We compared over 8 providers and hopefully chose the right one. From pure general contractor to civil engineers, to “we do all trades ourselves,” from extremely cheap to very expensive, everything was there. At least that gives you an overview. There were indeed big differences in communication and motivation. But yes, another topic.

I think we will do something similar and discuss the plans with the building code office. Then you already get a first assessment of which procedure might be appropriate from their point of view.

Well, I wouldn’t call it full-blooded certainty now. It’s more about setback areas, heights, site coverage ratio, etc., and also requirements from the development plan, like cistern, terracing, enclosures, etc. I am gathering a few elevations.

3m longer is quite a statement. It should have been clear from the start that this causes trouble?

That would be our plan too. The complaining in the new development area is huge… Although we are currently probably between 6-12 months waiting for approval.

That would also be our plan. The whining here in the new development area is loud... Although we are currently probably between 6-12 months for approval.

Over eight – so even eight and a half?
Comparing such a colorful mix of apples / pears / cherries / plums probably causes more confusion than clarity. Since professionally I do nothing else but show how it’s done right (although you could do it yourself if you’d get bored by a consultant’s involvement). The differences in communication and motivation probably mean how convincingly and dutifully the recipients respond to layman inquiries (?)

The building authority here is too much a party to really provide good advice. They want little work and little risk for themselves. Their best answer will be "We can tell you more precisely than ‘about 42’ once you send us your plans – either as a preliminary building inquiry for xyz euros with weeks processing time, or as a building application for abcd euros with months of processing time."
