Hello dear community,
I am currently a bit confused regarding the ideal sequence of construction preparatory measures and hope you can shed some light on this.
Initial situation:
- A rear property is to be developed and built on (see drinking water pipe and general site plan as attachment)
- The house + garage on the front property are to be demolished and the property is initially not to be rebuilt
- The pipes for the new house are to run under the driveway
- We are building with a general contractor and have to/want to take care of house connections + construction preparatory measures ourselves
Questions:
(1) Would there be any advantage to "recycling" the old electrical and water pipes from the demolished old building initially for construction power and construction water? For the final house connections, as far as I understand, we would need a new connection to the street network anyway, so this probably does not save anything?!
(2) Can the final drinking water pipe, wastewater pipe, and electrical/media conduits already be laid under the driveway before the construction road is created, so that the access/construction road does not have to be reopened later? Could there be problems if 40t vehicles drive over these pipes?
(3) I assume that for drinking water, electricity, and internet, the asphalt on the street/sidewalk must be dug up to make the connections. Can this be consolidated/simplified somehow or is this simply the usual procedure?
(4) Is there anything to consider when creating the construction road so that the compacted material could be used directly as the base for the later paving of the driveway?
Thank you very much for your feedback!
