Hello, since we are currently planning when we can start working with our architect, I have a question. We will have a solid construction built.

How developed does the plot have to be in order to start construction? Specifically the phase of the foundation slab and the shell construction.

From when is water and electricity supply on the construction site required?

The reason for the question is that the new development area in which we will be building is divided into 2 construction phases. Part 1 will be developed in autumn, Part 2 at the beginning of summer 2014. The street where our plot is located lies about halfway in section 1 (as does our plot). Now the boss of the company doing the development says that the street should be finished by autumn (i.e. everything laid and construction road). The city supervises and commissions the development and also the municipal utilities (responsible for the supply) cannot tell me whether the lines can be used from then on. So it is quite possible that we can theoretically be supplied, but in practice not use it until construction phase 2 is completed because "the circuit is then not yet closed."

Since no one can tell us anything definite, we want to play it safe and start in such a way that the supply definitely works.

Since the city has always been very good so far in its planning with the realignment and development and everything is even currently ahead of schedule, I assume that the supply will actually be ready by June 2014.

If the shell construction (I’m throwing out there) takes two months, can we already start digging before June without electricity and water "from the street"?

We would then commission it so that work can start in May. That way we would still have a one-month buffer if the development takes longer. What I want to avoid is planning too tight. I don’t want to have a shell construction standing there and then wait weeks for the supply. Provided that is even possible at all.

Thank you very much.

Moin Moin.. I can only tell you how it went with us. The masons brought the water themselves throughout the entire shell construction phase. The concrete for the floor slab comes premixed. But we needed electricity from day one. Even just for the crane. That's why I would say it would be rather difficult without the possibility of electricity.

... actually immediately ... just ask your energy supplier if a provisional construction site connection can possibly be installed .... but it will definitely involve costs ...

Hello,


From the very beginning; sometimes already for the earthworks.

For this, you have to rent a standpipe (water) and a construction site meter box (electricity) from the respective suppliers; but this might be difficult in your case. I also see a provisional construction site connection as difficult, since the development follows a schedule and this action would disrupt that timeline.

There is still one idea: the construction area surely won’t be in the middle of nowhere, meaning there is already existing development nearby. If this is the case, you can ask one of the owners if you may tap into their water or electricity temporarily via a meter. However, this probably won’t be cheap, because you have to protect—cover—the lines throughout the entire route to your construction site from damage.

Rhenish regards

Just as a side note: Have you clarified whether you are allowed to start building before the completion of the development? The municipality usually gives the green light for construction. If the development is carried out differently than planned in one construction phase (because of the ring closure?), will the green light for the occupancy permit also be given simultaneously? I would have it confirmed in writing that you are indeed allowed to start building from May.

Hello,


Me too (still) – so you are (hopefully) in good company :D

Then ask him how the shell construction will be carried out – crane required yes/no, water provided by the craftsmen yes/no, etc.

Rhenish greetings
