Our log house construction 2023/24 in Lower Saxony

And why does he have that? Because he has to carry out your projects :)

Well, I would like to learn that from you dear ypg, ;-) how I can motivate my husband to carry out my projects. I keep complaining that he always plays the hero in distress for other women and I can see how hard I work. ;-)

Lots of tools, but no spirit level, mind you ;-)

I’m at a loss. :)

Oh, then you're in the same boat as me :p

Uih, then you feel the same as I do :p

So... mine usually implements his own ideas with his pile of stuff - which, however, often also suit my taste. :cool: Last year at Christmas, for example, there was a really great homemade floor lamp made from an old oak beam :)

I’m at a loss.

As long as you’re standing straight ... I seem to recall he has a twisted view of the slope of your terrain :)

We were informed in writing yesterday by the building authority that our notification of the start of construction has been received. Now I am a bit confused – during the course of our project, a representative of a general contractor, an architect, and in connection with our house manufacturer, I was told and/or implied that we are allowed to start "automatically" after four weeks have passed, provided we do not receive an objection from the building authority. Now this letter states "Construction may only begin once I have confirmed to you in a separate letter that 1) the development in the sense of P30 para.1 Building Code is secured and 2) a preliminary prohibition according to P15 para.1 sentence 2 [I]Building Code is not applied for."[/I]

The letter dated the receipt on 18.07., the creation date is 20.07., and it arrived by post on 28.07.

I have scheduled my earthworks contractor for calendar week 38 assuming the 4-week deadline – I guess I can forget about that under these circumstances, right?

Yesterday we were notified in writing by the building authority that our construction start notification has been received.

This is just the popular simplified summary ...

Now this letter states "Construction may only begin once I have confirmed to you by separate letter that 1) the development pursuant to P30Abs1BauGB is secured and 2) a provisional prohibition pursuant to P15Abs1S2BauGB is not requested."
The letter was dated as received on July 18th, the creation date is July 20th, and it was in the mail on July 28th.

... and that is now the full version. No veto, but also no free pass, rather a permit with restriction and a note on a possible adverse circumstance. That means you are promised a "go," but you still have to wait for it. An earlier start would still be unauthorized. A “fictitious approval by the expiry of the deadline” has not occurred here, since the authority has not been inactive, but has started processing with the obligatory note that your lack of veto alone does not constitute an unconditional approval. It will still take some time – but probably considerably less than if they had made further requests for completeness deficiencies. I assume that applicants authorized for the mentioned possible prohibition have been contacted by the same mail, have a deadline of one month after receipt, and you now know the duration of the subsequent postal delivery. Assuming no illness of the officer in charge, you can roughly estimate when the final "go" will come.
