New single-family house construction - How solid is the financing?

With us, it was first said that earthworks would start 2-3 weeks after receiving the building permit, which we have had for 9 weeks...

Then it was said June 21st.

I actually thought it would start then, but apart from the delivery of the construction site toilet, nothing happened.. :rolleyes:

The contractor has been in contact with the authorities the whole time. Immediately after the building permit, the construction road is to start, then tree felling and earthworks.

The BU is in constant contact with the authorities. As soon as the building permit is granted, work on the construction road will begin, followed by tree felling and earthworks.

I sincerely wish it for you!

I don't believe any schedule anymore until it's right in front of me :D

I truly wish it for you from the bottom of my heart!

I don't believe any schedule anymore until it's standing in front of me :D

I will only believe it when they start. The problem is the authorities. Recently, they left our documents untouched for 3 weeks because they were filed incorrectly. Afterwards, the processor was on vacation for 2 weeks. A dream. It's now been 6 months since the building application...

And because that is so unpredictable, no one can tell me that a general contractor would request approval immediately after authorization. At most, they begin the detailed planning.

For us, the authorities are the fastest!

Building permit in 9 days.

Contaminated sites, building encumbrances etc. all in 1-3 days.

Application for construction site crossing sent on Saturday, approval was received by email on Tuesday and by post on Wednesday.

Probably this is too fast for our general contractor or they also expected longer waiting times.. who knows..

And because it is so unpredictable, no one can tell me that a general contractor would inquire immediately after approval. They at most start the detailed planning.

Not at all. We've been working with the authorities for a long time. And we ask weekly. In the end (2 weeks before) you get a date confirmation. Then planning for the construction access road begins immediately.
