Well... premature celebration: after the regulatory office approved the crane parking space yesterday, it seems that today the building authority got involved and revoked the approval. Various phone calls apparently didn’t help. The crane has to go.
Since the street is only 6 meters wide in total, and the plots are not filled in either, so that it could be placed further into the property, it is standing too far on the street. Therefore, it seems it really has to be dismantled again. My general contractor says he hasn’t experienced anything like this in 25 years. There is no smaller crane, and lifting it into the backyard also doesn’t work. Now the workers are supposed to struggle and move the formwork panels with the excavator. That will probably take about a week longer.
Unbelievable: they actually hand you such a property just to throw more obstacles in our way as builders.
I will personally appear at the building authority on Monday and try to resolve the problem.
I just wonder how the prefabricated houses, which all need a mobile crane, are supposed to proceed? Maybe the building authority can help me with that question.
