Crane from the neighbor on my property

I would simply use my own contractor as a pretext for the contract: I myself am quite relaxed about it, but the contractor knows the contractor of the neighbor from another construction site and is pushing so that he doesn't get into such a predicament again... which and why I don't know, but the contractor is the professional and I am a layman.

So just a self-written paper here, it basically only contains obvious things. Please sign it, then I'll open the six-pack with you. Cheers! How are you planning the boundary wall, maybe we can do something together? Or share the excavator for the garden?

And done.

Wow, thank you very much for the many responses. I would like to help out our neighbor. But what concerns me are the notes from Mottenhausen. Does the erection of a crane mean construction activity? Of course, we would not want to report a construction start yet (for our project). Our builder's liability insurance also begins later. How is it if, for example, only topsoil is removed from the site, that is also construction activity, isn't it? In a stricter sense, probably no one asks why topsoil is being removed from our site (i.e. for the neighbor's crane), but the building authority would only note that soil is being removed. Can someone perhaps comment on this?

Our own crane probably fits (...) in our own front yard. Our house is set back a bit further. Additionally, we are building a prefabricated house, so the crane can be removed quickly again if it actually needs to be, for example, on the curb.

I would not consider the crane position of the neighbor on your property as your construction activity. However, I found the note about determining the "original" ground levels before changes for the crane site to be worth considering - at least if height restrictions for your house refer to such ground levels.

But now completely paradoxical scenarios are being described again, which are otherwise secured and rather fit basement kids with a stick up their back as well as a neck brace. Let’s keep things realistic and be the person you want as a neighbor. A contract with neighbors does not secure any additional little piles on the property, they are simply there – whether with or without a contract from whoever. Those who own property have more worries than those who do not – it has always been that way. I agree with and . Do you also make a contract with the neighbor if you water their flowers while on vacation? It could be that you break something or the plant dies...

But as I said, here in the village a handshake is usually enough, it still counts like a contract here. I also signed an official order with very few craftsmen, a handshake was enough there.

Such a "handshake" is legally just as much a "contract" as a 20-page document. Only the evidential value is (at least without witnesses) logically much more difficult. Accordingly, you have also concluded legally binding contracts with the craftsmen – just orally.
