Construction of a 144 sqm bungalow in Fichtenwalde (near Potsdam)

With us (also Land Brandenburg), an official site plan was created during the first survey. I received a copy of it. With that and the boundary stones, you have the exact fence line and can mark it out yourself.

But how is it with a fence? Don’t I need the exact points to be able to set up the fence?

If you want to place the fence exactly on the boundary, then yes. ;) With private neighbors you might still be able to agree on a course with them, but with boundaries to public areas that will probably be rather difficult. Like I said: we just had that topic...

But that presupposes that permanent boundary markers exist for all relevant points, which in my experience is by no means always the case. So the surveyor will have to come after all, or you help yourself with your own measurements.

What are all relevant points for you? We have a boundary stone exactly at one corner of the property and one at the other end of the property on the field path there. Then more on the street (two properties further each) and at the back end of the properties on the field path there. One of them the surveyors first had to search for, it was hidden in the ground. That should allow for a reasonable measurement. If necessary, you stay 5 cm on your own property, then you are on the safe side.

This should allow for a reasonable measurement.

You must not assume that your situation applies everywhere else as well. In our case, for example, existing markings were removed in the course of the construction of access roads. As I said: official boundary markers are, in my experience, by no means always found.

Ok. Until now, I thought that they had to exist. Hopefully, this is the exception in your case. But you actually know that or see it on the site plan that you get with the building application documents.

Yes, there is no boundary stone or markings on the left side (forest). The boundary is about 73 meters long. I will look at the offer carefully, then decide. I will probably first mark the boundary for the tree cutter with wooden stakes and barrier tape. When the house is standing, we will decide whether a marking will then be carried out. Thanks for the many replies :cool:
