Good evening everyone,
my girlfriend and I are planning to build or have a prefabricated house built on our property. We have shortlisted two prefabricated house manufacturers, but a crucial question recently came up...:
Since we are building on the boundary (on both sides with the neighbors’ permission (clarified) and the building authority’s approval (still pending)) we need an F90b fire protection wall on both sides. These walls naturally have no windows. Since we live in Rheinland Pfalz, there are special regulations regarding a fire wall here:
The Landesordnung RLP states according to § 30 Landesbauordnung I that a fire wall may consist of non-combustible materials.
Since almost all prefabricated house manufacturers (at least the ones we have chosen) build walls with wood, this type of construction in my opinion is not allowed. We of course inquired about this and received the answer that this is indeed possible, since all the fire walls comply with the DIN standard and are approved as such. Otherwise, they would not be allowed to build row houses either.
We are now very uncertain whether we should go ahead with a prefabricated house manufacturer or not, because it clearly states in the Landesbauordnung that a fire wall must NOT consist of combustible materials...
What is correct now... or what can we do, is building only with a solid house manufacturer possible here...?
Thanks in advance!
