Hello,
last year we bought a nice plot of land in Falkensee. In November, all documents were sent by our construction company to the responsible building authority so that the building permit could be granted.
In January 2013, a building permit was issued with a condition included. Now the real problem began. According to the building authority, the construction company's planning office should have known that with a neighboring railway property an immissions protection value results and therefore the planned wall thickness would not be sufficient. After some emails and phone calls, it was clear that their insurance would cover the additional costs. (A weight was lifted off our shoulders) Unfortunately, the ordeal is not over yet and now my problem comes. The construction company needed from January 2013 to April 2013, so 4 months, to send the new documents with the changed wall thicknesses to the building authority!!! That means I have been paying provision interest on my construction loan diligently since November, but the construction company really has not done anything yet, on the contrary, due to the fault of the construction company I am already 4 months behind schedule. Therefore the question: can I sue the construction company for damages? It would be great if anyone perhaps has a tip, I am slowly desperate... Thanks in advance.
