Evaluation of Building Site Soil Report?

I don’t agree at all.

A geotechnical report is always formulated in the "worst possible" way so that no one can hassle the surveyor afterwards. Hence all the standard phrases about how bad the encountered soil is.

What counts is only the foundation recommendation |Page 6, Point 3|. It contains a clear instruction: excavate 80 cm deep and fill with sand, possibly deeper in the area of the old manure pit. I mean, that’s great, if this were a bad geotechnical report, then 2 m deep frost protection would have to be installed, or even better: pile foundation, waterproof tank and so on. None of these problems exist here. Estimate roughly 1 m depth times house ground area plus slope area/workspaces, then you can calculate how much excavation will result and how many tons of gravel are needed for filling. I would expect around 5,000€ additional costs here compared to ideal foundation according to the construction specifications. You’d have to first find a plot where it becomes cheaper.

Edit: if you have a bad feeling, then don’t take it, but as I said: don’t be annoyed if the geotechnical reports for the next 5 plots aren’t any better either.

Morning,

I will have it calculated.

Regarding the bad feeling, I’m not superstitious, but there’s not exactly a lucky star over the plot either... There were 6 people before us who wanted the plot too. But none got a building permit. At the moment we’re the only ones who have come the "furthest". We have a positive preliminary decision, have a geotechnical report... But the owners have now also separated :eek _O It’s a nice plot, but there are a few aspects that I don’t like...

I have attached the preliminary decision. Since the wall at the front is to be preserved, we are allowed to build the house further to the back... The wall is on the north side! But the terrace would be covered by a corner of a barn... I measured the front plot (surveying device from work) and merged the points in a 3D program. I placed the house with the garage as far back as possible. In front of the house towards the wall would only be lawn... But hardly any sun reaches there.. (Attachment Grundstück_1) You can see the corner of the barn well there. But we are not allowed to build further back because of the visual boundary between the two houses.

We are a bit torn... (I know, no one can make the decision for us)

, I’d say with 200 m² it’s still at worst 20,000€... The house is supposed to be between 130-150 m²... but if you count the garage and a bit around it, you quickly get to 200 m²...

, ok. Meaning approx.?

Thanks in advance =)

Best regards

That all sounds way too skeptical to me. Keep searching. This is apparently not your dream country if you already have so many reservations. It seems to me that there is a lot of peripheral development here - not just 3-meter-high garages, but also barns and houses. Is that so?

Yes, unfortunately that is the case. When I look at the top view, there is a large barn on the left, a garage/barn at the front right, and right behind it the house..

So "squeezed in between"..

Finding a plot in the village will be difficult. Now hoping for an existing house.

I can't imagine at all that it's so hard to find something in the village? One village over there are 1200m² completely detached for €7000 on [immoscout], at least on [Maps] it looks great if you want to go to the village.

The property is no good. I wouldn't want to live there. Cramped between ruins, dung heaps, barking curs, and runaway chickens. K.

but that is then a general rejection of village locations and has less to do with the current property.

"cramped" is relative, the property is 27m wide along the street and approximately 60-70m deep. I cannot get exact measurements from the drawing, but 1500-2000sqm is quite an amount. In addition, the garden is perfectly oriented to the south.

If you don't place a 15x13m palace, but rather an average and above all affordable 10x11m or 9x12m volume, then nothing feels cramped here anymore. I find the property extremely attractive, as long as the price fits and you can come to terms with village locations in general. Preliminary building inquiry positive (you can always apply for smaller), building ground report ok. Wall to the street. If you don't take this, you'll regret it, bet on it! I plead for: Go for it!

Ps. the separation of the owners is a great luck for you, they now urgently need money!
