That would be great, then I can confront him with the pictures right away and ask. Thank you!

I also believe that the company or architect/site manager should have checked and pointed out beforehand whether there is enough space for the necessary crane for the house. How is a client supposed to decide that on their own.

We had an appointment with both the architect and the site manager where it was checked whether and how the crane can be set up and whether the long trucks have space.

I definitely see it as the company's responsibility to discuss this together with the client.

Of course, this does you no good now. You will have to bear all costs for it, which you would have had to do anyway if the issue with the power line had been recognized earlier. Only the potential delay that may now occur could have been avoided.

It might actually be cheaper to make the meadow stable and passable, if that is possible.

The problem arises so to speak because of the space the scaffold occupies. That’s how I understood it.

Does the scaffold have to be there during the installation?
For us, it was first installed and then the scaffold immediately afterwards.

Of course, one expects the construction company to recognize a power line as a problem. That’s why you hire such professionals.

Then I’ll ask naively: How often has the site manager been on site to notice this line?
Is the line shown on the plans that the company has?

Hello,
I also asked about the scaffolding, it is supposed to be set up from a height of just over 2m. The scaffolding grows with the house.

The site manager as well as the architect were each on site twice independently of each other.

If I had been informed beforehand that the crane couldn’t be positioned with the current access road, the house could have been placed two meters further to the left and I could have built my driveway accordingly afterwards....

I don’t believe I can convert the meadow into a crane area due to lack of access. However, I will bring it up again.

Thanks first of all for the feedback, maybe Tina will still send the pictures of her crane.

I will report to you on the result from Monday, if there is interest.
