving in the most counterproductive way right now.

I would say: grade 6 in the topic of diplomacy and sociology.

In this sense, rather: six with stars and merit badges, in Bavaria there would also be a holy picture on top – in this case exceptionally even for a damn Prussian Protestant.
