From when does "building" count?

Let's assume I build a 1 meter wide path on my acquired property in the outer area, consisting only of natural stones lying side by side. Is that already considered constructed? Because laying a few stones next to each other can be done quite quickly.

Building regulations of your federal state?

For example, for Bavaria:


1Structural installations are connected to the ground, installations made from construction products. 2Fixed installations of commercial advertising (advertising installations), including vending machines, are structural installations. 3Structural installations are installations that are intended to be used predominantly fixed in one place according to their purpose, as well as
1.
Embankments, insofar as they are not a direct consequence of excavations,
2.
Storage areas, parking spaces and exhibition spaces,
3.
Campsites and weekend sites,
4.
Leisure and amusement parks,
5.
Parking spaces for motor vehicles.

So as long as you are not building a storage or campsite with it, no...

Hi Scout, thanks for the answer. With your help, I have looked up the building code of my federal state Hesse and found the definition:

Accordingly, I could build a treehouse - which is not connected to the ground - right?

"(2)1Structural installations are installations connected to the ground, made of building products. 2A connection to the ground also exists if the installation rests on the ground by its own weight or is limitedly movable on fixed tracks or if the installation is intended according to its purpose to be predominantly used in a fixed location. 3The following are considered structural installations:

10HESSE BUILDING CODE (HBO)1. Embankments and excavations,2. Storage, parking, and exhibition areas,3. Sports and playground areas,4. Camping, tent, and weekend sites,5. Leisure and amusement parks,6. Parking spaces for motor vehicles and storage spaces for bicycles,7. Scaffolding,8. Auxiliary facilities for the static securing of construction states."

You have started several threads here with similar impetus - instead of beating around the bush, please tell us exactly what you plan to do in the outdoor area. It certainly won't be a treehouse, nor a dissertation on building law, right?

or if the system is intended to be used predominantly in a fixed location according to its intended purpose

From my point of view, this would now apply to a treehouse

Ok, accordingly everything is a structural facility and everything is subject to building law.
