Unfortunately, the search for hesse did not yield clear results. [Bsp] only applies from 1 meter wall height, etc. Or if roofed. I think a call to the building authority will clarify it.

What you can do to check if the garage is slipping: fix a cross-line laser far away and mark a height line on the garage. Then observe and hope.

Good luck

I would like to throw in a founding recommendation for building within existing structures once again.

"The new building will be connected flush to an existing building. According to DIN 4123:2011-05, new foundations next to existing foundations must be founded to the same depth as these, or existing foundations with deeper foundation soles must be underpinning sectionally using concrete exchange bodies accordingly."

Therefore, as already described, involve the building authority and have backfilling done immediately. I always especially appreciate photos!

Best regards

Until the office gets moving, I would inform the site management and the client in writing that you expect an immediate cessation of construction activities on your garage wall until the structural inspection is completed.

As you say—once they have installed the pool, they can say a lot about what they have done and secured there, and it will no longer be easily verifiable...

I always wonder why no picture and/or sketch is posted here? So close to the garage, I can hardly imagine it visually. According to the description, the garage must have already settled.

It should have foundations under the walls on at least three sides. Only one of them is now more or less hanging in the air. If the garage walls are made of concrete, they also support each other. But that is not okay.

Depending on the garage type, there may also be only two strip foundations.
